I tried this out a while ago and found that you I couldn't record NullSoft's own Shoutcast mp3 streams which is what all the decent quality stations I was interested in were using. It's possible to just record to a wav file straight from the soundcard but you'll to disable system sounds as they'll right there right in the tunes.
BTW, is WinXP taking away that ability? The greatest weakness of any secure audio codec was that a user can always just record from the sound card but I heard (maybe wrongly) that WinXP changes the sound driver scheme so that you can't. That said there's nothing to stop someone from putting a lead from the sound socket into the mic socket and just recording from mic, although quality might degrade slightly from digital-analog-digital conversion. Anyone know a good resource on this? -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Lancelot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 23:23 To: CF-Community Subject: FW: Boogying to techno umm... it is, in winamp there is / you can download Nullsoft MP3 Plugin (out_mp3.dll) which can save a steam down to mp3 however, by default I think you can only record at 56kbps - to do more you have to purchase the professional version of the fraunhofer IIS codec - and I don't think its cheap... (several hundred dollars I seem to remember) there is a hacked version called Fhg Radium MP3 codec v1.263 (but i dont think its legal). As its a realaudio/video file you also need a decent real plugin for winamp - the only one I coulp see on winamp.com was the tara one - and although it works, it doesnt seem very stable - I think I found a better one once... Then all you need to do is to select MP3 output plugin for output - and play the streaming file - and it places an mp3 file on your hd for each file you play... Bear in mind if you have a lowish bit rate RM file, and you save it as a similar bit rate mp3 file, massive quality reduction can occur! I'm sure there are simpler ways of doing this if its streaming mp3 you are recieving, but I couldn't find another way of doing it with mp3 files.

Luscious soundscape ;-) Tag's Trance Trip is pretty decent too: http://205.188.245.131:8016/ Also worth listening to now and again for chill out tunes: Secret Agent (James Bond audio clips between tunes) http://63.208.2.86:8000/ You can get a lot of the Essential mixes at http://171.65.39.188:8000 -----Original Message----- From: Jon Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2001 18:36 To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Boogying to techno Here is my programming rotation...mostly trance. Paul Oakenfold's Radio One Essential Mix's are great high energy stuff. Cant go wrong with Paul... DJ Doboy's Trancequility Megamix's are all awesome. DJ Coolboy does similar stuff to Doboy, and releases his music on the file sharing networks for free. www.digitallyimported.com streams some awesome trance 24/7. Throw in a smattering of Kylie, Pet Shop Boys, Rollergirl, and Dee Lite's (Got to meet Lady Kira once...) Dewdrops album and that's my daily mix. Depending on how smooth you like your trance, Tangerine Dream will send you off to never never land if your not careful. All on my trusty pair of Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones. When my co-workers want my attention they just IM me. I dont take them off :) jon Angel Stewart wrote: >Whoo hoo! > >Do you guys know of any hot Trance groups out there? > >I know ATB is supposed to be a good group for Techno..dunno the type of >music they play however. > >But I kinda like the smooth, almost musical Trance stuff, so I'm >looking for a good group that does that.
