IMHO, that's not true. because vsound get's an 44kHz 16bit stream from realplayer and this will be recorded by vsound. So it uses the same amount of space as it would with a audio-cd-copy. It doesn't depend on bitstream-rate of the broadcaster, 'cause vsound does not save the real-stream. I set up once a little shell script, which does mp3 compression on the fly with the help of vsound. here's the line, maybe it helps someone to save some space /usr/local/bin/vsound -d /usr/bin/trplayer -q -n -t $duration rtsp://212.58.224.66/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio1/live/fmg2.ra | /usr/bin/sox -s -w -c 2 -r 22050 -t raw - -t .wav - | /usr/local/bin/lame -b 128 --ta "Radio 1 $title" --tt "$PrintDateTitle" -a -f - "/home/chregu/mp3/bbc/$Sendung.$PrintDatum.mp3" chregu
