    Yes you can. You have to have the software that is capable of it. Google is your friend as well as reading other boards. :D

    You could get a 1/8" Male to Male cord and shove one end on the headphone jack and the other on the line in jack and use a software to record from line in. Just another way of going about it :p.

    Just be VERY sure the recording software is not set to monitor the recording!!! Otherwise, you will get some SERIOUS feedback.

    Thanks for the info.
    Is there a way to just download the stream though.
    If you click the program or launch it on real player, it will take some time to load the whole show and than you can switch to different parts of the program, but the stream shuts down on me sometimes, So i'm trying to find a program that would load the entire show, and than download it so I can listen to the music and less of the talking.

    You might be able to find the stream in your Windows Temp folders. do a search based on time of creation to narrow it down.

    I searched around but couldn't find much.
    The stream launches in a player already created by bbc so the link shows up like this.
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml?radio1/tong

    It used to be able to launch in Real player as well, but now I can't figure out how to do that
    I really think there is a way to capture this, but how?

    I've used vixy before but never saw an option to record streaming audio.
    Looking at it again, I highly doubt you can record streaming audio.
    But I may be wrong, thats why I asked if someone can confirm it can.

    I'm looking for the best possible streaming audio recorder now, what do you suggest?

    As Gary said try it and then you will be able to confirm for yourself.
