Re: capture real audio stream

This is pretty easy if you have either mplayer or audacity installed.
If you happen to be playing from BBC 7 it is particularly easy, and all
you have to do is right click on the listen link and save the ram file
to your drive. Then you just read it as it is plain text, and inside
you will find something like:
rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/bbc7/0930_sun.ra?BBC-UID=34f67dd2ff9daa4baac9cd5c20f0b659244a9c75a07060437bfa8149d4698951&SSO2-UID=
I'm trying with this one
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/musicclub/events_andrewlloydwebber.shtml
and can't find such links, not even with Page Info (as suggested by
Joachim); could it be they changed something in their site?
BTW, if all of that fails for some reason then you can always open
audacity (before the audio player to make sure your sound card is
available for recording), adjust your input to volume and set the volume
levels. Then you can open the browser and start the player, and begin
the recording in audacity. This will record the stream as a wav as
well, though if your signal drops out you will have to clean up any
silent patches in the file. The mplayer way is much, much better as it
will automatically correct any failures in the feed and so the resulting
file will have no blank patches in it, so I really would recommend that
way first.
I'll also try with audacity, but I'd like to use mplayer as you suggest...
thanks in advance
