Well, I do neither download nor record, only listen, and so I can't tell the details. It appears that the streaming is built into XMPlay (or is part of a XMP plugin), as I can't identify any WinAmp Plugin, that matches the description. From the xmplay.txt: XMPlay is a Win32 (Windows 95/98/NT/2k/ME/XP/etc...) audio player, supporting several formats. Initially, when XMPlay was first released in 1998, only the XM format was supported, hence the name "XMPlay". Stream formats -------------- * OGG - Ogg Vorbis * MP3 - MPEG1/2/2.5 layer 3 * MP2 - MPEG layer 2 * MP1 - MPEG layer 1 * WMA - Windows Media Audio * WAV - any format that has a codec installed * CDA - CD Audio (...) As well as the listed formats with built-in support, a whole load more formats can be played with XMPlay too, via plugins. XMPlay has it's own native "input" plugin system but can also use Winamp plugins. (...) The playlist panel ================== Double-clicking on a track will make XMPlay play the track. Right-clicking brings up further options to play the track, to write a copy to disk while playing the track (URLs only), queue the track, skip the track, add it to the library, display track info, and remove the track. If an internet stream is of a fixed length (a file on an FTP/HTTP server), the "Write to disk" option can be selected while the track is already playing (or has even finished playing), and XMPlay will write the portion that has already been downloaded and continue to write the remainder that is being downloaded. So you can preview the track before deciding if you want to keep it, without having to start downloading it again. Shoutcast/Icecast/Icecast2 streams that include the track titles, can be automatically split into the separate files when writing them to disk. (...) Plugins & Skin -------------- (...) NOTE: Only Winamp plugins that can feed the sample data to XMPlay (rather than use their own output device) are loaded, which is most of them. Hope that helps...

AND, with Screamer, you can record the songs right from that program AND it automatically cuts them for length and NAMES them by Artist and Song Title. I then download em all to my MP3 player archive and I have all the oldies (Rock from 60s, 70s, and 80s) that are my favorites for my MP3 Player. Pretty slick, and technically, no copyright enfrigement as I am just lisn to the radio, right? Weezel |
