While running the risk of getting kicked in the balls for saying so here, I use mplayer to do the recording of live radio programmes. mplayer seems to handle live streams better (for me), I see less stream drops and cut outs than using get_iplayer. The command mplayer 'url_of_stream' -dumpstream -dumpfile captured_file_name.aac mplayer 'http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_lc1_radio3_p?s=1317145324&e=1317159724&h=b006a0bc719af9662e473ebc29ae78a6' -dumpstream -dumpfile r3.aac This dumps the 320kbit aac stream into a file called r3.aac To find a radio stream url go to somewhere like http://www.listenlive.eu/uk.html and open the playlist file of the station/format/bitrate in a text editor and just copy and paste it into the above command. (Make sure you surround the url in single ' quotes or the "&'s" will cause you problems.) -Marshall _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
