Save Streaming Radio?

by VincentJSmith Jan 4, 2008 5:18AM PST

I listen to WXXL online (http://www.wxxl.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st) and want to save that stream as a file, so I can double click on it and it starts streaming in Windows Media Player. Is this possible to do?

Thanks in advance

I've done it with free Audacity from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Not Record

I don't want to record the song playing, I want to save the stream so when I play it in Windows Media Player it actually plays the live stream.

In that case a lot more work.

You'll need to install some streaming server to play back the stream via the file. This will confound 98% of PC owners so I think the AUDACITY suggestion is best.

What's the difference for you ...

between playing a mp3-file from your hard disk in WMP or a live stream from that same hard disk in WMP?
