CastRipper is a free Stream Ripper/Grabber (not direct sound recording program), which makes it easy to download SHOUTcast and Icecast streams. And it separates the received stream into individual songs automatically. CastRipper has a winner interface, you will find it very easy to navigate.

Features:

* Free drag and drop features
* A winner interface easy to navigate
* Download live online radio streams like Winamp SHOUTcast, Icecast
* Separates the received stream into individual songs by the output file´s size automatically
* Separates the received stream into individual songs by the song´s duration automatically
* Separates the received stream into individual songs and name songs by stream´s title automatically
* Names the individual songs automatically using the stream information
* Automatically parse streaming script such as .pls, .m3u to acquire real URLs
* Automatically tags songs with title, artist, album and genre information
* Use multi-threads to download file for HTTP to significantly reduce the time of downloads

mpgedit is an MPEG 1 layer 1/2/3 (mp3), MPEG 2, and MPEG 2.5 audio file editor that is capable of processing both Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR) encoded files. mpgedit can cut an input MPEG file into one or more output files, as well as join one or more input MPEG files into a single output file. Since no file decoding / encoding occurs during editing, there is no audio quality loss when editing with mpgedit. When editing VBR files that have a XING header, mpgedit updates the output file´s XING header information to reflect the new file size and average bit rate.

mpgedit operates in two modes: a command line and a curses-based, full-screen interactive shell. All editing functionality is available in both modes. The chief advantage of the interactive mode comes when using the playback feature for selection and verification of edit begin and end times, which is more rapidly performed interactively.
xmpgedit provides most of the same editing capabilities as the curses-mode mpgedit, but adds a graphical representation of the volume levels of mp3 file being being edited.

mpTrim is a simple and easy to use MP3 editor. Use it to improve your MP3 collection.

What exactly can mpTrim do for you?

* mpTrim can trim MP3s - removing silent or unwanted parts.
* mpTrim can adjust the volume of MP3s. Volume change can be manual or automatic (volume normalization).
* mpTrim can fade-in/out MP3s (to fix abrupt beginning/ending).
* mpTrim can clean-up MP3s and recover wasted disk space.
* mpTrim keeps the music quality intact, no matter how many times you process an MP3, because it works directly in the MP3 format without having to decode/re-encode. That also makes it very fast.

HarddiskOgg takes a wave input stream from any Windows 95/98/2000/XP compatible sampling device (including microphone input and line in) and converts it to an Ogg Vorbis/Wave/Monkey´s Audio/MP3 (optional) stream. This happens in realtime, so basically it is a harddisk recorder in Ogg Vorbis.

Features:

* Real-time encoding with bitrates from 32kbit/sec. up to 320kbit/sec.
* Stereo or mono recording from 8kHz to 48kHz
* Automatic numbering of output files
* Can be placed in the systray and activated by a single click
* Smart on-the-fly normalization for low-volume sources
* Uses the high quality, patent free Ogg Vorbis encoding engine. Ogg Vorbis easily outperforms MP3 in sound quality, especially at lower bit rates.
* LAME MP3 encoder compatible. However, due to patent issues HarddiskOgg ist not distributed with the LAME encoding DLL. If you want MP3 support, fetch LAME_ENC.DLL from the web, but make sure you have the appropriate rights for doing so.
* Command line mode for easy integration or scheduled recordings
* No fuss or stupid skinned interface, just works.
* HarddiskOgg is FREEWARE!

Vox Recorder is a Windows application which will allow recording sound from an audio source only when an audio signal is present. Its main purpose is to avoid the recording of the silence eventually present at the input.

Vox Recorder has been designed in particular for radio-scanner hobbists. If you are one of them, you already know how much time has to be spent when monitoring a new frequency: the traffic on the new channel is very sparse and communications are short, with long pauses between each one.

With Vox Recorder you can compress a whole day´s worth of monitoring onto a single .wav file.
You can leave the computer on and connected to a scanner at home while you are at the office or doing something else; later, you can listen the messages caught by your radio how many times you want. In this way you can quickly monitor suspicious channels and have all the "action" into a single audio file.
