Streaming media is taking the Internet over - online radio,
news, digital videos, podcasts, webcasts are just going to grow.
Find out what tools you need to capture streaming audio and
video so you can replay it later.
CoCSoft Stream Down (CoCSoft)
Like the proverbial hedgehog, CoCSoft Stream Down knows one
thing well: in this case, how to capture streaming-media files
and save them to disk. Just enter the URL of a streaming-media
file and the program stores the content in the directory of your
choice. In addition to FTP and HTTP, CoCSoft Stream Down can
handle several streaming protocols: RTSP, MMS, MMSU, and MMST.
It comes in handy during peak Internet usage times, when
streaming files don't play well. You can download them, and play
them later. If you don't know the file name, you can easily copy
and paste it into Streamdown using the Windows "File Properties"
command.
WM Recorder (Applain)
WM Recorder is a fairly straightforward way to capture streaming
Windows Media Video or Audio content to a file on your PC. It's
just what the doctor ordered for music videos, news feeds,
streaming music, radio broadcasts, adult and subscription
content, corporate webcasts, and anything else that streams down
onto your PC. WM Recorder is also brainlessly simple. Simply
open WM Recorder, click Record, and play the video or audio you
want to capture. Files are saved on your PC automatically, so
you can watch or listen anytime, even without an internet
connection.
AudioStreamer (R.M. de Boer Software)
AudioStreamer is the Internet radio receiver and recorder that
lets you enjoy the thousands of radio stations available on the
Internet. While listening to your favorite radio station, you
can record any radio station you want, anytime. The recording
library shows you all your recordings, sorted by Genre or Radio
station. If there's any artist name available while recording,
it will be saved into the MP3 Tag automatically. You can also
rename file(s), change or view MP3 Tag info for every file, or
play the files you recorded earlier as well as add your favorite
station to the Favorites list, or add a new station you found on
the Internet. If necessary, the program will burn mp3 files onto
a CD.
Cybercorder 2000 (SkyHawk Technologies)
Cybercorder provides VCR-like recording for radio shows or any
audio input. Recordings are stored on disk as WAV or MP3 files
with optional audio compression to save disk space. Recordings
can easily be played back by selecting the recording from the
list of completed recordings. The customizable playback window
allows users to easily advance the recording forward and reverse
various step sizes. The thing that makes this software very
different is the fact that you can schedule as many recordings
as you like or instantly start a recording for the specified
amount of time. The scheduled recordings can be scheduled for a
single time or for selected days of the week such as Mon-Fri
9AM. Program descriptions can be given to the scheduled
recordings to later identify the recordings.
