Record and save music as MP3 or OGG from Internet radio stations
streamWriter is a free application for windows that records music broadcasted by internet radio stations.
streamWriter ships with support for thousands of Internet Radio stations and capabilities to add stations that it does not ship with.
Adding new stations to the app is as simple as copying and pasting urls. All you need to do is copy the url of the radio station that you want to listen to and record, and paste it into the Playlist/Stream-Url field in streamWriter.
The station is then saved to the radio database and available from that moment on.
