I would like to record a radio programme (from the BBC) which streams using
Real Player.

Is there any way of recording the audio that I can hear on my PC - but can't
be easily recorded (if you know what I mean)?

Cheers.

You could always plug an audio recording device into your sound card where
you would normally connect the speakers and record whatever comes out. The
#1 DRM killer!

Or you could download one of the many stream recording apps that work with
Real Player streams.

If you have a Mic, try using the Sound Recorder utility in Vista located
under All Programs > Accessories. I'm not sure if its what you want, but it
does a good job recording audio. I record a song I couldn't download that
was being streamed by simply putting my Mic next to the Computers speaker
and clicked Record button the Sound Recorder utility.
 
Or if the OP has Nero installed, he can use Nero Wave Editor.
Once inside, choose Audio, Record.

How low tech! I guess you also advise people to get a canvas and oil paints
and paint an image of their screen so they can take a screencapture! lol

Vista's SOUND RECORDER can do this. Depending upon Vista version, files
will be either WAV or WMA. See HELP & SUPPORT.

If available, configure recording in your sound utilities for "what you
hear."
 
Hi Carlos,

Great to see you, will drop by the 64-bit ngs when I get a chance.
 
Thanks Andre. That (holding a microphone up to the speakers!) worked
surprisingly well! Cheers.
