Re: Recording Streaming Audio?

I had a shell account around with a fair amount of space once, and I put this in a cron script using a symbolic link for wget named acb or acbradio, so at the right time, I could say "killall acbradio." My problem was that using it on Interactive, I'd get 2 hours of backup loop week after week after week. Maybe in their infancy, if you joined the stream and a backup stream came in, it wouldn't go away when the broadcaster started unless you refreshed the client. They could be using winamp magic in that thing too to make that happen that wget just won't deal with.

Hi. I can't help you with Real files such as .rm, .ram, etc but I can help with mp3 streams. You can record many of them if you have wget installed. This isn't foolproof but works great for ACB Radio and others I've tested. For mms streams such as Windows Media Player, I suggest mimms. I'm on Debian which has a package but I don't know about other distros.

For wget, you would do something like this. My syntax might be off but it gives you the idea. Yes, you can have it read the pls file directly as long as it only contains an http url. If it has the usual Winamp header, wget will complain.

wget -itest.pls -Ofile.mp3

wget http://acbradio.org:6246/ -Omainstream.mp3

I think the -O switch should be upper case but I might be wrong. Good luck and I hope someone has an idea for grabbing Real streams.
