can anyone help me.....
im afta a program that i can stream streaming file throu (DURH!) and somehow record them to burn them to cd... if this makes sence... i no nothing about computers really and thought someone may be able to help me!!!!
thanks guys
rite you want something to stream online music & also copy cd's?
Real Player does it i think.. Not sure
you cant burn streamed files to cd. streaming is a bit like watching TV. you cant rewind TV and watch it later. you have to record as its playing. well streamed files arnt saved anywhere, but you can record the mix while its streaming (which is a bit more complicated so i wont go into it just yet)Quote:

just out of interest, where are you trying to stream from in particular?
mates do a radio show on an underground radio station... and its not broadcasted where i live but they have a live stream link from the web page.... (thuo the live stream aint been working for a few months) and i wanna record it so i have new mixes each week to hammer.......
ur goign to have to record them whilst listening to them live then burn them off using a cd burner like nero.. but im not sure where u cn get free software to record is when u listening live i use creative recorder but that came with my sound card
punk, you'll need about a gig of hard disk space, an audio recorder (not windows sound recorder as that has a cut off limit!!) and a cd writer and software for it (which i'm assuming you already have)
deffinatly download winamp though ( http://www.winamp.com ) as its more than likey they're using shoutcast.
infact, better still, get them to record it. its not much more effort for them as they have to stream it out in the 1st place
^ if he uses total recorder he doesnt need that much space.

other products that can record streams is Wavelabs.
I used total recorder for awhile till i got my creative audigy card and started using there proprietary stream recorder, wich is convient and i like.
Punk, dont feel "dumb", that doesnt make ya know where near that level.
:)
oh yeah, Real Player is made for streaming audio, it will do that well, *cough* , urm, well, they use to suck actually lol.
At least on 56k streaming can be pretty bad.
watch out for those .ram .ra files! those are real audio files.
i like shoutcast much better and .m3u streams.
