Re: Downloading music from Internet radio

I have a similar problem. I have recording software installed and am able to
play locally stored .wav files using MS Medias Player and have them
successfuuly record. If I use the links in web pages to play streaming audio
files, even through MS Media Player, they don't record. I am trying to
record a concert my son played in on CBC 2 radio. I have verified my
settings and procedures with the recording software tech support. I was able
to do this successfully in March 2007 and nothing has changeds in my set up
that I know of. What should I be checking?

Use Audacity. What is your soundcard ?

As the recording option use " What you hear" (if your soundcard software has
that option) will do the trick.

Cheers,
Jerry

I have a Soundblaster Live! card. I do not have a "what you hear" option, so
I use Wave file, which is what I had been using in the past when I
successfully recorded. Now, if I play a wave file stored locally on Media
Pplayer, it plays fine, the recording software's VU meters jump, and the
software records the sound. If I play a streaming audio file through Media
Player with the same settingsd, it still plays fine, but the VU meters are
dead and the sound doesn't record. The system as a whole is treating
streaming audio differently than wave files.

I have not intentionally cahnged anything since I laast successfully
recorded. Clearly something has changed siince I am getting different
results. I am looking for advice as to what to check to figure this out.

I had a Live! card and it had a What You Hear Option in the recording
section of the mixer. If I remember correctly : double clock on the
loudspeaker icone in the Systray > Properties > Record > OK > and tick it.
