283701 2004-10-22 20:39:00 I Have a Gigabyte 915 P motherboard with on board sound. I purposely did not bother to get a cheap stad alone soundcard as the intergrated sound seemed to be just as good. However now I find that if I want to rip streaming audio from the net using audiograber, it comes back with the message windows is not sending any sound, change source. Any help would be appreciated.

283703 2004-10-22 22:13:00 It isn't actually "ripping", as in ripping a CD, It's a question of re-encoding the audio data stream into the format you require. Any net-congestion, hiccups etc will be captured as well.

I only re-encode in Real Audio, and use Real Encoder 5.1 which is now obsolete and takes a bit of finding. The current version is called Real Producer I believe.

But I expect Google would turn up lots of alternatives if you type audio encoders in the search box.

I also used to use Yamaha VQF encoder but thats obsolete too now.

I realize that mention of Real Audio can have that effect on some people, so grab hold of this photo of a paper bag (sal.neoburn.net) young Bluebottle, you may need it.

283707 2004-10-23 02:29:00 This site has lots of programs:

www.handyarchive.com

The second one down Audio Recorder Pro looks interesting. May have a look at that myself.

Many encoding programs are intended to put streaming audio onto your website.
The Real Encoder and Real Producer are intended for that purpose, but can be used also just to capture sound and encode it without actually uploading to a website. So the disadvantage of Real is there maybe a lot of unused baggage in the program if used only for encoding.

283708 2004-10-23 21:41:00 Audacity (free) will record/edit but not save in mp3 (you have to use Lame or some other tool). CoolEdit will do the lot but it's not free. Valerie (4740)
283709 2004-10-25 03:39:00 Thanks Terry and Val. It's labour weekend so I've been a bit busy. I already have audacity but was to lazy to work out how to use it properly and add all the plugins, but I'll do this over the next week. I've already downloaded and installed the one Terry mentioned, and played around with it for about an hour, and could'nt get it to do what I wanted, however I think this is more down to me being a novice, I'll continue with this also and post my reults back. I'll have to do it quickly as it is a 14 day trial. Bill P (1660)
283710 2004-10-25 04:12:00 Grab VideoLAN Client from http://www.videolan.org and use it to save the stream to HDD.

I did it with streaming .wma files - Start the dump, and then just play the local file in the likes of WinAmp (VLC wouldnt play the file as it dumped it for me).


Chill.
