DSL Tips and Tricks :: Internet Radio



Just glad someone's using my streamripper.dsl :D Now that I have my thinclients and am making a streaming radio dsl install for it, I may want to update streamripper :D.

(and I asume you know about the slight descrepency about the mp3 cutting that streamripper does with some songs being cut off before they actually finish and the second song having the last couple of seconds of the first)

I haven't had that problem yet, although there seems to be variation in  how Streamripper responds to different radio stations.  Sometimes it perfectly indexes all the tracks, while other times it just rips one large file.

It depends on the station. Even VLC is weird like that. Most have to do with newer MP3Plus or AAC stations. I believe streamripper only gathers metadata from Shoutcast and Icecast mp3 streams. I have yet to see a AAC stream with metadata (Much to my aural displeasure. I like knowing what songs I'm listening to on my 3 favorite stations).

But, in the mean time, I will probably be updating the streamripper mydsl sometime this month.
