Anyone know any good stream rippers?
I am trying to convert and-or rip streaming audio from the internet. I am looking for software and-or codecs that is freeware to do this. I am looking for stream rippers.

dmc auxiliary input works well for this. look for it here on this page: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm*AuxiliaryInput

i think you need dmc installed also. then go to codec central to download and install the codecs you want to stream/rip to.

This is quite easy if you know a bit about html coding and web site structure and functioning.

Keep in mind there might be issues about copyright protection and such that prevail though.

If what you want to do is actually download the media file that is being streamed, and if the streaming is done as pseudo-streaming through meta-files (asx, wax, wvx, m3u, rm, etc), and if right-clicking is enabled (I know, lots of ifs :smile2: ), then right click on the link and save target as whatever file name. Edit this file name using Notepad and you will find inside the actual name of the media file being streamed. Then you can construct the url of the media file from that name and placing in the front the rest of the path (domain/folder/subfolder ....). At this point I prefer writing a bit of html code that allows me to download such a file, something like:


<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<a href ="http://domain.com/path/mediafile.mp3">right-click here to download</a>
</body>
</html>


Save this as whatever.htm, execute it from Windows Explorer, right click where it says to, and save target as and bingo, it's done. Usually this works on most web sites, unless something or other has been disabled.

This will not work the same way or perhaps not at all if the streaming is a type of live webcast, or at least I don't know how to capture that one easily.

:thumbup: Thanks for the help, I will try Auxiliary Input but and the html coding.
I am trying to convert a meta-file (*.asx) using the html coding.
The asx file adress ishttp://www.angelfire.com/magic/chinchilla/creep.asx
I cannot make it work with the html coding. Let me know if anybody can convert this asx to any other format. I would like to convert it to *.mp3.
Will Auxillary Input work for this? I will try.

Aha, this is an example of a site that doesn't allow this. The media file itself is at
mms://a423.v8384d.c8384.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/423/8384/3b858b51/mtvrdstr.download.akamai.com/8512/wmp/5/96/7139_1_2_04.asf

This is a streaming server so you can't just download the file, you end up streaming it. Now you need to capture, so indeed Auxiliary Input will do it.

Iīve downloaded dmc and the "auxillary input" and tried it, but the only input sources that are offerd are CD, Line In, mic.
The quality of the mic. is as good as to sing it myself.

In addition to this thread I read http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=96019
but there it also says: download>play>record

Whereīs my mistake?

I still donīt know my problem, but I tried to stream with SDP and got
"> HTTP: Unknown content type: content-type: audio/x-scpls"
as error.

Could it be that dbpoweraAMP canīt handle these audio/x-scpls ?

Please help me!

Open the Volume control by right-clicking on the Volume icon in your task bar (or from Control panel). The display there varies depending on yuor particular sound card, this is why it's hard to say exactly what you need. You must ensure that the option that indicates an audio source other than CD, mic or line-in is activated (i.e. not muted). This may be called Master Volume or Wave or Stereo Mix or some such thing. There may be an option to expand the view as well, so explore that. If in doubt unmute all of them.
I hope this helps.

Hi, but how do you capture the streaming?

For capturing the streaming using Auxilary input I believe that the steps outlined in *2 of this thread from Christina S. should provide the information you need:

Actually that one is Razgo's post, directing you to the help on Auxiliary Input.

I have added a new thread on when and how to use dMC Auxiliary Input in the dBpowerAMP FAQ section at http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=5362 .

Between all those threads, you should be able to use dMC Auxiliary Input successfully.

If what you want to do is actually download the media file .......

You might find that Net Transport (http://www.xi-soft.com/default.htm) is what you are looking for.
I regularly download 2 hour shows in 10 minutes.

Hey, that looks very interesting. I'll have a go at it.

Do you have any useful tips on how to use it or is it easy enough?

I haven't tried saving streams with dbpower amp aux yet.

I have used StationRipper before. You can d/l up to 300 streams at the same time. I like the fact that it automatically saves the broadcasted file name (artist-song.mp3), artist/song/etc. ID tags for each streamed file, and will save each station's songs in their own subfolder identified by the radio station call sign (i.e. Magic Radio, ProFM, etc.) station; great for presorting songs (or from keeping low bit rates out of your main music folder). I use this feature because sometimes those hidden gems of a song are more easily found on sites that have lower bit rate streams.

Station ripper also has a mdb file that saves what songs have been downloaded so it won't re-record a song you have already & if you would like it to remember - it will remember any file you delete so it will skip d/l that file in the future.

Does dbpoweramp aux input save streamed music ID tags and automatically create file names of the songs?
If so I'd like to try it :)... If not that would be something Id like.

Also note to Spoon:

StreamRipper publishes its open source code. Perhaps this could be intigrated into dbPowerAmp in a future version? dbPowerStream ;)

*lol* almost sounds like a name of a power washer or something

dMC Auxiliary Input - record from the soundcard as you play the stream through it. It doesn't care about the source.

Look for instrurctions in the FAQ section of the dMC forum at http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=5362 .
