changing the focus of the recent total Recorder question, I want to offer some disquieting news.
Looking at the question of how best to capture Internet audio, the two solutions I know are Total Recorder and Replay a/v. I know there are others, but the4se I know. I started out as a fan of this program, switched to Replay a/v, then switched back. Total Recorder has been progressively improving. problems will come for those who upgrade to Vista. I don't have the message from High Criteria handy, but its gist is on their web site. Because of changes in how Vista handles audio content, Total Recorder will lose flexibility. If the audio player itself does not let you change sound drivers, you won't be able to use Total Recorder to capture it. In practical terms, they told me, one can, under Vista, capture the output of windows Media player and winamp streams, but not of RealAudio streams. I don't know whether Real Alternative is any better in this regard. Replay A/v has the possible advantage that the sound does not pass through the sound card in order to be recorded. People at Appliant tell me that it works under vista. So this may be a factor to consider in purchasing decisions.
