eh recording streaming audio will result in a VERY low quality file, I really suggest just downloading the full song from your service, I use rhapsody25 here which allows 25 free streams a month plus 360kbs quality files, www.rhapsody.com/freemusic

Actully you don't loose any quality at all using stream ripper. It sounds about as good as it does when your listening to it on winamp radio.

Thanks for posting that link to rhapsody, ardvark23. That's one I've been meaning to check out but I guess I just lost it in the shuffle of all these other sites. I went to the site and want to make sure I read it right. You actually get 25 songs per month to download w/out using a credit card when you register? I assume it's no problem burning these songs also?

you will be very impressed with soul seek, guaranteed. It is much better than other standard P2P ones like Bearshare or Limewire. Soul Seek is specifically for music only

What did you think of that rhapsody program? I've only tried it out recently and have really liked it so far. 25 free streams a month is pretty cool.

I haven't tried it yet. Probably will register tonight and get started. I have a list of songs I've been wanting for quite some time now. So Rhapsody doesn't provide burning software for the free downloads does it? Will I have to use one of the before mentioned programs to capture and then burn?

Rhapsody DOES have built in burning software but I haven't used it yet, I've bought about 3 albums at 99 cents a song with it & have used it for about 2 months, your 25 streams refresh every month so its a good way to sample music.

Yeah that's what I've been using it for. I've been able to avoid albums I might have otherwise paid money to hear :D I'm not sure about capture programs for the audio but. I'm sure that something is entirely within the realm of possibility. The CD burning software that comes with it works well though for already owned mp3 and the built in playlist creator for mp3s is one of the quickest and best I've used.

I know Napster says you can't burn any tracks to CD unless you purchase them, but if I downloaded the trial version, would I be able to use an "outside" program to burn the tracks I download/stream?

another good program is called audio record wizard
it records all audio from streams or any audio comming from your sound card
you can get it at www.download.com and the software comes with a link it is a good piece of recording software for 30.00 and will record any format to any format but still uses mostly mp3 and wma right now but still good considering itunes converts everything
also be carefull some internet streams have trackers that if you try to record from there stream they will get you ip address and report it to the feds
so have fun
and be safe

how could they tell if you download the stream? from their side it just looks like the user is listening to the stream, they have no way of knowing its being recorded. if that wasn't the case, then all these streaming companies like DI wouldn't have changed their streams to a lower bitrate like they have. I think thats just another myth like the destroying blockbuster dvds

Well, I've been trying a couple of different programs but I don't just want to capture the "live" radio station type streams. I would like to be able to capture and eventually burn to CD songs from sites like this one, http://www.choiceradio.com/index_np.cfm
You can skip ahead, back, fforward, and reverse. Basically like you have a CD in your drive. With this kind of radio station, I can skip around until I hear something I want and then capture it. Anybody have any suggestions on what I need to do? Also, I downloaded winamp (free version) and would like to capture songs from the "Winamp Music" section, the individual songs. Does only the pay version of winamp allow that feature?

I should have referred back to the previous posts. I guess that's what Streamripper is for isn't it? So will it only capture the "live" radio broadcast type streams or can it capture the individual tracks like I mentioned before?

A website dl link for what? The pay version of Winamp? I would like to stick to the "free" stuff if possible ;-).
I guess the problem I'm having w/ the non-live streams is that the live one's you use the url of the site to capture it while it's playing. I could be wrong, but the other sites don't seem to work like that so I'm just not sure how to capture those individual tracks. Would I need to use one of those programs that says it captures any sound that comes through your soundcard/speakers?

no I was talking about the plugin for winamp, streamripper
http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/
I don't know quite how the non-like streams work (honestly never heard of them before) but I've always been able to capture any audio stream with streamripper.
yes stick with free version of winamp, pay version is stupid and a rip off.

I guess a better example of what I mean would be like the 25 free song plays you can get from www.rhapsody.com/freemusic
I would like to be able to capture them and burn them. I wasn't sure if the "url thing" worked with a site like that since the free tracks aren't live streaming. A quick question, does "streaming" mean any audio/video that plays back on a media player or is it only those stations that are more like actual radio where you can't skip songs or fast forward, etc. I guess that's where I'm getting most confused on this topic.

yeah sound like what you are after isn't streaming. you are correct, streaming means a continuous audio stream that can't be forwarded or reversed. I don't think stream capturers will work, but you can always try. another program that captures all types of streams is net transport.

Thanks again, I'll give that a try. Kind of funny...it seems that this post has gone in one big circle and come back to where we started it...talking about net transport :-)! I'll look more closely into that one this time.

Im glad you liked rhapsody, I havent tried napster, but I have tried itunes & yahoos music service, I wasn't that impressed because the standard file bitrate seems to be only 128 kbs, when rhapsody has 360kbs files which is why I even started using the service in the first place.

I just started capturing the stream on shoutcast, but when I checked on the individual captures, the first few seconds of each song was missing... any idea on what is wrong with my settings? The stream doesn't stop, either. I was listening to it while it was being captured. I have the streamripper program. 1.16.14 Please advise.
Thanks!
