Best Program for Ripping Streamed Audio?

Message Bookmarked

Does anyone have any advice on what software is the best for ripping streamed audio (i.e. online radio) to disk? I am willing to purchase the software and have looked at Ripcast and Replay Music 2 thus far but am hesitant to purchase anything before being sure it is the best fit for me. Thank you for your help.

sixteen years pass...

How can I rip audio from mp3 files that are set up as listen-only? Seems like there should be a way to do this.

Low-tech answer: if your computer is older and has both audio in and out (headphone jack) ports, you can run a cord between the two, and record and edit using any kind of digital music software.

You should just be able to use Audacity and record whatever sound is playing on the computer (that's what I do for YouTube).

Soundflower will route system audio to a virtual input for recording.

What are the files you are trying to grab?

if you are using a pc you need to enable "stereo mix" as a sound source, Windows keeps disabling it every time there's a big update.

then it's just a matter of opening any music editor, choosing "stereo mix" instead of a microphone, and starting the streamed audio playing / pressing record.
