As explained in the FAQ stream capturing using direct sound recording and screen capture software is not the best way to record audio and video streams. I prefer to use such software on my PC only when there is no other way to save audio/video stream to the HD. In all other cases it is better to use stream recorders that actually download streaming content.

If you wanna listen to a stream and record it at the same time, then RM Recorder (Windows/$49,95) is the ultimate choice. Try "Proxy" or "Ada" mode. It is free to try and it has a 30-day unconditional money-back guarantee. Nothing to lose.

You may also consider purchasing the Replay Video Suite (Windows/$49,95) which includes RM Recorder to record Real Audio and Real Video streams, WM Recorder to record Windows Media streams and WM VCR to schedule your recordings.

You may also use other stream recorders to record Real Audio/Real Media/Real Video streams. See All streaming media recording software chart for more.
