A440 Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Get TotalRecoder ($11.95 US) and it will intercept and record whatever is playing through your soundcard. It makes .wav files that Sonicstage can download to your MD.You can also try the free version of Stepvoice (the freeware version) from this page, and see if it will record the RealAudio as mp3. Change its default bitrate to at least 128 kbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeuk Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 have aread of this thread :-http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=197895In short -Use NetTransport (http://www.xi-soft.com/default.htm) to download the bbc listen again programme - generally using 10 threads it'll do a 30min programme in 3 mins. The programme will be a real audio file (ra)Use Streamripper which is part of the beta version of Streambox VCR to do a batch convert from ra to wav (use the auto settings)Read this on converting ra to mp3/wav :-http://www.area450.com/softwaremods/ra2mp3-1.htmlA finally use Sonicstage to put the WAV's onto your MDNet recorder, it should convert to atrac with no problems - but this final part is frustratingly slow, probable due to Sony's crap software - anyone know a better way of doing this final part?I'm currently testing converting ra to mp3 and then using sony's mp3 conversion tool to omg (http://sonyelectronics.sonystyle.com/walkmanmc/mp3.html) to see if it is any quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerodB Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Probably better to go from Real Media -> WAV -> OpenMG (ATRAC3/+), rather than Real Media -> MP3 ... etc...The extra step will result in a futher quality loss. I know it's only Web radio - the quality may not be top notch to begin with, but SonicStage has to decode from MP3 to WAV anyway before encoding in OpenMG format.

hanyanghy Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Use Cool Edit Pro 2.0 to record radio to one of the format of WAV, MP3......, then transfer to your NetMD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxigenicpoem Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) I agree, I would recommend CoolEdit 2k. You can get it from my website. The Direct Download link is included in a little article I wrote about copying Flash Juke Box music.http://www.b3studios.net/?p=3 Edited May 10, 2005 by toxigenicpoem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadeclaw Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Well, that page on b3studios.net points to a crack to circumvent the registration for CoolEdit.And that is illegal in the US and many other countries.@toxigenicpoem: I suggest, that you change that page accordingly and point to Audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/?lang=en ) instead.Audacity is free and can be freely distributed, as it is GPL-software.@zeroDB: Yes, you have to pay for CoolEdit, as it is commercial software.Btw, CoolEdit2k is old, the new version is called Adobe Audition and can be found at Adobe.com .

toxigenicpoem Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) Correction, my PAGE DOES NOT point to a crack. My site lists a 3rd party site of where the crack can be found, and this IS NOT ILLEGAL. I violated NO forum rules, and did NOT link to ANYTHING ILLEGAL, my CENSORED post DID NOT CONTAIN A LINK TO ANYTHING ILLEGAL, I simply ansewered the question as it was asked. I posted a link to MY website, where there is a TUTORIAL, on Recording LIVE INPUTS, I used COOLEDIT2K, because IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE REGISTERED TO BE USED. The TRIAL IS NOT A TIME DELAY. From with in this TUTORIAL, there is a paragraph that reads"You can also head over to http://www.cracks.am to download and crack this to the full version. But is not needed, and obviously NOT recommended."If it was illegal to link to another site, then google would have been in the slammer a LONG time ago.Please read all information before flaming me next time, thank you.@jadeclaw: Thank you, I will look into substituting this program into my tutorial.

Ishiyoshi Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Don't get over excited here. No one cares to flame you. Regardless your interpretation and claims, we feel that the link leads to a site which obviously contains utilities that constitute illegal distribution of software. Thus, it’s against forum rules.Yes, you are indeed trying to answer zerobB's query; however, you could simply say COOLEDIT 2000 is not free and refer all participants within this thread to its legitimate site.

toxigenicpoem Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) Point taken, although I do find it funny that it is openly discussed in this forum to be bootlegging artist audio, the topic even states 'stealth' recording... I'm just looking to be treated fairly in the forum, thats all, and I'm finished on this topic.http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=10038Definition quoted from WikipediaBootleg albums can also be recorded "unofficially" with gear smuggled into a live concert—virtually all artists and live venues prohibit such recording, but modern portable technology has made it increasingly easy to do.

(I'd like to add 'just kidding!!' before the flames rise up again)p.s.: I actually do believe I came across quite some warnings about 'tricks and advice on MDCF not being intended to record copywritten material' when first looking for recording info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No flames rising Volta, I just simply wanted to say there is more 'grey' area around, but it looks like some gets ignored.←I guess I agree with their reaction to keep MDCF away from the software hacks&cracks route... but then again I also think there could (should) be some sort of 'recording copywritten sounds' disclaimer among the 'live recording' stickies just to be on the safe side (something similar was brought up by Ozpeter and Dex @ the time of the 'live recording gallery'-opening, but hasn't been installed yet I believe...)

toxigenicpoem Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) I agree, warez are a good thing to moderate on a forum, and as a moderator my self, I understand the moderators lay down the law, no problem with that.. However I didn't directly discuss, nor did I directly link to, nor does my site directly discuss how to or directly link to software, dealing with cracking software. This thread directly discusses bootlegging audio. Edited May 12, 2005 by toxigenicpoem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 ok, we've continued this thread long enough now... so just remember kids: let's all stay on the right side of the law (and use audacity to record webradio, or is this a very stupid idea? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerodB Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 We should all keep in mind, that being Minidisc users, we may all be in breach of copyright regulations in one form or another.Under Australia's foggy copyright laws, for example, it is illegal to record TV onto a home VCR/DVD recorder - however no one questions the illegitimacy of such devices being sold commercially.It's the same for bootlegging - however I know that a lot of bands/artists will permit you to record their gigs as long as it is solely for personal use - ie. you don't distribute your recordings freely, or for profit. In some countries, bootlegging may be legal - it's just that bands frown upon it, and venues usually have their own policies against it - hence the need for "stealth recording" - although you may not be doing anything blatantly illegitimate, no-one wants to have their expensive MD gear taken off them.@ Low Volta - seriouslly, similar arguments for and against could be applied to recording Web radio.However, cracks are a different matter. And toxic - your point about google is silly. Google is merley a search engine - you can search for anything you want in there - software cracks, hacking tools, illict pornography - anything you want. It's the end user that types in the search. Encouraging or linking to cracks on your blog is not really a good idea, but it's your free choice. Not trying to start a flame war, but it's just my $0.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
