BBC Radio to CD (Ripping Real Audio stream and burning to Audio CD)

#1 04-30-2006, 10:09 AM

I want to rip BBC radio programs off the Radio 4 website and make audi CDs of them that will play in my car (I have a long commute). I would want to do it from the links that point at previously broadcast programs rather than the live feed. Has anybody done this or do they have advice on how to do it?
I downloaded a free Real Audio ripper from somewhere but got nowhere with it. I do not mind paying a little for a tool that works.
thanks

This is a trypical link I wanted to rip:

Downloading with any Real Audio ripper and burning with Nero (recommended option)

If you use Nero to burn CDs and DVDs, you may download RealNetworks RealMedia/RealAudio plug-in and burn Real Audio/Real Media files to Audio CD.
Please read more about Audio/Video plug-ins for Nero at

In this case you may use any stream recorder supporting Real Video/Real Audio like RM Recorder to download Real Audio files for the following conversion.

Downloading with any Real Audio ripper, converting to WAV and burning with any CD burning software (recommended option)

First of all use any stream recorder supporting Real Video/Real Audio like RM Recorder to download Real Audio/Real Media files.

Then use Audio and video conversion software like free Streambox Ripper or commercial Xilisoft Video Converter to convert Real Audio/Real Media files to WAV.

Capturing Real Audio files with r7c (Real7ime Converter) to WAV and burining with any CD burning software

r7c is a free Real Audio/Real Video stream ripper that can capture to directly WAV. r7c is not software I like. The developer stopped supporting it long ago, so I suggest you to use one of the first two options.

Yet again you may burn WAV files to Audio CD using your favorite CD burning software.

Recording Real Audio with direct sound recording software

Direct sound recording software can record any sound produced by your sound card. Most of such programs can record to MP3 and WAV.

This is not really a good option, 'coz it won't allow you to record several streams simultaneously. Besides the quality of such recording depends on your internet connection, sound card quality, software settings.

Yet again you may burn WAV files to Audio CD using your favorite CD burning software.

You can do everything in one step with Replay A/V. It stream captures, then converts, then burns a CD, automatically.
It's free to try.
