Rip Internet Radio

2007-07-01 by xpheas
I never have enough music so i was looking for a legal way to get some more and found Streamripper.
Streamripper is a console tool to download music from Internet radio. (Just perfect for me, i love console tools *gg*)

If you also want some music for free check out this:

Installing Streamripper (on Ubuntu Feisty):

First enable the "universe" repositoriy:
Open the sources.list (as sudo) with your prefered editor and look for these line:
BASH-Code:
1
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted

change it to:
BASH-Code:
1
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse

(I've also added the multiverse repositoriy)

Refresh the package list and install Streamripper
BASH-Code:
1
2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install streamripper

Now you can rip music from your favorite internet station:
BASH-Code:
1
streamripper http://160.79.128.40:7754 -d /home/xpheas/music -r 8008

That rips music from sky.fm into my music folder.
With "-r 8008" Streamripper creates a relay server on port 8008, so you can rip the stream and
also listen it with your media player, without downloading the stream twice.
Simply open "http://localhost:8008" on your media player.

Have fun!

Just use
> mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile your_filename.stream http://yoursource.com:8080
Listen to stream while recording? Possible, too:
> cat your_filename.stream | mplayer -
Much easier in my view.
