- This documents how to get you up, running and using StreamRipper.
-
-
-
- Well, it's pretty straightforward...Select a genre from the Genre
-
- dropdown and then hit the "Refresh List" button. This will then go
-
- out to Shoutcast (yp.shoutcast.com) and pull the streams and put them
-
- into the Listbox. Select a broadcast by double-clicking. This will
-
- put the IP address and Port in the appropriate boxes on the screen.
-
-
-
- You can also manually enter an IP and Port if you want to.
-
-
-
- To start ripping hit "Rip Away" (duh) and StreamRipper32 will try to
-
- connect to the broadcast and start ripping the stream.
-
-
-
- There are a few instances where this technique still does not work...
-
- Send me the broadcast IP and port and I can try to resolve them as they
-
- popup. Otherwise, try another station. Note that for only broadcasts that
-
- support title streaming will you be able to rip to filenames based off
-
- the stream title..Otherwise it will rip to a filename based off the
-
- Stream Name (i.e. the Broadcast name). Broadcasts that *appear* to
-
- support title streaming will appear with a "***" prepended to the name.
-
- This is not a guarantee, just a best guess...It still may not support
-
- title streaming even though there is a "***" in front of it...
-
-
-
- If you check the "Append stream name to output dir" option, then
-
- StreamRipper32 will create a directory for you based off the Stream Name.
-
- This is especially nice and a bonus feature.. :)
-
-
-
- You will not be able to select another broadcast or start another ripping
-
- session while one is currently going on....Don't even try.
-
-
-
- Hitting the "OK" button closes the program.
-
-
-
- Make sure you put something in the "Output Directory" "C:\music" is good,
-
- but not supplying this is going to eventually frustrate the hell out of you.
-
- (where *is* my music going?)
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Nothing to do! Just create a dir to hold it and copy the exe there.

- ABOUT StreamRipper32:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- StreamRipper32 is essentially a windows-based front end around the
-
- streamripper library created by Jon Clegg (www.bigfreakinserver.com).
-
- I had to modify it slightly to work best with Win32, but the core logic is
-
- preserved. He did an awesome job figureing out the logic behind this, and
-
- deserves all the credit he can get...
