I did find that, but the stream is not an .mp3 file.
So? Mplayer will dump an ASF stream. In fact, I tried that with your
stream, and it worked fine. What's the problem?
Can I dump the stream directly as an .mp3 file?
Prolly not directly with Mplayer, but you could dump to a FIFO and
read the FIFO in your encoder (or decoder first) of choice. Or just
reencode the dumped ASF file later on, although that will likely
degrade file quality.

recording streams with OpenBSD
Does anyone have a good way of taking streams from the web (like music streams) and record them to whatever format, specifically .ogg or .mp3? I first tried to use Mplayer and dd if=/dev/sound of=/var/audio.raw like in the FAQ, but it kept saying that the audio device was busy. I then looked around on google and found something promising. It is called shstream (http://shstream.sourceforge.net/). Basically, it is a shell script that downloads the stream using Mplayer, then takes the file and converts it. While the script appears sound, it is over 2 years old, and while it creates the incomplete directory, and the pipe file, but will not create the .mp3. Mplayer is not even started, as when I am running top, Mplayer never appears. I found Streamripper as well, but the audio feeds are .asf. Mplayer plays them just fine, but it would appear Streamripper can't. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate hearing them. Bryan

I didn't think that was possible without using some kind of encoder like LAME (which I have installed). Bryan

Try using audio/streamripper from ports. It worked quite well for me. -Sam I would use that, but stream ripper won't do .asf files...

Read the manpage (it's the same as mplayer(1)) for more details. Another option is to play the stream and output to a file device. This will give you a raw dump of the audio stream which you can then convert with lame (or again with mencoder).

Re: recording streams with OpenBSD
Check out http://www.nmedia.net/~chris/mp3ivo/ I did this a while ago when I got tired of missing my favorite radio shows. There's also a web front end there for easily playing stuff that you record. It's all driven by cron and very, very basic.
