Recording .ASX from command line (Windows)

[mworden]

Hello all,

I'm new to this forum, and hope you guys can help me find a simple (and free) solution. I'm looking for a command line tool that will record the audio stream from a local on-line radio station. It ends in ".asx" which I understand is a Windows Media format. I'd like to use Windows Task Scheduler to schedule this command to record the stream at a certain time each weekday, for a given number of minutes, saving the stream in (ideally) MP3 or WAV, to be loaded and played back later.

Or, instead of "recording" the stream (I guess it would be a "live" stream), is it possible to download it, so that there is no buffering problems that would cause gaps in the audio? Or are these two methods the same? I'm new to recording streaming audio.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help,
Mark Worden
