Any plugins for recording net radio in MCE ?

Would save me having to go to other PC, fire up my wav editor, record with that and export as an mp3.
Perhaps someone has created a sound recorder plugin for MCE. Maybe it already does it lol

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

I'm not aware of anything that works within MCE itsels, but hands down the best net radio recorder is Replay AV. I've been using it since version 6 (when it was Replay Radio). In the current version (8), it records the native stream (so an asx stream results in an asf file).

Thx very much Justin.
I can't seem to get enough of sky.fm and di.fm and recording is the cheapest way to get those stations in my car lol

Downloading demo now, cheers

No problem.

The only streams I have problems with are the Austereo streams (TripleM, 2Day, etc.). I've lodged the fault with Applian (Replay) & we're both trying to find a solution. Basically what happens is that only 2/3 of the stream gets recorded (results in a jerky playback that's unlistenable). I'm not sure if it's some sort of tricky DRM, but I have been able to record it with another program - Webstream recorder pro. It's not as friendly.

With Replay AV, you'll need to take a little time to become familiar with it, but when you do it's very easy. If you can find the actual address of the stream (often masked when playing through a browser) then you should be able to record it. Replay has a sniffer that you can use to find the addresses if you can't see them.

Best of luck! PM me if you need any specific info & I'll help if I can.

Works a treat, good that it can do the transcoding too.
Time to save some $$$$
Thanks very much.
