Radio! AKICOLJ

[nineveh_uk]

Say that I want to listen to something on iPlayer. I can download it, and it will stay on my computer for a period of time before vanishing forever. But say that I want to keep it permanently. There is a radio-cassette player behind me, so I could use that, but I know that it can be done with the computer - but how?

Will point T at this post, but we are out and about today so probably won't get to it until tomorrow.

Afraid I can only echo what other people have said, there's no easy way round it any more. I also used to use Net Transport to download directly, but the BBC changed the streaming format, so as far as I know, the only way now is to record in real time (I use paid for software but Google will throw up any number of free solutions like Audacity). I'd also recommend Wavepad for converting file formats, if necessary, as well as editing.

You can still use Net Transport to download if you use the links to each program provided at www.beebotron.org. But what you'll be downloading now is a Windows Media Player file rather than real audio. I tried it yesterday and it still works.

Thanks, didn't realise that was the case!
