change icy:// onto http:// and record with any icecast/shoutcast recorder

 

That was really helpful. I've changed icy:// onto http:// and was able to record it with any Shoutcast/Icecast recorder I have tried including WM Recorder (doesn't have song splitting), Replay A/V and StreamRipper.

Interesting about KROQ. If you enter that icy:// URL into your browser it'll open Winamp and play. If you change icy:// to http:// and enter in Windows Media Player it will play.

How come that doesn't work though for other stations? I tried entering http://64.235.213.41/WCBSAM for WCBS and http://64.235.213.11/WFANAM for WFAN but neither of those worked with either the http:// or the icy://. How did you find that out for KROQ?

I just know that icy:// and http:// is the same. It is like unsv:// and http:// .

Actually, what he meant was not how you knew to change icy to http but why on earth a URL in this format works for KROQ but not for other streams from these guys (WCBS-AM, WFAN-AM, WINS-AM). I have the same issue: I can stream KROQ this way, no problem. But if I substitute the proper IP address and callsign for, say, WINS, the stream will not open. If I type any of these URLs into IE, IE offers to download the streaming .MP3 file, so I know that WINS & KROQ are at least configured similarly enough, location- and streamtype-wise, but KROQ will open in WMP and Winamp and any number of other players, but WINS will not.

Further ideas?

Icecast can stream MP3, AAC, RealAudio AAC ... and may be even more these days. And say streamripper wasn't able to record RealAudio AAC streams. And I bet most of Shoutcast/Icecast rippers won't be able to record even regular AAC streaming.

links to WINS, WCBS from free Replay Media Guide

 

You may get direct links to WINS, WCBS from free Replay Media Guide

Re: links to WINS, WCBS from free Replay Media Guide

 

Which doesn't really answer the question, does it? Furthermore, those links don't work EITHER. Can anyone explain why one can't get one of these stations (other than KROQ, apparently) to simply PLAY in WMP or Winamp instead of streamtheworld's rotten Flash player?

I knew the IP address for the stream because when I went to the radio station's website and played it on Firefox, I kept seeing that IP being refreshed and then when I unearthed the URL address it worked better for Quicktime on my Mac.

For Windows, it seemed to work better using the URL:
http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/asx/KROQFM.asx

Perhaps this URL will fix the issue for use with other radio stations.

Nope. Doesn't work at all with WINSAM. Same deal, in fact.
