Re: recording question with live 365
Hamish, i'm sure I could, force of habit, grin. I have tended to use it for archived shows but would assume I could bookmark them from RealPlayer, right? Actually, I have the tara plugin and Winamp configured to play all the file associations it can, so wonder if that will work. Guess I'll have to have a play with it.

Re: recording question with live 365
Susan, I can certainly do a quality comparison between Winamp and their player. If when listening to Winamp I don't get the interuptions that I'm paying to avoid, I guess I'll have the answer on whether there's a difference. At any rate, thanks much for the thought and I know what you mean about embedded players. In general I don't think much of them.

Hi Tom. Quality from the 365 player is excellent. It's not the most screen reader friendly product in the world, but it does sound good.

Re: recording question with live 365
Susan, I'm using the Live 365 player because I understood that you had to use it if you were a paid subscriber. In other words, if you use other players, you don't get the higher quality stream or the reduced interuptions. Do you know whether or not this is in fact the case? I do know that recording quality from TR was much better with Winamp. - Original Message - From: "Susan Wojtecki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: recording question with live 365
Dean, actually the volume sounded okay. It was the quality that was off... more dull than distorted. Do you have to switch to the total recorder sound scheme in order to record streams? Or is it possible to use your own sound card? - Original Message - From: "Dean Martineau" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

recording question with live 365
I've signed up for Live 365's preferred member plan in order to listen with higher quality. It sounds great until I record a stream using Total Recorder. TR requires that alternative driver thing which may work well for them, but I don't think a lot of it. My Live 365 stream recordings come out distorted and somewhat muffled. That being said, I'm looking for new software for the purpose. Any suggestions? Has anyone tried recording a stream from a service that employs its own player using Replay Radio? It is the use of a stream specific player which seems to create issues for Total recorder.
