Re: Recording with Rec?

I have some questions for you. First, is the audio that you want to record primarily online streams or do you want to record with an external source? If you want to use a microphone or similar, I don't know what to suggest. However, if it's mostly streams you want, just use MPlayer and have it output to a PCM wave file. You can then use sox, lame or oggtools to encode to mp3 or ogg. Also, if it's an mp3 stream such as shoutcast, icecast or similar, wget should work nicely. If it's Windows Media, try mmsclient. In the case of MPlayer, this is what I use:

mplayer -quiet -vo null -ao pcm file.rm

It also supports .asf and obviously online streams and playlists. If it's an online mp3 stream, do something like this:

wget -b -i file.m3u -O file.mp3

You can also pass a URL instead of a .m3u playlist. I have recorded streams for years this way. Be warned that the wget method does not write proper mp3 headers. I've never had a problem with the files playing, but technically they aren't valid.

By chance, are their better programs in non-graphical to record audio from my sound-card? Hopefully without always switching to root. I seem to have an mp3blaster, but in alsamixer, it is missing any options for increasing treble, so I handle that in mplayer.
