You should also know that stream recording and capturing are misused very often. If you capture/download/rip your stream, you do not lose any quality. But if you record from your sound card, then you can lose some quality (alternatively you can use lossless codecs when recording from your sound card, but the recorded files will be pretty big).

Sorry, I'm probably not making myself clear enough. What if there is a website with a 'listen-again' programme. But it doesn't say what bit-rate it plays. Similarly, I am using nexus radio and sometimes in the status bar it says 64 kbps but the station info says 128 kbps. In 'Sound Capture' or sound recorders I have to specify what bit-rate my resultant mp3 file should be. How do I know what bit-rate is sent to my computer?
