I'm a novice when it comes to recording. I'm looking for freeware to time shift a talk show on a commercial radio station. This is something I may only use once or twice a year, so it's not worth paying a license fee. Here's the direct URL for the stream:

http://citadelcc-kkoh-am.wm.llnwd.net/citadelcc_KKOH_AM

I thought this would be simple but I've wasted an entire evening trying different products and reviewing this website, without success.

So far, I've tried Snaptune One and StationRipper. I later learned that Snaptune is no longer in business. I noticed that StationRipper is listed in the chart of streaming audio recorders, but the only input format supported is Icecast. How do I determine if the above stream is Icecast format? I also read in the FAQ that some streams are copy protected, but I couldn't find any information on how to know if a stream is protected.

Thanks for suggestions!

Freeware URL Snooper (http://all-streaming-media.com/find-stream-URL/Project-URL-Snooper-Find-the-actual-stream-URL-Free-download.htm) can help you finding real stream URLs in many cases.

Here we've got Windows Media .asf stream broadcasted through the mms protocol:
mms://citadelcc-kkoh-am.wm.llnwd.net/citadelcc_KKOH_AM?MSWMExt=.asf
Please see streaming media capture programs (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/all-streaming-video-recording-software.htm) that support Windows Media streams.

WebVideoCap (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WebVideoCap-Freeware-stream-capture-software-for-HTTP-flash-RTSP-MMS-Windows-Media-streams.htm) is freeware stream ripper that support Windows Media mms streams.

Thanks for the assist!! I only referred to the chart on audio streaming recorders. It didn't occur to me to check the video list :rolleyes:

I just downloaded WebVideoCap. Pretty basic (no way to time shift), although I can live with that. However, according to online help, there's no way to move back and forth when playing back an MMS capture in Windows Media Player. That's a show stopper. The program I want to record is 4 hours, and I'm only interested in a small part of that.

Is that a limitation of the WebVideoCap, or Windows Media Player, or of the mms stream format?? The help page wasn't clear on this. If it's a limitation of the stream, then I'll have to find another radio station that carries the program of interest.
