Greetings everyone,
I'm trying to find a program to copy internet audio from my media player. For example, If I want to listen to a song online, I'll click on a link and It'll come up in my windows media player. I want to copy that onto my computer and then be able to put it on a cd. Anyone know if there is such a program out there?
Techtv.com/screen savers reviewed some software that would capture streaming video not too long ago. I would do a search on their site.

Dave02,
I searched the techtv site and found the program you were talking about, but It only does video and not audio. Thanx for the suggestion, though. Does anyone else know of a proggy that'll do what I'm asking? In the mean time, I'll keep looking for one.
Thanks

As long as the music file is "Legally downloadable" (no copy right infringement), you can use Windows Media Player/WinAMP or a number of other Multimedia Programs to download the music to your HDD.
You need a CD-RW Drive ("CD-Burner") with a Burning Software like Easy CD Creator or Nero that recognizes the burner as approved [ Burner vendor includes the Program in a Disc when sold in Retail Boxes] to record the downloaded Music Files from the HDD's folder to the Blank CD (or "Music CDs", special types of Discs if you like) to create a Music CD.

On the clip, rather than Double-Click to play, try Right-Click and Save Target As. Some songs won't work that way because they're copyrighted, etc.

You can use a recording program such as total recorder to record streaming audio and save it as a .wav file. Then you can burn it onto a cd.

A plugin for Winamp Streamripper
I see nothing for WMP though.
You could look in the TIF folder for the file while it is still showing in WMP. Minimize everything without closing it out.
If found you can copy it to another location.Bryan

As mentioned in response #5 `Total Recorder' is what you want. It will create a WAV file of any audio played on your computer.

Thanks for the replies everyone,
I went to the total recorder site and for the free version it says you are limited to 45 sec. of recording. You all say that total recorder is a good proggy, so I might just shell out some bucks and buy it. I'll get my moneys worth out of it. Once again, thanks for all your help.
Sincerely,
The nugget king

If you don't want to spend any money, you can also use the sound recorder that comes with windows instead of total recorder. To see how you can record more than 60 seconds with it, go to http://www.computing.net/windows95/wwwboard/forum/136238.html

There is one other way and that is to use a double ended 3.5mm plug lead and connect the speaker output to the either the Line-In socket (or the mic socket if Line-In doesn't work). You will need an adapter on the speaker output so that your normal sound remains available. Even with this you still need some sort of Sound Recorder.
The Windows Recorder 60m template suggested in #9 works fine (77.5M blank file).
I've used both these methods but without doubt Total Recorder is by far the neatest way forward - worth the bucks.

This works for video and audio files. When the file has downloaded and starts to play, close the player and open the Temporary Internet Files folder and copy the file (it should be the last item) to the Desktop. Don`t try to open the file until you close IE or you will get an error. I use the freeware dBpowerAMP Music Converter to convert RealAudio and WMA files to WAV. The codecs need to be downloaded separately. The link is www.dbpoweramp.com
