Record, Encode, Listen
A quick guide to recording Internet radio
There are some pretty good radio shows that I would love to listen to, but I want to listen on my terms. I want a sort of Tivo for the radio, but I don’t want to pay for it. Thanks to cron, mplayer and Lame I can now record, encode and listen when ever I please.
To record with mplayer just replace your stream with the stream you’d like to record:
mplayer -ao pcm -ao pcm:file=yourStream.wav -vc null -vo null http://yourStream
To encode to mp3 use lame:
lame -f yourStream.wav yourStream.mp3 – Fast and low quality
Unfortunately this isn’t the place to learn about cron, but this is.
