recording streaming audio

Asked by ahnonpeutetre

Is there a way to record audio streaming, on the fly, and afterwards keep only some of the tracks?
I am listening to some radio stations. When I hear a nice track, I would like to keep it and listen again to it, the next day, week, month... or share it with a friend ... but I can't.

Would it be envisageable to add such a function (if it is not there yet) ?

Warmest regards to all of you

Yes you can use VLC media player for Ubuntu Linux. It will capture and save to a file audio.
The url for it. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html and the faq on how to do this

There are scripts to include the application streamripper in amarok:

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

Partly solved.
I could launch streamripagent, messages telling me track X is ripped et
/home/MyName/streamripagent/Author-Track...
and also messages telling me when track is finished.

But when I go to the directory in question, there is no file at all...

Where have they gone?

I believe I am close to the solution ... but it is not yet fully
operational.

Thanks again for your help.

Warmest regards.

OK. It works.

Don't forget to fill the settings.

File /home/MyDirectory/.streamripagent

and copy

#!/bin/bash
TARGET_DIR="$HOME/streamripagent"
INTERVAL=1
WAIT_AFTER_TITLE_CHANGED=5
KDIALOG_ENABLE="true"

to it

Save the file.
Lauch streamripagent.

That's it.

Regards
