Have you downloaded the latest version? 0.22
Make sure BBC Provider Options 'Convert AAC to MP3' box is unchecked.

According to the FAQ - saving as MP3 is the only implemented option. AAC
is just a possibility See

Seeing that you have trouble with VLC - there is a ffmpeg alternative.
The downside with ffmpeg is that it doesn;t understand .pls format

The duration options works with ffmpeg - the stream below records for
15 secs.

The following VLC command records the stream in Flac and stops after

VLC is user hostile and very very picky with syntax when using the

Run the command with -vvv instead of -quiet
Since you are running in a command box - change the width to about 250

I've just tested on Windows. The spaces were the cause but on Windows
if the run-time option and vlc://quit is used the output file has
length zero and won't play. So use the following command and then use
taskkill as before on vlc.exe
Code:
vlc -I dummy --quiet
I do not want to lose quality, and therefore it felt sensible to just
keep it in the original AAC 320kbit format. However I do want to play
it via my SB3s, and if that means converting to FLAC or something then
so be it. The trouble is it don't seem to be able to convert it to
FLAC, or anything
The recorded AAC files should play on SB3 without changes.

Thank you! Have half worked out the problem. The SB3 will play the AAC
file, I just couldn't see the tracks because Media Server was ignoring
the tags that I had set up using mp3tag. Not sure why it ignores the
tags, but at least the tracks are there

IIRC There is no file header in these AAC ADTS format files and so there
cannot be any tags within the file. You'll find the files under Music
folder.

Do you want to record the files in WAV or Flac ?
If so - I'll tell you the relevant mplayer and VLC command.
If you want to convert recorded files to WAV Flac - then use mplayer or
VLC. Many player do not recognise recorded streams as they do not
have a file header.

probably best to store it in FLAC format ..

You wanted to record the stream exactly without change and so the output
isd in an AAC ADTS stream format which has no header. Some player may
be expecting a file format and so will not play it.
You can see info about container formats

It probably won't help you, but all this works just fine under linux.
I have scripts that use mplayer dumpstream and kill mplayer after a set
time.
I do run a simple program after to find the first valid mp3 frame and
throw away everything before it, but I don't know that that is
necessary.
The OP didn't want to lose quality and IIRC didn't want decoding and
recompressing into lossless format - which is why the
mplayer/dumpstream approach suited.
The AAC / ADTS files produced by mplayer are still playable by mplayer,
vlc and even older SB players through SBS/LMS.

Hi - Is there a free way to record internet radio streams, in particular
BBC3 HD? There seem to be some utilities out there but they all charge.
Would be good to be able to schedule a recording too... and even better
to store it in the native streamed format so there is no loss of
quality!
