record it via winamp without having to use Nero...

use the Diskwriter Plugin...

Winamp > Options > Preferences > Plugins > Output > Select Nullsoft Disk Writer plug-in (out_disk.dll) > Configure > Choose your output directory and file format > Close > play the stream > go to the directory you chose > do what you will with the file...

Hi,

I did follow the exact steps but it keeps coming back and asking if I want to overwrite over and over? The message keeps coming up when I press OK.
Any idea what I did wrong?

Thanks much.

Hi,

I go to shoutcast.com and I chose any link. It does not matter which. If I go back to the default direct sound output it will play all stations that I chose.

For example Classical Music the 1st listed will play every time however when I switch to nullsoft disk writer it keep asking the question to overwrite again and again when click OK.

Thanks.

have you played around with the Disk Writer settings at all? change directory, change output file format, etc?

what version of Winamp/Disk Writer are you using? 2,3 or 5? have you updated to the latest winamp which should also update the plugin appropriately?

Hi,

I did play with all settings, I do have the latest version.

Now I get message "sorry, can't disk write stream"

No idea what it means.

Thanks.

ahh, i just tried a shoutcast stream and apparently winamp (read: AOLTW) has disabled the ability to write these particular streams to disk using the plugin...

looks like you'll have to find some other way (probably convoluted since winamp/shoutcast is an AOLTW property and has implemented typical rights mgmt strategies on their streams)...

i know i've saved a stream with my method before but it wasn't from shoutcast...

sorry 'bout that...perhaps someone else here has a suggestion...

Try using Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about/ to record programs as wav or mp3

Open the Nero wave editor, under the heading "audio" at the top, you will see an option to record, then you can record the stream through your sound card.

Try winamp plugin named streamripper for me it works superbly. Look for it on Google. You won't find it on the winamp site

StreamRipper for Winamp only works properly if the station you are recording allows a gap between the music tracks it plays.

StreamRipper cannot cope with a station that cross-fades between tracks, as the program depends upon detecting the presence of the silence between tracks to determine where to end one track and start the next. You end up with the tracks starting and ending too soon or too late.

A better solution in that event is to use StationRipper instead, as it makes a continuous recording of the station, leaving it up to you to edit the file later, so you get to choose for yourself where to have each track begin and end.

It also records the metadata (artist, song title) in a seperate file so that you have those details when you do the editing.

AFAIK the Winamp plugin OUT_DISK.DLL has never allowed you to disk write streams (i.e. save broadcast streams to disk), and I have recently tried out many versions of that DLL going right back to Winamp 2.0, though if anyone here knows better I should be delighted to learn how to do it!

As a workaround, you can get a Winamp plugin called Output Stacker (out_stacker.dll) for your Winamp\Plugins folder that lets you load TWO output plugins at once, i.e. in a stack.

The first one feeds its output to the second. So if you load OUT_WAVE.DLL first, followed by OUT_DISK.DLL, the output of OUT_WAVE feeds into the input of OUT_DISK, and because OUT_DISK is not being fed by an internet stream it happily records the input it's getting.

If you load them into the Output Stacker in the wrong order, this won't work! OUT_WAVE *must* be loaded before OUT_DISK!!!

The Output Stacker I use (running Winamp v5.06 under Windows ME) is called Dietmar's Output Stacker v0.8 but I gather there are other output stackers for Winamp also available. Google it - as needless to say you won't find it on the Winamp site!
