806662 2009-09-03 12:09:00 ok, i know this is kinda sneaky but it is also way cool.
Every year I listen to 'The Rock' top 1000 countdown. I also listen to 'The Rock' at work online. I have a TV card with FM input (that I haven't ever used/set up)

But, I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool to record the (remaining) songs and then put them to a CD so I could listen to them in my car/at work/at a party etc? remove the ads and it is an eclectic mix of songs...

Any ideas how to do this?

806663 2009-09-03 13:21:00 Are you gonna sit there and edit out all the ads etc?? :stare: CYaBro (73)
806664 2009-09-03 16:21:00 Yes! I have listened to this top 1000 for a few years and thought why don't they do like triple-J and do a CD? But anyway, yes I would sit back and edit the ads (keep the funnies - sometimes the funnies are better than the music) and make myself a good set of CDs that I could take to a party or just play in the car...and I guess Shihad is gonna pull #1 again this year? hope so...it makes you feel like a kiwi when they do. toonttm (14853)
806665 2009-09-03 23:17:00 Contact the radio station - Ask if they can produce a music only medium, or whereabouts they got their music. Music is cheap to buy from legit services - e.g. lala com (www.lala.com/) (mp3's and free streams and reviewed here (http:)), iTunes, and perhaps Amazon.

It will take hours to edit out background ads - then cannot guarantee a reproducible sound. Sometimes requires multi passing for unwanted segments, applying reverb, amplitude and bass boost, etc. I use to have NZ radio music on CD's, but can't recall where I got them.

806667 2009-09-04 21:02:00 We get a lot of streaming radio and such here in the US at 2-channel/256kb and I collect them on Audacity, send them into a file marked: MP3s HERE and then insert them into WMP for playback .

If I want to burn a CD of them in MP3 or . wma I just do so from either WMP or Nero .

It's easy and here it's still legal to do so .

Be advised that in Upsidedown Land, it may NOT be so .

I can record a whole day of steams and edit them later . I have collected and amp'ed and edited a large number of cuts that way . You can see the breaks in the music on the Audacity screen and it's easy to divide and conquer, so to speak .
