Internet radios question

I was wondering if it is possible to record internet radios.Been listening lately to some internet radios that play good music, but I'm not always near a pc to be able to listen to them.It would be great if I could listen to the music they have on my phone when I'm away from home.

    If your phone allows, you can put the url for the stream (which can be found in the url bar when the station is playing, should end in .wav or something like that) into your phone. You should be able to hear it if your phone supports either flash or quicktime, mattering what they use to stream.

    I can easily listen to streaming radio websites on my Windows Mobile phone (having a $15 unlimited data package helps).

    For recording streaming radio on your computer, there are a number of apps that will do it seamlessly, although almost any audio-recording app will let you do it with most sound cards/chipsets these days - just set your record mixer to use the "Stereo Mix" as its source.

    I have a nokia, but nothing fancy smancy so I doubt that it would work to install anything for playing streams.That's why I was thinking about recording.Maybe you could give me some suggestions on what apps I should try.

    Try googling "streaming radio recorder" :) Sorry, I can't suggest anything specific - the very rare times I've needed to record a stream, I've just used Audacity and set my record mixer appropriately.

    well, gonna check out this audacity although I hope it's nothing too hard to use.Also google and found a couple of reviews here

    I guess they must have tested them, if they wrote the reviews. I think it's better to use a more reliable source than starting to install all kinds of apps from the tons of sorces I found,I don't wanna fuck up my pc.

    Audacity isn't hard to use, really, but it's designed as a multi-track recording app, so it's designed to do a lot more than what you're trying to do. Kinda like using Photoshop to rotate and resize your photos - it'll do it, but it's way overkill :)

    Just looking at the reviews of Freecorder and the Freecorder Toolbar, looks like either will do the trick for you.

    Been a while since I have played with it, but I used to mess with a little freeware app called screamer radio. It was fairly easy to use, pick an internet station, press record.

    Hmm, didn't know about screamer radio either.That radiotracker one also looks pretty interesting.It does podcasts and seems to have some sort of music finder function, though didn't really understand exactly what it does from that article.Must dig a little further.

    Yeah, sounds good, but with this one you still are tied to a pc or at least to an internet connection, which I am trying avoid.
