I want (need) to record an internet transmission of a certain concert
next sunday.
I can receive the 'sender' and listen to it using vlc no problem.
However, i cannot find how to save the stream to a file (eventually for
burning). A big ptoblem is that the interface of vlc is completely
different from the interface presented in the documentation.
My system: AMD Phenom II (4-core) 4Gb mem. Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic).
I have ample space to record (>1 Tb).
Can anybody give me directions how to record this stream which has the
following specs:
Codec wma2; channels stereo; sample rate 48000 Hz; 16 bits.
It is sufficient to burn it later to a CD.

What I used to do earlier in the decade, was run shoutcast as a proxy. I had it set up to
only connect upstream when I connected to it from downstream. I'd start up an mplayer
pointing at my shoutcast, and listen happily (mplayer being my main media player).
If I liked a song, I had written a script that just netcat'ed from that same port on
my shoutcast, and dumped it to disk, then wget'ted and perl/awk/sed scraped from the
streaming station's webpage the name and artist of the song, and renamed the file to
that. Done.
It reminded me of my junior-high-school days of listening to the radio connected to a
1/4" reel-to-reel player running at 1-3/4 ips, idling in pause mode, and kicking the
transport out of pause mode as soon as a song came on that I wanted to tape.
C-30, C-60, C-90, go!
