Convert streaming audio to MP3 or WMA

Howdy all,

What is the easiest way to convert a streaming audio (.asx file) to MP3 or WMA? I am looking at doing this daily for an audio program I listen to. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

RADAR

easiest: hook up a mic and record your sound. then just convert the wav file to mp3 or wma

Yeah, that was what I was afraid of. Unfortunately that means I a spend about 2 and half hours a day doing the conversion.

there may be a plug in or option in winamp to convert automatically to mp3 while playing streaming audio.

Look for program called ASFRecorder. It'll capture asf/asx files to your hard disk.

I use it occasionally. It doesn't always work, but most of the time it does.

How about something like Acoustica MP3 Mixer.At least you won't have conversion to do

It list some urls in the "about" box but they're not links and I'm too lazy to type them out for you. So here's a screenshot.

now that is laziness.

ARg! i hate winamp3, i know i have recorded mp3's from my shoutcast station with winamp automatically. there is an option in output somewhere. but whether you can do it with asx files i am not sure.

Are you kidding? It's work to type ugly urls. Expecially 4 or 5 of them.

Total Recorder or
Super Mp3 Pro Recorder will work just fine for what you are trying to do. I would check both of them out.

Super Mp3 Pro Recorder records directly as a .mp3 file so no encoding from .wav to .mp3 is necessary. You can even set the mp3 bitrate to record at
