T510 - Record Streaming Audio?

I'm trying to set up Audacity to record audio streaming from the net. Their documentation indicates that Thinkpads prevent this due to copyright concerns! (or at least don't have the capability enabled in the driver).

Has anyone found a way to record streaming audio with jumpering the headphone and mic jacks?

Thxs.

 

I'll tell you the honest truth, msot of this is blocked by Windows Vista / Windows 7 on a majority of platforms. The easiest way I've found to do this is to run Audacity under an XP virtual machine.

 

I found freecorder which works ok. I'm going to keep looking.

 

Also used this just fine to capture streaming audio, I had an Ask.com toolbar installed with this software built-in but have since uninstalled due to cornucopia of toolbars.

 

Yeah, most of Windows Vista blocks us to record streaming audio.

 

For streaming radio KM Player does the trick, I've been doing it for ages. Right click -> capture -> audio (or video, etc). Alt-A for a shortcut method. Or did I read your questions wrong?

 

VLC also let's you stream to disk...

 

I got streaming music recorder to record audio, yes, it works properly on windows including vista, windows7, xp etc.

 

Here is another twist to this, I have been trying to find a way to access the WMP's streaming audio cache, but it seems like Windows keeps that hidden deep and keeps overwriting it. I wish there was a way to simply keep the buffer written on disk and then erase it after x amount of days.

This way if you are listening to online radio and if there is something you like you can go back to the buffer storage and keep what you like. There was this speech on radio the other day, and I really wish I could just keep it, but it was too late. I use WMP daily, and other apps would be cumbersome since most of them are not compatible with the radios I listen to.

Otherwise, VLC works best for starting to record before you listen to radio.
