Got a new Sony Vaio desk top. T5600, if anyone cares.

Anyways, fucking with this computer and listening to streaming radio.
I had a epiphany. " record the streaming audio and burn it on to CD
and be able to play music I got for free in my car"

I got online and did some research and it seemed very easy.
Until I saw a disclaimer on a site about encoded MP3 files.
So I thought. "maybe the audio that is streaming is encoded
and can be recorded on to the PC, but would be unable to
convert the mp3 or wav files to an audio cd file to play in
a regular cd player.

This is what im tring to do:

record streaming radio to my PC.
convert the streaming radio file to an audio file to play in a regular cd player.

Seems to easy. Am i missing something??

Any of you have insight on this..

Dont be smart ass and tell me to pay 15 bucks a month and .99 cent
a song to Napster, Rhapsody, Urge and etc. :bigthumb:

Pick up a stream ripper. They save MP3 streams to your HD.

Burn said MP3 to a CD, put CD in vehicle, enjoy.

So wait, you want to record radio music that you are streaming so you can play it in your car? Ummm... why?

Thats what I did. I tuned to DigitallyImported.com and used a program to save streaming trance music. It worked like a charm and I had 80 minutes of non-stop trance.

I forget the name of the program though, but there are lots of them.

none of my cars play MP3 CD's.

I would have to convert them to some regular audio files, like a regular
cd.
