I may be wrong - which is it to be? Could you tell me a little about the
'capture' software you use, such as the name?

It is based on a RO application called !DigitalCD. With this you can get a
set of modules that decode/play various formats, etc. There is also a
utility to record what is being presented for playing and I've been
experimenting with that. The utility will also fetch the stream if given a
URL so works even with the player not playing. So I can record with or
without listening as I wish. (The snag being knowing when to start/stop
recording if I canna hear what is happening!)

Note that you need a RO machine for the system to work. (It may work with
an emulator, but I can't say.) However the code for what I'm using is based
on source code provided as an example. This is in 'C' so if you can follow
'C' you can read it.

Ah, right, I see. I can't see the stream capture plugin, but that was
all I meant - and you seem to be using it. I was confused by your
original phrase 'recording a stream of music'. I'd just adopted
'capture' because that's what the young people tend to use: record
sound, capture data.

And what a marvellous piece of software function over style it seems :-)

The above is the URL for the main page about this.

if you download the zips, note that the example program for recording is
buried in one of the documents folders (directories). IIRC To find this,
look in the 'docs.zip' file's Docs.Disksample.Example directory for the
DiskPlay command line tool. I've been basing my recordings on this code. It
allows you to choose either the input stream or the results decoded to
LPCM.

Note again that the compiled versions *don't* run under windows or macs or
linux. They require ARM type CPUs and the RO hardware and architecture. But
the 'C' should be clear to programmers. But I'm afraid I can't comment on
how you'd do this on other systems as it involves things like interrupt
controlled buffers, etc. I've modified what is given, but can't say I fully
understand it! Happy enough with what I can do with my "clockwork
computer"... :-)

Good luck. :-)


Luck, a grim determination, work and money.

Actually, not *too* much money - about £300 for cutting edge hardware,
£30 for something that works. Pleased to see they outstrip Intel's
latest on power consumption. And pleased, obviously, that you're happy
with it.

You can't budget for irrationality. I'd prefer to travel by steam train
and listen to music amplified by valves. All to do with the journey,
apparently.
