Record The Live Streaming Muzic

If you are one of those who like to listen music online (streaming audios) but hate the fact that you cannot download that music, then this article is for you. The process is simple, it just requires the website (obviously) like http://www.hott93.com/ or www.live365.com, a web browser like Firefox or IE and finally a software that will record the live streaming music and save it to hard disk.

'Freecorder' is one of these software that can be found on www.freecorder.com. Just download and install the software (its FREE) and you are all set to record your music. During the installation, install it on both the browsers (if you have) and it also asks to set 'freecorder' as default search engine (I prefer Google hence did not go for this option). After installation, it will open up a survey page...fill it if you have time and press "Continue" else click on "Quick Start". Near the address bar in the browser, you can now see the Recorder Toolbar, with buttons like Start, Stop, Record, its search bar, etc.

Now make a dash for your favorite website. Once you have selected your station and pressed the play button on the webpage, click on the record button the toolbar. A small window will open and show some wave kinda thing.It will look something like the image on the left, if its recording.


If you do not see any kind of wave. then you need to change the settings. Open the settings (click on the "Settings" button in the toolbar) and select the option "Record from freecorder input audio driver" (I selected all the 3 options). In this window, you can also specify where do you want to save the file and in which format. Try it again after changing the settings if it did not work out the first time.


To listen to what you have just recorded, press the stop button on the recorder and then press the play button in the freecorder toolbar. It will take you to the directory where your recording was saved. Double click and listen to the song you just recorded.
