Can somebody recommend software for capturing RealAudio streams (such as Thursday Teatimes) for burning to CD/DVD? Thanks a lot & remember "Don't Leave Earth Without One" John Wintemute
Well, what I do is to play the real audio stream whilst simultaneously recording with a program such as Cool Edit 2000. Then, when it's finished, save as WAV, and then burn to CD-R. There are other programs out there that doe the same thing (Soundforge?), and others that grab the audio stream and save it as a RA file - you then require a RA --> WAV converter, and then the same thing - burn to CD-R. Other people might be able to help you on the names of said programs, and links as to where you can download it ;) Hope this helps, Nick ;-)

I haven't found anything decent to do a straight-up unattended ra-wav conversion. You?

Some obstacle I haven't worked out yet, but would like some feed back on: 1. when you record the stream and then save as a wav, do you end up spanning cds? If so, how? 2. I haven't had ably luck using SoundForge to open up ra files, but it appears to save them as such.

I had some luck using SoundForge XP (I think its version 5.0) If you are wanting to burn to cd, then using the RA2WAV util that Nick King sent a link to works well -- http://www.wiredvideo.com/tools/. I'm going to compile a list of tools that I use and put them up on my web for all to download later tonight. That link above has some great resources for what you're probably trying to do...

Streambox Ripper is a later version of RA2WAV; it is a *lot* more stable, and easier to use). Chris
Thanks for the info. Installed and successfully converted the Jan 30 show to mp3 with no **apparent** degradation to sound quality. Since I'll be listening to this at work and in the car, I wont be listening that closely anyway. But I get to listen to this in my car. Ah, yeah. We stole dead fish, man. We stole dead fish!

I use Streambox VCR and/or Total Recorder. Streambox is great for just downloading the realaudio file, but total recorder will grab any audio stream, regardless of how hard the site tries to keep you from doing so.

There you go - that's the names of the software I was thinking of! ;->

I use Total Recorder also. The newest version has added scheduling capabilities, so you can set it & not worry about recording 8 hours of nonsense. You can also record to either WAV, MP3, or Ogg Vorbis. There's also Metaproducts' Offline Explorer, which grabs a copy of the RM file. I've used it for the trial period & it worked great.
This site should contain all the links you need... http://www.wiredvideo.com/tools/ Enjoy! Nick ;-)

The "trial period" can be fooled by changing your system date. I like the program, but I'm not going to pay $35 or $50 dollars for something that is (for me) a one-trick pony. Hell, I'd gladly pay Groovetech a reasonable (like $1 per hour) fee for an easily downloadable stream, but they don't seem to be heading that way. The rest of what I do is use Streambox Ripper to covert to .wav (if you don't have access to professional software, it is one of the few ways to directly convert an .ra file to anything else). Then I use Soundforge to slice it into CD-sized chunks in appropriate places (at song transitions), and to figure out if I want any particular track breaks. Then I burn it to CD (using cue sheets and CDRWin). The whole mess takes a couple of hours, from dowloading the RA file to burning 3 CDs. Chris np: David Gray - Dublin 12-22-99

Forgot to mention. Windows doesn't like single files much over 2GB (have they addressed this yet? The last time I hit it (last year), I was still running W98). That means a "redbook" wave over about 3:16:00 long will not work. There have only been a few shows over that length, though. Chris

Yeah, that won't be an issue in an NT based operating system using NTFS. The 2GB limitation has to do with fat32.
