How to record audio being played by PC?
Posted by siliconpiNOSPAM@hotpop.com on February 11th, 2006



Hi,

I have some audio being played by an application and I want to
digitally record that on the same PC. How can I do that?

For example, if winamp is playing some songs thru internet radio and I
want to record part of that - what freeware software can I utilize to
do so? I believe I have a SoundMAX audio component integrated into my
motherboard.

Thanks.

The program playing the digital audio has to have the capability of actually
recording the streaming audio or you cannot do it.

Hi,

I've downloaded the program xmplay, but cant figure out how to get it
to record... it has a very unusual interface - difficult to figure out.

I tried another program "Audio MP3 Sound Recorder" - but that seems to
record from the microphone (whatever that is picking up).

Tried: "Mp3 My MP3 Recorder 2.0" - works brilliantly!

This worked for me: Connect the 'line out' to the 'line in' usign a audio
jumper cable (a 2.5mm male-to-male on my audio card). As long as your
hardware doesn't get feedback- it works. At least it does for me One
drawback is that I have to use different applications at the same time: one
to play the audio while one is used to record that same audio.

Goodluck !

If your Recodring Mixer has a "What U Hear" input (Creative hardware),
or a Wave Out Mix input (Analog Devices hardware) if you select it
you can simultaneously listen to and re-digitize back to your hard disk
with Audacity or some other wave editing app.

Involves a (unhearable) analog step, but saves the hassle of the
spyware-ridden stream recorders (the lat couple I tried had nasties
embedded in them that had to be removed).

Beware that EVERYTHING you hear from your speakers will
get recorded this way, sounds from clicking links in IE, BONG
error dialogs popping up, etc.
