Well, if your sound card is capable you can record streaming media. Most of the "SoundBlaster Live!" cards have a "what you hear" feature. To check double click the speaker icon in your task bar (if it's not there you'll need to find the volume control properties in the control panel.) Next, go to options, then properties and click the radio button called "recording." If you see the "What you hear" function or something similar then your sound card is capable. Next you'll need to download a program that'll enable the hardware. I recommend WavePad www.nch.com.au/wavepad They have a basic version and a paid version. The free one works well on recording streaming. You'll have to change the recorders input settings to match your sound card's. Also play around with the file formats. You may want to download a wav to mp3 converter too, to save space on your hard drive. [ ChevyIINova's advice column | Ask ChevyIINova A Question ]
