Traxx Ambient: Problem ripping Icecast streaming radio stations on iTunes


 
I'm currently using StationRipper 2.92 and like all the other rippers I've used, it rips many itunes streaming stations fine. However the songs I want most are on a station that just won't rip (of course!)

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention the station. But I will use this one as an example:
In iTunes --> Radio --> Ambient is a station named "TraxxAmbient"
I can't rip this. Even when I go into Get Info and find a huge url there, I retype this url into my ripper programme but it still won't rip. So as a last resort I go to the website (in this example, traxx.fm). Strangely, this website has all sorts of streaming audio genres, everything in fact EXCEPT a streaming audio channel for Traxx Ambient.

Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Is it rippable?

Many thanks!

p.s.
I apologise if this has been asked before. I'm sure it has but I couldn't find it in my search so thought I'd ask.

iTunes provides Shoutcast/Icecast streams. Traxx Ambient is offeres as an Icecast stream. There are lots of Shoutcast/Icecast rippers that you can use to record from it.

If you can't launch this radio from traxx.fm, you may try to use the following playlist URL in your player or stream ripper:
Code:
http://www.itraxx.ch/Traxx_Ambient.m3u
This playlist file showed the following URL:
Code:
http://broadcast.infomaniak.ch/traxx011-low.mp3
I tried to record with Replay AV:

I tried StationRipper and it started recording OK as well.

What kind of problem exactly did you have when ripping?
