Urgent: Recording Bbc Listen Again Real Audio - Britmovie

Rob Compton · 30-06-2005, 10:36 PM

Slightly OTT, but I hope you'll forgive me. I need to keep a copy of a BBC recording at present on their Listen Again service. It's urgent I'm afraid as it'll only be there for another day or so.

Is there any way of doing this? Any freeware that can do it? If anyone's interested, the programme I have in mind is "I'm Sorry I'll Read that Again", broadcast last Monday - and before anyone mentions it, I know it'll be repeated this weekend, but for complex reasons I won't bore you with I wanted a copy on my PC asap.

Any thoughts anyone?

...I did of course mean "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue"! It's been a long day!

thanks
Rob

You want a free program called opd2d.
Go here:
opcode - direct to disk audio

Alternatively, I have recorded on to mini disc by connecting the MD player's line-in socket to the headphone socket on the PC and recorded shows as they are playing. This method can also be used for recording to ye olde cassette tape too!

Many thanks both. Plasticjock, I've downloaded the software, recorded the show, but now can't play it back! There's definitely a file there, with data in it, but neither Real Player or Win Media Player will play it - with Real Player I get the message

"This clip cannot be played. It contains unexpected data and may be corrupt"
Any thoughts anyone? What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks again
Rob
