recording streamed audio as FLAC

recording streamed audio as FLAC

 

can anyone please recommend software that will enable me to record streamed audio as FLAC (lossless) files?
i am using 'replay' which is great at saving as WAV but i would like my files to be the better quality FLAC format.
i would be particularly interested in free software but any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks for reading this and best wishes.
please reply to: fas@freeola.com

Re: recording streamed audio as FLAC

 

WAV is a lossless format like FLAC. And you can convert WAV to FLAC to reduce file size after recording.

You may also use free sound editor called Audacity to record any sound produced by your sound card. But it doesn't support song splitting and tagging.

Also you don't lose any quality when downloading/capturing/ripping audio stream, so it is always better to use stream rippers/recorders than direct sound recording software like Audacity.

I suggest you to consider streaming media recording and streaming audio recording software before recording from your sound card.
