Recording Audio from Radio Stream

audioaudio recordingstreaming

I'm sitting here listening to a radio show that is being broadcast live over an internet stream, but I would like to keep bits and pieces for later-enjoyment. Is there a way I can easily record streams in real-time? I should note also (not sure if it's necessary or not) that this stream requires me to first login before listening.

Best Answer

You could just use VLC.

The cross-platform open-source multimedia framework, player and server

VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player and multimedia framework capable of reading most audio and video formats (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, DivX, MPEG-1, mp3, ogg, aac ...) as well as DVDs, Audio CDs VCDs, and various streaming protocols. See the full features list.

It can also be used as a media converter or a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on networks.

I've used for exactly what you are asking and it works great.

To do this you have to:

  • Media (Medio)
  • Convert / Save... (Convertir / Salvar...)
  • Network tab, input the origin stream (Tab Red, escribir la dirección de origen)
  • Press Convert / Save (Presionar Convertir / Salvar)
  • Output: Check File. Select a filename and path. (Salidas: Tildar Archivo. Elegir nombre de archivo y directorio)
  • Make sure Audio Codec is selected. (En códec de audio, tildar Audio)
  • Hit Save (Salvar)
