Software for ripping streaming audio?

[Bonce]

I would like to be able to record a stream of audio (ASF or possibly M3U) to disk so that I can listen to it without having to stream it every time.

Is this possible? Any tips please? Cheers

If you're using Windows, there must come an audio recorder with the it. Create a new (*.wav)file, set the (o/s)-mixer to record the channel with the streaming audio, and record into that new file.

I'm not able to reproduce it here, but I'm sure anyone else could give a better explanation of the commands

Thanks Bodo but Windows sound recorder is a pain in the arse, and I'd like to record to MP3 rather than WAV as I only have limited disk space. Are there any software tools to make the whole job easy?

I think this is the sort of thing you're looking for.

With Advanced MP3/WMA Recorder you can make a complete sound recorder studio of your computer. With Advanced MP3/WMA Recorder you can record sound from microphone, streaming audio from the Internet, or music played by Winamp, Windows Media Player, Quick Time, Real Player, Power DVD, Flash, games.
