What do I need?

by Wadda Dec 5, 2005 8:54PM PST

What do I need? I now believe I am going about it the wrong way. I want to record from fm radio and then burn the results to CDs preferably with mp3 format. I am totally ignorant to what would best help me? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Wadda

Tough call

Man... FM radio, huh? Well, I know that there is software out there to capture streaming content online, but have not heard of anything specifically to record FM stuff. I imagine you'd have to record it on cassette tape and then port that into a digital recorder or something. Are you sure there is no way to get the content digitally?

Maybe

I believe that most radio stations stream online. Atleast in NY they do. There are programs out there that will capture streams. See if the radio station that you are trying to record from streams online. Just go to their website. If they do then there are alot of programs that help you capture the streams and put it into mp3 format. I'm sorry I can't give you names of programs cause I've never used a good one. Some one out there has though.

What

Almost every mp3player has fm radio (except ipod, some archos), and ALL of them can record them, most in mp3 formats

what you could do...

most don't record in MP3, they record in .WAV

the iAudio X5 is no exception, but the bundled JetShell software can convert .WAV files to MP3 files. hope this helps
