Streamripper
Streamripper records
shoutcast-compatible streams. For shoutcast style
streams it finds the "meta data" or track separation data, and uses
that as a marker for where the track should be separated.
Streamripper allows you to download an entire station of
music. Many of
these MP3 radio stations play certain genres, so you can
download an entire collection of goa/trance music, an entire collection
of jazz, punk rock, whatever you want.
Streamripper was started in early 2000 as a way to separate
tracks via
Shoutcast's title-streaming feature. This has now been expanded into a
much more generic feature, where part of the program only tries to
"hint" at where one track starts and another ends, thus allowing an MP3
decoding engine to scan for a silent mark, which is used to find an
exact track separation.
Streamripper automatically splits tracks based on detection of
a silent near the meta interval where the track changes.
Features include:
- Rips the following streams:
- .mp3 Shoutcast
- .mp3 Icecast
- .nsv (Nullsoft Streaming Video)
- .aac Shoutcast/Icecast
- .ogg
