How Can I Record Streaming Audio from a Radio Station?

Question

I have to work during a program that I like to listen to; the program is on a station in another state, and online is the only way that I can access it and listen to it. Is it possible to record it so that I can listen later? I'd appreciate recommendations on software to do this, as well.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try using Mozilla firefox, use the add-on downloadhelper. then start the streaming. you'll find a icon jst next to your address bar rotating. click that and you'll be able to download the audio.  

Answer 2

Ok ignore the other answerer, it only works if the live stream is actually a posted file, rather than an actual live feed. Say for example, youtube is a live stream of a recorded file, and in which case you can use:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

With this add on

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox...

However, if its a radio station, use this:

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

You'll need to set it up to stereo mode, so go into preferences when you install it, set the number of recording channals to 2 (stereo). If you have any other troubles or its not working, feel free to email me Ill help you as much as I can.

Best of luck!
