StationRipper will allow you to "record" various internet radio stations. It will allow you to get a list of available Shoutcast stations and start recording them, creating a single MP3 file for each song the station plays.

It will also:

Allow you to record up to 300 streams at one time.
"Memory Recording" - It will keep track of all the songs you download, copying the final song file to your music library. If that song gets re-recorded in the future, it will skip it (so, if you end up deleting it, it won&#39;t record, bloating your collection with music you don&#39;t want).
Get a list of Stations to record quickly and easily, via Shoutcast.
Track the music and stations you&#39;ve ripped.
Listen to any station being recorded with a single mouse click
Schedule when you want to allow and disallow recordings, so your bandwidth will only be hit with ripping on off hours.
Re-launch ripping of up to 100 of the last Stations you&#39;ve recorded with a single mouse click.

My personal note : The proggye is similar to AudioStreamer (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=102351) but is free.

as long as the station streams the metadata, the mp3s have ID2 and ID3 tags as well as naming the files properly when written to disk B)

maybe but if you can rip 100 streams at once you can make a pretty good jukebox playlist

Ripping from the radio becomes more main-stream (http://p2pnet.net/story/1270)

Shifting From File Sharing To Stream Ripping? (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20040421/1348258_F.shtml)

Read them 2 articles.


:) I just hope People do not add these to their Album Folders to fill in lets say a Song they are missing.

Just let People know how you got them.

Sorry but the People around here know how us guys from MusicWorld are.We do Albums only.And we like them freshly Ripped.I understand there is alot of Folks out there that would be happy with these Singles.

But this is not looking good for some of us. :(

:o Interesting, but if the quality, is 128, bitrate, sending it out at, lets say 320 bitrate will not increase the original quality.... I think FC has a good point. :)

I used to record radio onto cassette, not anymore since I discovered P2P and filesharing&#33;

I thought the days of hearing crappy DJ&#39;s voiceovers in the into were long gone&#33;&#33; :lol:
