Taping the BBC documentary

Is anyone planning on recording the special on the band airing this and next weekends on the bbc2? my radio is in america and i don't think it can pick up the signal. i for one would love a recording if anyone does. i've got boatloads of live stuff for trade.

thanks

I'd like a copy as well if anyone is recording it - same as Robin, loads of stuff for trade !

My cousin is going to mini-disc it which will then eventually find it's way onto CD.

It won't be a particularly quick turnaround (as we don't see our mate with the MD to CD capabilities very often) but if you're prepared to wait a bit...

You can listen to it via the Net. Instructions on the homepage...

I am pretty sure marcello from Brazil will record it.

I wanna know which programme I should use to record that

It's also archived for a week afterwards, so even if you miss it first time round (and I will, as I'm out both Saturdays), you can then relisten to it.

As for recording it, I usually use CoolEdit, recording in real time, and then save as a WAV file, little bit of editing, and then burn to a CD/convert to MP3/etc.

l8rs,

Nick :)

whoops. unfortunately i'm still on a dial-up modem, so streaming audio isn't very pleasuable. plus whatever compression tool that most radio stations use make webcasts sound like shit to my ears.

Yeah, gonna be taping both shows on humble cassette, but I've got a mate who I can ask to record it onto MD, which I can (hopefully) then bung onto CD-R. Will keep you posted...

Originally posted by Spotnick I have Streambox VCR that can download the stream from the BBC directly.This assumes there isn't any congestion, so taping the actual radio would be safer...Funny, I've never heard any documentary on the RADIO before.. always been TV, it must be.. special.

Hi Nicos

Can you send me via e-mail some instructions for how to deal this programme ?

Thanks

I will record it with total recorder as an mpeg file! max. is 56kbps. Test it with the programm now on radio 2, really good quality!

Streambox vcr: try it here (download link): http://www.pctip.ch/library/downloads/dl.asp?id=4957

Guide to Streambox VCR here :)

You may also find the Real Audio to MP3 guide here useful (this is from my website about DVD players BTW !)

I have a Traxdata Audio CD recorder as part of my Hi-Fi. I am planning to record the show direct to CD from my Denon TU260L mk.II tuner. I get a clean strong signal when tuned to Radio 2.

As the broadcast is split into 2 one hour shows I am planning to produce a 2 CD set.

Yeah no probs - email me your address and I'll post the CD's to you.

However, just wondered if you have a Digital TV box ?? If so you can connect the TV box to your HiFi amp, as if it was a radio tuner, using a normal phono lead. Then simply switch on the TV and select Radio 2 - now record the analogue signal using your Pioneer CD Recorder. My TV box is from NTL and I can listen to a wide variety of Radio Stations - I believe the Sky boxes also provide Radio.

And Freeview...

I have no chance because my daughter controls the Sky box and will be watching Nickleodeon as usual. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll email you in a week or so.

I have an mp3 of tonight's show, but it came off as a vbr. It's about ~57mb and it's up on soulseek. My slsk name is aem4162.

I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for this Ricardo - I just couldn't nail the address at all. Out of curiosigty - how did you do it ? Did you use URL Snooper ?

It doesn't function here yet.You changed it but remains the same problem.

Your computer has a problem, format your hard disk and install everything from the scratch again.

Now seriously, I don't know. There must be something wrong with your Streambox VCR, as I double-checked the URL and clayts was able to download it as well.

I downloaded but I just can't listen to it.Real Media Player doesn't open the file.

Nope, I used only StreamBox VCR. If you use the documentary link in StreamBox, you'll download a file called "radio2_aod.shtml_docu3". It's 32KB but somewhere in there there's a link to "docu3.rpm". If you download this file, you'll find the final link. ;)

Yes, that shtml file was all I could come up with - I didn't think to actually look in that file for the proper link ! I'll know for next time :)

Thanks for clarifying.

Try changing your .ra file associations to WinAmp - plays fine in that :)

OK, here's the lowdown for people who have Streambox VCR but don't know how to 'peel' a hidden URL.

The process goes like this: go to the page that has the link, and save the link as a file (with right-click, and "save target as"). Then, take a text editor (Notepad, for instance), open the file, and copy the "http:" link found within (it is best to use the "search" function, as there will be a lot of codes in the text). Paste that in a browser window, and when the browser prompts you, save the file to your computer. Open that with a text editor, and look for a link with "rtsp://" (this time, most likely, this will be the only text in the file). That will be downloadable via Streambox.

Complications complement my life :).

I'm using StreamBox and the correct URL, but it's just not connecting for me. Does anyone have the file already downloaded that I could download from them?

Thanks!
