Unable to record tracks from an internet radio station from publicradio.org

[casab]

I'm trying to record from The Current (minnesota public radio) which streams on the internet:

http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/streams.shtml

I'm able to save a copy of the audio stream, but I have not been able to find a program that can successfully split the tracks and name the files automatically. The music is indie/ecletic, which may be the problem. I've tried Replay Music 3.3 and WM Recorder 11 so far.
Any thoughts?

Radio can be a bit tricky, as there needs to be a definet 'pause' or silence for the recorders to know the song is over and a new one has started. Let me look into a few things and follow up on this...

Great! Thanks for any help.
The station streams a caption/subtitle that displays the title and artist of the song in the media player. Perhaps that could somehow be used help name the songs automatically?

I had no any problem recording Windows Media audio stream with WM Recorder in the PRO mode.

I haven't tried to record MP3 stream from this web-site, but I'm pretty sure many Shoutcast stream rippers will be able to do that.

Streamripper (with Winamp) works! However, it splits the tracks 15-30 sec off from the actual change in song. The song splitting seems to coincide with when the radio station changes the song title/artist displayed in my media player.

Replay Music rarely identified the song correctly, and when it did, it often included several minutes of other songs in that song file.

I wasn't able to get WM Recorder to identify and split the tracks at all.

So far, Streamripper is the best, but far from perfect.

Any one have a better method?

It splits track when metadata changes. Actually the algorithm is more complicated. See the official web-site for more.

It really depends on the music you listen and whether the songs are overlapped or not.

WM Recorder doesn't support song splitting and tagging.

You can try lots of other Shoutcast stream rippers
