Low Sound Quality

Most streams off the net are only 96kbps or less if you are using a slower connection. The streams usually do not sound super great, that is what Molly was talking about.

radiolover

the best program i have found to record streams is Radiolover. I use it all the time to record iTunes stations, and it works like a charm. I usually only do stations that are 128kps. It even seperates the songs into individual tracks!
