Second that for TotalRecorder.

I believe the unregistered version only allows you to record a couple minutes at a time, though.

If you have certain models of SoundBlaster like the Live and Audigy series, you COULD technically just use the built-in windows Sound Recorder and change the recording device in the audio properties to "What U Hear".

That's a low budget way of doing it. Just make sure you turn off all of your system sounds and IM clients.

The other caveat about TotalRecorder is that it installs its own sound driver which works great within the program, the sound is really lousy when I use Winamp or WMP.

I usually switch back to the "regular" audio drivers when I'm not using TotalRecorder.

I think this merits some experimenting on my side-- I've never tried recording streams from Winamp-- only Real or WMP.
