Alexandra,
Recording streams with this program is really easy. All you need do
is open an audio stream, and look for the playback\rec option with
your tab key, press enter, and start recording. If you are recording
an AAC stream, it will convert to mp3 on the fly, so you don't have
to worry about doing that. The program uses the LAME encoder to
accomplish this task.
Keep in mind that I have just started to use this program, so I might
have a bit to learn as I go.
Keep in mind that a lot of the streams listed in the program's
listing of streams are no longer up to date, so if you are already
using a program such as Winamp, you might want to take the streams
you are interested in and pasting them into the edit box when opening
streams. Anyway, it will work well.
It isn't as convenient as Total Recorder, but it does get this
little, but vital operation done. I sure wish it contained a
scheduler. But since I can't do that, at least I can copy an AAC
stream without having to use Winamp, and then using TR with the what
you hear option with my sound card to make such a recording. As long
as I don't get stuck somewhere, and not get back to the house for
hours, I'm OK with not having a scheduler for such recordings. I can
just stop when I get home, and play the results in Winamp later.
OK, I'm starting to ramble, so I'll go.
Enjoy using this program if you should choose to do so,
Larry

That's interesting. I never found an option which let's you record AAC.
How do you do that and what version do you use? Unfortunately, it isn't
updated anymore, is it?
Take care,
Alexandra
