Recording radio stream from sound card - how? P.S. page link
Hi, sorry, it would've been helpful if I'd posted the link. The page is: http://www.abc.net.au/wideopenroad/ You then click on Destinations then on Road, then on Road Radio at the bottom. I'm assuming there's a flash player playing a sound file, but in the source code I can see a 'site_loader.swf' but not a path to the sound file. I get no result from Hardy's inbuilt Sound Recorder. Grateful for any suggestions! Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

David, Firstly, you should consider the license for the media you want to record - it may or may not be legal to save the audio, depending on ABC's TOS. That said, if you want to go ahead here is my advice. I think you're looking into it in the wrong way. From a quick look on the web site, the flash applet downloads an mp3 file which it then plays. The most simple way would be to grab the mp3 file yourself How do you get it? Have a look at the HTTP headers. There's a firefox add-in called Live HTTP headers that will give you the location of all HTTP content transferred through the browser session (including the mp3 file that the flash applet pulls), so you can grab it yourself. Have a play around with the add in - or if you're feeling game any other method of inspecting HTTP headers, a packet sniffer like wireshark will also do the same thing but it's not nearly as friendly IMHO. Worst case if they're actively blocking HTTP requests you may need to fake the referrer - which is probably the job for wget.

Re: Recording radio stream from sound card -how?
Just had a look at the RN page to see if it's possible Dave and you'll have no problems using the method I described. The URL for 'Wide Open Road' on RN is: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/intothemusic/ And, as a example, the URL for the episode broadcast on November 1 is: mms://media3.abc.net.au/rn/mod/itm_01112008_56S.asf (or) mms://media4.abc.net.au/rn/mod/itm_01112008_56S.asf -- Simon Ives [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.simonives.info Please consider the environment before printing this email or any attachments. -- Message: 4 Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:28:27 +1100 From: Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Recording radio stream from sound card - how?

Recording radio stream from sound card -how?
Hi, I wish to record in real time a 60-min ABC radio documentary that is streamed on-demand from the website, i.e. it's not provided as a download. I wish to have it as a file because second-language learners of English can then 'wind back' sentences to hear them again, or in order to extract specific bits that might be most useful for second-language speakers. The program just starts playing from the beginning without any complication in the browser when clicked on. i.e. doesn't seem to be .ram What can I do to record it? I am not sure how to get Audacity to record off the sound card. I can't see VU meters in Audacity either. I can't get Soundrecorder [default installation with Hardy Heron] to do it either. In case I ought to be telling you what specific sound card I have [in case that makes a diff], I'm not sure how to identify what type it exactly is either, sorry! Thank you if you have any suggestions, Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
