Download Music from Radio Stations

I really like variety in the music I listen to which is why I often listen to music directly from online Radios.  My number one station is called Electra Radio. I often wish I could download the music from the radio and until now I thought you couldn’t. To do so, begin to download Streamripper. This is a free program that will directly download the music from the site, rather then getting it through your sound card- which can degrade sound quality. It is quite easy to use and will only take seconds. First, you must get the URL of the audio stream. Usually, you can download a .M3U file which can be opened in Notepad to display the URL.  Open CMD by going to Run->CMD. type “cd c:\program files\streamripper” without the quotes. Then type “streamripper URL” to begin the download process, and you are done.
