How do you record XM shows?

[SinA]

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have a MyFi.&nbsp; In the past, the only way I know of to get recorded audio&nbsp;to where I can get it on&nbsp;CD is to play it into my computer.&nbsp; It works, the audio is&nbsp;good enough&nbsp;(it could probably be better if with a new soundcard), but it's time consuming.</p><p>Does anyone have other better or faster techniques?</p>

<p>If you play the stuff on your computer there are ways to record the audio from in there.&nbsp; You'll need one of the desktop players so XM won't cut your feed off due to inactivity, and you'll need a free audio recording program off the internet.</p><p>Someone on staff here can probably link you to the thread about it, there's one chock full of info.&nbsp; I've used it before with Cool Edit Pro2 and the sound quality is great.</p>

I used to record shows, but I no longer do. But when I did, I downloaded audiograbber. It's a free program, that you can get from download.com. Then, you can use, XM online or your myfi (inline into your sound card), and set it to record at a specific time.&nbsp; You can burn directly into a WMA file, which is great.&nbsp; So, you can set it up to record everyday at a specific time, and it will record them into nice neat files for you.&nbsp; You can even choose the bit rate, and all sorts of stuff like that to control file size.&nbsp; I think I used to record it in mono, at 48bits or whatever.&nbsp; It sounded fine.&nbsp; Your sound card really shouldn't be a problem.&nbsp; It doesn't really take a great sound card to get good recordings.&nbsp; If you are worried, you can pick up a soundblaster 16 for like 20 bucks, or an audigy for like 50.&nbsp;

I use TotalRecorder which does essentially the same things that feralBoy mentioned. If for some reason I am unable to record it at work, I record the overnight replay via the internet stream, also using TotalRecorder. Once youget the hang of it, it is pretty easy..</p><p>If I recall correctly, TotalRecorder has a free version but I ended up paying something like $25 to upgrade.</p>
