    Any way of recording a sound file off BBC web radio?

    If you click "listen" on the web page here:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/memory/p..._memory3.shtml

    a little window pops up and plays the radio programme.

    Does anyone know of any way to record it, so there's a hard copy on my PC?

    Thanks

    I've used HiDownload to save the streams, but you have to view source on the RadioPlayer windows and work out the program URL from a section of JavaScript and the RealPlayers <embed> tag.

    NetTransport sounds much easier.

    Does Audiocaty just record anything that is sent to your sound card? If so the down side of this is that you are decompressing and the compressing again(depending on how you save the stream.

    With the download tools, it is saving the already-encoded stream so there will be no further loss in quality.

    Couldn't get NetTransport to work, but Audacity works like a charm! Easy to use too.

    Thank you!!!
