You need to convert ithat to a wave file first and then you can encode it with lame.

Assuming you are on the directory where the dump file is:

mplayer -ao pcm:file=output.wav dump.asf

and then:

lame -b 192 output.wav output.mp3

...and you will have output.mp3 encoded at 192 Kb/s

Fantastic, Jorge! Thank you! Two more questions, please, if you care to indulge me: Can I pipe the dumpfile into sox or mencoder or something else such that, next time, I won't have to convert the format? Also, I want to automate this capture via a short script (called by cron, probably) to be run on a daily basis to 'snapshot' two hours of the stream each day. Any pointers will be gratefully appreciated! regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sure, you can concatenate the output of mplayer to lame's stdin. I'll send you the script I use (I'll send it to your email directly).

Thanks, Jorge! Very generous of you! Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
