    Hi scoop! thanks for your reply :) il give it a bash and let you know how i get on... What sites do you use for streeming??? i use imeem and groove shark, the sound quality is excelent on groove shark, imeem has a better selection of tracks though.... Only thing about recording off grooveshark is you have to time your recording, u cant rewind to the start, With imeem you can rewind the track to the start and pause it befor you record....

    to be honest with you i haven't recorded any streaming music in probably 3 or 4 years. I used to be really into electronic/trance music, so I would download the live streaming albums from di.fm, but stopped when they lowered the quality of the free streams to 96kpbs. now you have to pay to get higher quality streams, so i haven't done it since

    128 BR is the best you can purchace regular label music on the internet. The free stuff would need to be less. djscoop, I am surprised it is that good but you are a relyable source. 128 sounds too close to HD radio for me to savor. I do listen to HD radio. It takes up the silence and car speakers suck, mine, factory issue, are very poor. So I either need to listen to my ipod or be content with what ever I am forced to listen to. I am too cheap to spend a few hundred bucks for a marginal improvement.

    I probably need a hearing aid and still 128 sounds dead to me. I can't believe anyone would go to the effort to capute less than 100 BR.

    djscoop, good pick! I have never seen an audio capture for free. I confess I have not looked to hard. I have no need of junk music. It would be good for voice, podcasts.

    For normal streams I use vlc in stream capture mode.. for things which run some stupid flash based player I use audacity. Not that streamed internet radio is worth the effort.. like putting n00btube flv video on dvd.. rather pointless exercise.
