Strec is a streaming Internet radio recorder that will record MP3, AAC and Ogg Vorbis streams without quality loss (no need for re-encoding). It will optionally buffer songs in memory so even already played songs can still be saved in whole. I haven't yet made a webpage for it - I just finished writing the readme and zipping it up: hukka.furtopia.org/projects/strec/Strec.zipPlease see the included readme.txt for usage instructions. |

Thanks for another neat, well-behaved program. Feedback:
--Could you spare a second status line to display the name of the station as well as the song currently playing?
--When you jump from station to station and find a good song but don't pick it up from the beginning, you can't save the whole song. Maybe the color code should reflect the fact that such songs aren't completely buffered and can't be saved in their entirety.
--The system of nested M3U files baffles me. I went to an Icecast Directory web site (dir.xiph.org) to find stations, but some of the descriptions I type into Default.m3u become folders and others become station descriptions. It was also surprising that changes I typed at the end of Default appear at the top of the station list.

Thanks for the feedback. --Could you spare a second status line to display the name of the station as well as the song currently playing? Possibly, yeah. --When you jump from station to station and find a good song but don't pick it up from the beginning, you can't save the whole song. Maybe the color code should reflect the fact that such songs aren't completely buffered and can't be saved in their entirety. Good catch, will fix that when I update. --The system of nested M3U files baffles me. I went to an Icecast Directory web site (dir.xiph.org) to find stations, but some of the descriptions I type into Default.m3u become folders and others become station descriptions. It was also surprising that changes I typed at the end of Default appear at the top of the station list. Yeah, the playlist handling is kind of a quick hack for now until I can summon up the energy to make it useful. Anyway, when I feel like working on Strec again, I'll fix the color code thing and look into the other issues. Thanks. |

I played with Strec after a couple months away from it, and all the M3Us I got through xiph.org no longer work, though the M3Us in the Strec distribution still work. The M3U filenames from xiph might be personalized to me, as xiph has a neat listing including number of users, which they might track through M3U file. So they might be void if one changes PCs or deletes a cookie.
Anyway, I had to go back in and edit M3U files, yuck. My biggest wish for Strec is the ability to drag-and-drop an M3U onto the station list. I got my first MP3 from Europe through Strec, though I had to trim the ends. Most of the time its value is simply to identify artist and song name, and I cough up 94 cents to get the real MP3 through Walmart.com.

My biggest wish for Strec is the ability to drag-and-drop an M3U onto the station list. You can do this already, although now that I retested it it appears to be buggy - the drag is only accepted on some parts of the window and only if you drag 'away' from the station list widget. No idea what's causing that sort of behavior, but I'll fix it for the next version. |

Thanks, figured it out (or re-learned it). But it still only affects the current session. I hope you'll give us a way to customize the list of stations, including creating new categories/folders.

I hope you'll give us a way to customize the list of stations, including creating new categories/folders. It's near the top of the TODO list, it's just kind of dull to code that sort of stuff and since I don't personally need that feature I've been avoiding it. It'll get done for the next release, when I get around to it. |
