I subscribe to DI.fm and discovered that I could use MC12 to record the streams. I'm using v12.0.529 of MC.
I'm trying it out with a WMA128 stream. I'm selecting to play and record the stream for 60 minutes. It starts up fine, but doesn't play -- just records, so I'm thinking I must just be misunderstanding the checkbox to play while recording?
The resulting file is 128 kbps; WMA 9.2; VBR Quality 75; 44kHz, stereo 1-pass vbr. I thought I'd change the setting to a 'quality 100' maybe, but couldn't find a setting anywhere that had an effect on this. Is the recording an actual copy of the stream, and those are the bitrate settings going out from DI.fm?
I also just discovered on the test recording that while I can play it, it's not possible to skip to another part of the track -- it will only play and there's no track length info. If I pull up the properties for the file, it shows a 00:00 as the length, which is wrong.
Thanks!
