recording from Real One to CD

[missyusa]

I am new to recording on CD's and was wondering if there is a way to record off the net with real one player? I would like to record
some audio lessons and the website uses real one to play the lessons
or is there another way to record on CD?
Thank you

If you have a Creative sound card, one thing you could do is set the recording input to "What U Hear" and record to a wav file using sound recorder. Then you could burn that wav file to a CD. Just be sure to turn off all of your system sounds and IM sounds first. ;)

I have a program somewhere that will rip most real audio streams to your hard drive called StreamBox VCR, though I don't know if you can get that anymore. Worth a look, though.

wouldnt recording from real player suck because of all the buffering?

It sure wouldn't be regular mp3 quality, but it can serve a purpose.

I used a program called Total Recorder (http://download.com.com/3000-2170-9404618.html?tag=lst-0-1) which does exactly what Missy is looking for.

The one thing I don't like about it is the fact that it takes over all your default audio settings, plus it's kind of goofy to set up.

my point wasnt the quality, it was the breaks real player takes when buffering. you would have to edit out all the silent spots.

I understand the concern about buffering and pauses. This is why recording streams for music is clearly not optimal.

With a broadband connection listening to a site that's not overloaded, it's possible to have a stream that won't get interrupted, or at least won't get interrupted very often.

I've recorded a bunch of online streams with minimal pauses. I have to admit, though, that much of what I've recorded are not music programs-- mostly NPR or OTR shows.

If the lessons Missy is referring to are spoken, this might just do the trick.

Good luck!
