How can I download or record streaming audio

(1/5) > >>

patteo:
I was listening to an audio stream and depending on the internet connection, it can be a bit staccato and listening to the entire message can take much longer than it really is.

I remembered that I was able to record somehow download the streaming audio, but I just cannot remember how I did it previously, perhaps through some Firefox extension ?

Does anyone know how I can do this ?

A freeware method is preferred.

I was quite sure that the last time I recorded, it was downloaded or recorded in mp3.

Thanks

Do you mind sharing the URL where this audio stream can be listened to? so I can try out few Firefox add-ons that I have installed.

patteo,

I've been having pretty good success with a Firefox add-on, DownloadHelper, for both music and video streams.  You can find it at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006.  It seems to be in active development, last update 2009-08-18, current version 4.6.2.

The extension is free, but there is a pay-for conversion mode to change format during the download ... have not tried that, as yet.  Been pulling down stuff from last.fm with another extension, Fire.fm, v1-2-5, from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7684

Might be worth a try to see if it'll do what you wish.  Tried it because I was having the same problem, jerky sound during play.

barney:
Quick edit.

Fire.fm just lets me play music from last.fm from a Firefox toolbar ... DownloadHelper is the piece that actually does the download.

You can try Screamer Radio.
