How could I record internet radio on suse 10? I've tried mplayer but could not make it work.
Hi Istvan! From the desktop, I use KRecord (KDE) and qaRecord (Gnome) for general purpose on-the-fly recording. They capture everything going through my mixer... voice via the microphone (unless muted)... anything playing in MPlayer, mplayerplug-in or RealPlayer including audio from streamed or local video. If your hardware is correctly set up and you know which mixer has been activated, you can adjust volume(s) for quality/clipping, etc. in the mixer. You can also capture and encode streams on the fly from the command line. One of many possible examples: "ogg123 http://webradiosite.ext/stream.ogg -d wav -f - | sox -t wav -r 44100 -s -w -c 2 - streamcap.ogg" (mind the word wrap) -t = the input sample type; in this case wav -r = sampling rate -s specifies signed linear data -w specifies 16-bit -c specifies the number of channels (use 'ogg123 --help' and 'sox --help' to review option summaries) This captures an Ogg stream, pipes the data in wav format to SoX which, in turn, encodes/compresses the data in Ogg format. You might have to play with the sampling rates to avoid unwanted conversion-caused sound artifacts. Also, use the YaST "Install and Remove Software" module (pre 10.0; now called "Software Management") to see which sound programs and utilities are installed. Filter on Package Groups, drill down and explore: a) Applications > Multimedia b) Productivity > Multimedia > Sound > Editors and Converters Lots of neat stuff there to play with and test. regards, - Carl
