Stream Recorder 2

Normally, to listen to a song on the Internet, you need to download the entire file onto your hard disk first

— before you can even hear the music.

Internet radio stations can, however, make it more convenient for you to enjoy downloaded music: they

employ “streaming” technology by which music data flows like a “stream” to your audio card directly,

bypassing permanent hard disk storage. Thus, the song starts to play as soon as a portion of its data stream

has arrived at your audio card. The downside of streaming technology was that you could not record the

music onto your hard disk for future reference.

Audio Stream Recorder 2 (ASR2) is designed to overcome this problem by letting you record streaming

audio onto your hard disk as standard MP3 or WMA files.

To use ASR2, select from its predefined list of radio stations to listen to. You can click the red Record

button to start recording music to your hard disk, or use the Schedule feature to program the computer to

record streaming music unattended. You can also use ASR2 to listen to selected radio stations live by

clicking the blue Play button.
