Is there a way to download and record the shows from Clare FM?

Help appreciated.

You should be able to run a male-male cable adapter from the speaker to the mic port on your soundboard, and then record the stream using audacity. It’s not an ideal set up, because you have to de-code the signal to analogue and then immediately turn it back again, but it will work.

get real player, open with real player, click on download

Pat,

Why not just go to the archive page and click on download!! You don’t need to record the live stream.

Google “audio hijack equivalent for PC” and you’ll find some useful Discussion Group threads with suggestions.

Rogue Amoeba’s Audio Hijack allows MAC users to grab the audio from any running application, and there seem to be ways to make a PC do the same thing.

Simply go to trad archive page at Clarefm, look for this disky picture beside the show name (left side of disply), point to it, then right click, select “save target as” and you will be prompted for a storage location. Then download it.

Then you can put the resulting mp3 on your mp3 player or play through your cmputer.
I’ve done this for about two years now - a wonderful feature and it costs nothing except the time to do it.

DownThemAll ! is a Firefox extension that will, as its name suggests, let you download files of whatever kind on a page without having to select them one by one.

I use iTunes to capture all of the ClareFM trad shows as a podcast. Any podcatcher should work if you don’t like iTunes. Try an internet search for your OS, for example “Linux podcatcher”. Here is the URL for the podcast: http://www.clare.fm/music/ClareFM%20trad%20archive/rss.xml

Using a podcatcher make the downloading almost effortless; the podcatcher will check for all new episodes since your last download and bring them all down for you. Note that ClareFM only keeps programs available for a week, so you just need to remember to download once a week.

I let iTunes move them to my iPod, and listen to them in the car. I have a 1.5 to 2 hour commute each day, so ClareFM entertains me all week.

You could use Audacity, works pretty well for downloading in real time, it’s free for download.
