I would like to save todays' Radio Margaritaville's concert broadcast, and I don't know how. I don't have a cd burner or mp3/i-pod. I do have REAL and WINDOWS MEDIA. I'd like to record/copy it to a file, to listen to it on occasion, or send it to someone who can burn a cd for me.
But I don't know how, or if there is a way to accomplish this. Any help?? If you don't feel comfortable posting the info, just PM or E-mail me. Thanks
Also, is it a concert at randon, or last night's Charlotte show??? (doesn't matter to me)

I've never done it myself but my guess is that you would need a sonud recorder. You can download them for around $20-$30. If there is another way I'm not sure.

Here is the 'poor mans' way of recording online content using Windows Sound Recorder. Its a way of adding recording time to the 60 second limits of the application. The sound quality is pretty good but the files that are created are huge! Allow at least 400MB of HD space for an hour of recording. The .wav file it creates can be burned directly to CD or ripped down to an MP3 format to compress space.
Do this setup before you record the show:
1. Open Sound Recorder and Click Record, and then let Sound Recorder run for 60 seconds.
2. After Sound Recorder stops recording, click Save As on the File menu, and name the file Blank.wav.
3. To increase the maximum recording time in Sound Recorder, click Insert File on the Edit menu, and then insert the Blank.wav file that you saved in step 2. When you do this, the maximum recording time is increased by 60 seconds. You can repeat this step once for each additional minute of recording time that you want to add. For example, for a 5-minute recording time, insert the Blank.wav file five times.
To make Sound Recorder use the extended length of recording time automatically:
1. Right-click Start, and then click Open.
2. Double-click the Programs folder.
3. Double-click the Accessories folder.
4. Double-click the Multimedia folder or the Entertainment folder.
5. Right-click Sound Recorder, and then click Properties.
6. Click the Shortcut tab.
7. In the Target box, press the END key, press the SPACEBAR, and then type the location of the Blank.wav file.
For example, if the target is "C:Windowssndrec32.exe", and the location of the Blank.wav file is C:Blank.wav, the new line in the Target box is "C:Windowssndrec32.exe C:Blank.wav"
The next time you start Sound Recorder, the Blank.wav file opens automatically. After you record your new .wav file, you can click Delete After Current Position on the Edit menu to remove the extra blank space in the file.
NOTE: When you finish recording and editing your new .wav file, save the file with a new file name.
Give it a test and see how you like it...Good luck!

We all say that about you too, but at least we're nice enough to do it behind your back...
