HOWTO record audio streams

Recording audio streams, like your favorite online radio, is a simple thing to do. But first you need to know which application to use. I recomend streamripper. To install it simply type:

sudo apt-get install streamripper

Now create folder in which you want to save your recordings:

mkdir ~/streams

Navigate to that folder and type

streamripper http://url.of.the.online.radio

for example

streamripper http://mp3-vr-128.smgradio.com:80/

will get you music/show playing on Virgin Radio.

Also, you can type

streamripper

to see what options you can use. As I told you, it doesn't get any simpler than that. :)
