hello everyone, I've been helping out a local radio station get set up for live streaming... previously they were streaming via real server (yech!) and I set them up w/ a nice shoutcast stream... the only problem is archiving. in their prior set-up they were running real producer on windows 98 (yech again...). anyways, one thing that's really nice about real producer is that it has a good command line interface. among other things you can: 1) specify what the name of the output file will be 2) specify how long real should encode before disconnecting recently I came across free amp and love it... after doing a lot of research I really think its the best thing out there for ripping / saving live streams. the only problem is that there is no command line for the windows version which makes it difficult to schedule bath jobs to encode things. I was wondering if anybody here would have a good solution for this. So far the only thing that comes to mind is running a batch job which will: 1)change the registry value for where to save the file (I'll have a different directory for each show I archive. unfortunately I cant seem to specify a file name to save it to....) 2)run a command like "freeamp mystation.m3u" with the save stream to disk option on. 3)run a command that renames the saved file to a content specific name (from "KXXX Live Stream.mp3" to "Jacks_show_121200.mp3 for instance) I'm still not sure how I'm going to get it to stop after something like an hour or two goes by (windows 98 doesnt lend itself to killing a process). does anybody have any ideas on how I might be able to hot-rod freeamp to help me w/ archiving? there's really nothing out there that's geared towards creating mp3 archives of live content and I think w/ a little shenagaling freeamp could fill this void nicely. any help greatly appreciated. thanks, e p.s. are there any plans in the works to give the windows client a command line? __________________________________________________ FREE voicemail, email, and fax...all in one place.
