  Recording internet radio tutorial

   

  We are going to use a website called mikes worldwide radio for this tutorial

  http://www.mikesradioworld.com/

   

  the station we are looking for is radio one extra in Dublin.

   

  Let me give you an idea of how the sites home page looks.

  This site lists stations under 

  region 

  then country 

  then the list of stations in that country.

   

   the main reason I use this site is that a lot of the stations on the site 
use real player and it has a record facility, but a lot of them use wmp too , 
so we will be slightly limited.

   

  As far as I am aware wmp windows media player has a record facility but ….i 
cant find it on the latest version.

  maybe someone on list will check where the record feature is on wmp and you 
will have that player as an alternative way to record internet radio.

   

   

  So here we go  getting a station and using real player to record it.

   

  1 open the mikes worldwide radio link if you haven't already.

  http://www.mikesradioworld.com/

   

  2 pull up your list of links using insert and f7

  You are looking at a list of regions

   

  3 because the station we want is in Ireland we must pick the Europe region 
first, so arrow to Europe and press enter

   

  4  when this page opens we need to find Ireland

  So use insert and f7 again and then arrow to Ireland or press the letter i. 
be careful or you could end up getting Iceland radio!

  Press enter.

   

  5  the Ireland page opens and there is a list of Irish stations.

  Now this is tricky because if you pull up the links again the site will not 
tell you which stations use real player and which use other players

  So instead 

  Keep pressing your down arrow until you come to the station you want, in our 
example radio one extra.

   

   

  6 when you get to the station you will hear the following

  First the station name

  Second the location of the station

  Third jaws will say Graphic and then the player you can use i.e. if it says 
graphic real audio you can use real player to play and record the station.

  If jaws says graphic and windows media player you can use that one and so on

   

  Note 

  that if jaws announces mp3 then the station will open in real player too.

   

  7 now we wanted radio one extra in Dublin and have got to the station name

  Arrow down again and we hear Dublin, its location

  Arrow down again and we hear graphic real audio which means the station can 
be played through real player

  arrow down again you will hear jaws say graphic windows media but we want to 
arrow down past this

  arrow again and jaws says link 32 kbps this is the link to open and listen to 
the station

   

  8 Press enter and the station opens in real player after a few seconds. Be 
patient 

   

  9 Right so now you are listening and want to record what you hear

  Maybe its an oasis interview, god forbid.

   

  With the real player window active Press alt and f for file

  Press r for record and then enter.

   

  10 you are now recording.

  When you have heard enough 

  press alt and f again 

  press the letter r again and recording stops.

  Wait a few seconds, about 5 and then we will go look for what we recorded.

   

  11 So where is the recording?

  Well I don’t know why, maybe it is my own personal laptop settings but the 
recording goes into the my videos folder.

  You can find this in  you’re my documents

   

  12 Open the my videos folder

  In here you will see a folder called real player downloads

  Open this and your recording is listed by the name of the station you 
recorded, in our case radio one extra.

   

  Note if you made a few recordings from this station you might want to rename 
the files so you can identify them.

   

  13 finally it should be possible to burn or copy this recording to a memory 
stick, but yours truly has not got around to this ……yet! Will keep you posted.
