How to rip/record internet/itunes radio stations (VLC)

Open VLC

File > Streaming/Exporting Wizard

Pop up opens:

• Transcode/Save to file > next
  
• In select a stream, copy the url of the radio stream (usually ends in .pls) > next
  
• Under 'Audio' select MP3 and the bit rate of the stream (eg 128) > next
  
• Select RAW > next
  
• Select a path to save to (> click on 'local playback' if you want to listen to it at the same time) > next
  
• Finish
• You end up with a '.raw' file - just rename it to .mp3

If your using itunes radio, you'll need to find the url of the stream (usually found by searching for their site).

Please note you should only do this if you have permission to record the radio's stream

cheers for the info chum,its not something i've ever done but if i ever do i'll know where to start

I'm djing on kick106 now (5-7), someone try it out.

I wanted it for last night - met a www.bassdrive.com DJ in the Apple store in Cardiff and he said he was gonna give me a shout out lol. Unfortunately I tried one of those stupid radio streamer demos which stops working after 30 mins!! Oh well least I got this for next time!

Will try to stop by your show Smak - Can you get it via itunes radio list?
