Recording livestreams with Mplayer

Posted by Treg in Howto's

First get the url from which stream you want to record/rip.

Than open a terminal window and enter:
mplayer -srate 44100 -ao pcm -aofile output.wav -v url

url is ofcourse your stream

There is another method, but it doesn’t work al the time:
mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile test.wav url

After the recording proces you can easily convert this files to any audio format you want.
