Recording Audio from a website?



Is it possible to record Music that is played on a website? If so How?

For example some sites play music when you are visiting them , Im wondering if its possible to grab the music played.

I use Windows Vista.

one way to do it is just take a mini-rca cable and run it from your speaker out to speaker in on your motherboard/soundcard. Then you can simply use windows sound recorder or any other freeware program to capture the music.

If you are using Firefox there are multiple add-ons that can be installed that let you snag media from websites, but their results will greatly depend on how the media is coded into the website (i.e. if it is embedded within a java app, it probably wont be seen as a downloadable media source by the add-on).

You can use audioacity to record anything thats going on with the comp.

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/late...-win-1.2.6.exe

Just install it and hit the record button (should default to "What You Hear"). Its a pretty simple program to use. Good editing program for starting off to!

Audacity has the capability for quality much higher than anything you will be listening to online. One word of caution, though. Turn off your IM programs (or at least their noises) because it captures all sound that goes through your sound card. This is a great way of getting sounds that are embedded and otherwise unobtainable. The downside is it is merely recording them in real time. An add-on like I mentioned earlier has its drawbacks, but for the media it can access, it will download the file as fast as your internet will allow it.

Download Audacity from SourceForge.net

I have Audacity, yet whenever I hit the record button, the playback is silent. It records no sound.
Any help on how to fix that?
