hi there does anyone know of a FREE program that will record radio (on xp o/s) from the internet that doesnt need your speakers to be turned up/on ?.
thanks in advance for any help/advice offerd
Discussion is locked
Every program that works with speakers ON, should work with the speakers OFF also. That's because the PC doesn't know the power state of the speaker.
I used Audacity.

iv tried audacity/freecord and mp3mymp3 all need the speakers on to record (apart from freecord that just caused major crashes on my laptop so i dont know) i tried turning the speakers off and all i got was a blank recording which was a shame as audacity looked very impressive .
thanks for the reply ill keep looking i guess
I find some folk that pass it up a bit too quickly without research about the issue you noted. Check out the audacity forums about how to select the audio source and other things.

the only info/advice i can find is on how to set it up so it records what comes out of the speakers this seems to include any noises made by other programes etc

No it is not internet radio and re-reading your post, yes, ANY AND ALL SUCH RECORDERS do record all the sounds from the PC.
I fear we'll have to discuss why that is. But it is deeply entrenched into how Windows audio works.
Bob
I meant the power button on the (amplified) speakers. Audacity can't see if that is on or off.
But routing the sound to a headphone you don't listen to has nearly the same effect.
