Vista - Slightly OT: recording audio stream in Vista

I would like to record a radio programme (from the BBC) which streams using
Real Player.

Is there any way of recording the audio that I can hear on my PC - but can't
be easily recorded (if you know what I mean)?

Cheers.

Bobby

You could always plug an audio recording device into your sound card where
you would normally connect the speakers and record whatever comes out. The
#1 DRM killer!

Or you could download one of the many stream recording apps that work with
Real Player streams.

If you have a Mic, try using the Sound Recorder utility in Vista located
under All Programs > Accessories. I'm not sure if its what you want, but it
does a good job recording audio. I record a song I couldn't download that
was being streamed by simply putting my Mic next to the Computers speaker
and clicked Record button the Sound Recorder utility.

Or if the OP has Nero installed, he can use Nero Wave Editor.
Once inside, choose Audio, Record.

You can download jetaudio free version that lets you record any
sound event that is playing on your soundcard...

see here:Jetaudio basic 6.2.8 http://www.cowonamerica.com/download/

It can record in WMA or Wav

The payed version can record in mp3 also.

How low tech! I guess you also advise people to get a canvas and oil paints
and paint an image of their screen so they can take a screencapture! lol

Vista's SOUND RECORDER can do this. Depending upon Vista version, files
will be either WAV or WMA. See HELP & SUPPORT.

If available, configure recording in your sound utilities for "what you
hear."
