Vanity Tech Q: Is there a way to save downloaded audio?

Is there a way (via some available sftware, perhaps) to save a Realauidio or Windows Media Player file so that it could be replayed from one's PC or burned to a CD?

I like to listen to Rush on his 24/7 site, and to some football games, but wish I could download and save these programs, burn a mini CD and then listen while working in the yard. Can this be done?

Thanks all for your helpful contributions.

right click, save to your desktop, and then burn

I have a feeling Rush's site will not give you access to the file. You might be able to access it by turning off javascript in your browser, or using another OS.

If you want to download streaming audio look for an mp3 recorder on Google.

You can try This one.

I could tell ya...but then I'd have to kill ya!

Actually there's a very nice software called Absolute Mp3 Recorder that will let you save anything that plays through the speakers. Even if "save as" on right click is not available. And it's free!

If you're on a Macintosh, I don't think you could find one better than Audio Hijack Pro - it'll record from inputs, convert from discs, intercept streaming audio, and save it to files. I just bought it (cheap: US$32) to save streaming files. It also will process audio and has a queueing feature to capture different times/streams.

The (unregistered) demo mode records 10 minutes then introduces hiss into the files BUT is retriggerable: you can capture short clips in their entirety.

I use a piece of freeware called Audacity.

It will capture whatever sound comes through your sound card. You can save it in a file for later use.

A nice alternative is to listen to streaming audio on a 900 mhz cordless headset; mine signals well into my backyard. Best wishes.
