[gui-talk] IE9 Download and Recording through the sound card in Windows 7

[Dean Martineau]

Basically, you can't record streams like to used to be able to do using
Vista or win7.  For recording radio programs, I recommend Replay A/V, which
captures the stream before it gets to the soundcard.

Peter,

Regarding capturing sound under Windows 7, I have not been able to get a
clear answer for this, but I 
believe some of the What you Hear options that we used to have are no longer
there in Windows 7.  
Windows 7 tightened up some things to comply with Digital Rights Management
so that one cannot easily 
capture material that the author does not want captured.  It is my
understanding that Total Recorder 
still works, but I believe there even some limitations there under Windows
7.  I have frankly not really 
investigated this thoroughly, though, so it is possible there are obvious
ways around this of which I am 
not aware.  However, if you are looking at wanting to save material that you
are listening to on a 
stream, you may need to look for specific solutions for that rather than
just using the "What you Hear" 
option.  Again, some of what I have stated above may not be correct and
there could be solutions I have 
not found, but I thought I would share what I have found so far.  There may
also be different options 
with different sound cards.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
