Hi
I think it might only be possible to download that stream in "real time".

With Windows the stream can be captured (without transcoding) using VLC-1.1.11 with a command like this:-

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" rtsp://stream.army.mil/Army%20Band/Broadcast%20Archives/2007/03/24/Yamamoto/Yamamoto-128k.mov --sout "#std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=C:\Yamamoto.m4a}"

But the result didn't sound so good.

FFmpeg does a better job.
Like this:-

ffmpeg -i "rtsp://stream.army.mil/Army%20Band/Broadcast%20Archives/2007/03/24/Yamamoto/Yamamoto-128k.mov" -c:a flac Yamamoto.flac

This sounds good to me.

"just pick the static builds"

With VLC or FFmpeg, you can interrupt/abort after a minute or two to check the quality before you save the whole stream.


If you're not comfortable with command line, go with Audacity or something.

EDIT
There's a problem with the flac file downloaded with FFmpeg.
It plays OK and sounds good, but it's not "seekable".
A way to overcome this is to convert it to mp3 like this:-

ffmpeg -i Yamamoto.flac -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 128k Yamamoto.mp3
