Description

This plugin is kind of like StreamRipper32 on crack...What it allows you to do is essentially save off whatever you are currently listening to in whatever bitrate that you like.  This is great for saving off 128kbps streams into 32kbps or 56kbps files.  The DSP is smart enough also to know about song titles, and will save off the output MP3s named appropriately.  This plugin can take some serious CPU depending on the settings since it is essentially reecoding the stream in real time....So even if your source and destination bitrates are the same, it still has to reencode.

A quality setting is provided so that if your CPU is taxed, then you can turn up this number (a higher quality actually means "less quality" don't ask me, this is lame's parameter not mine) and reduce the stress on your CPU...

And just like StreamRipper32, you can save off your stream in a directory name based off the stream name.  Additionally, you can append a sequence number to the generated filename which has the effect of preserving the order in which songs were played.

Configuration Options

Well, there isn't much but these are the configurable options :

• Add StreamName to Output
  Takes the name of the stream and appends it to your output directory
• Output directory
  Duh, does this need to be explained ? It *must* be created first.....(I think)
• Add Sequence Nbr
  Prepends a sequence number to the generated MP3 file. Used to preserve ordering on the ripped stream.
• Bitrate
  The output bitrate
• Quality
  1 is high quality, 9 is low...the higher the quality the slower the encoding and more CPU is taken up.
• Frequency
  Frequency
• Stereo/MONO
