RECORDING NET RADIO

[Jen Meyer]

I'd like to record an internet radio program as an MP3 file. Is there a
freeware recorder out there that will do that?

Audiograbber is a beautiful piece of software that grabs digital audio
from cd's. It copies the audio digitally - not through the soundcard -
which enables you to make perfect copies of the originals. It can even
perform a test to see that the copies really are perfect. Audiograbber
can also automatically normalize the music, delete silence from the
start and/or end of tracks, and send them to a variety or external MP3
encoders, such as Fraunhofers L3enc, or even use some MP3/WMA encoders
internally for automatic creation of MP3's. Audiograbber can download
and upload disc info from freedb, an Internet compact disc database. You
can even record your vinyl LP's or cassette tapes with Audiograbber and
make wav's or MP3's of them. There are a lot more functions in
Audiograbber, but to put it simply: Audiograbber has the most features
one can wish from such a program!

Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds.
It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other
operating systems.

You can use Audacity to:
- Record live audio.
- Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs.
- Edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, and WAV sound files.
- Cut, copy, splice, and mix sounds together.
- Change the speed or pitch of a recording.
- And more...

Audacity can record live audio through a microphone or mixer, or
digitize recordings from cassette tapes, vinyl records, or minidiscs.
With some sound cards, it can also capture streaming audio.
- Record from microphone, line input, or other sources.
- Dub over existing tracks to create multi-track recordings.
- Record up to 16 channels at once (requires multi-channel hardware).
- Level meters can monitor volume levels before, during, and after
recording.

Import sound files, edit them, and combine them with other files or new
recordings. Export your recordings in several common file formats.
- Import and export WAV, AIFF, AU, and Ogg Vorbis files.
- Import MPEG audio (including MP2 and MP3 files) with libmad.
- Export MP3s with the optional LAME encoder library.
- Create WAV or AIFF files suitable for burning to CD.
- Import and export all file formats supported by libsndfile.
- Open raw (headerless) audio files using the "Import Raw" command.

Note: Audacity does not currently support WMA, AAC, or most other
proprietary or restricted file formats.

Streamripper was started sometime back in early 2000. Streamripper
started as a way to separate tracks via Shoutcast's title-streaming
feature. This has now been expanded into a much more generic feature,
where part of the program only tries to "hint" at where one track
starts and another ends, thus allowing a mp3 decoding engine to scan
for a silent mark, which is used to find an exact track separation.

Streamripper is now part of the FreeBSD standard distribution,
mentioned in the Linux MP3 HOWTO, known to compile on many platforms
such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, BeOS, OS/2. This is not surprising as
portability was a constant consideration during development.

With the emergence of file sharing protocols such as Napster, Gnutella,
and now Mojonation and Freenet, the average Internet user can download
nearly any mp3 he wants in a matter of no time, but many times people
don't know what they want. Streamripper allows you to download an
entire station of music. Many of these mp3 radio stations only play
certain genres, so you can now download an entire collection of
goa/trance music, an entire collection of jazz, punk rock, whatever you
want.
