How to record radio show from the Internet and burn it onto a CD ? COMMERCIAL SOLUTION

In this tutorial we will show you detailed step by step instructions on how to record a radio show from the Internet and after that burn it onto a CD to be able to listen to it at any CD-player. It's very easy to perform the announced task with the help of AVS Audio Tools software. There will be two applications needed to work with: they are AVS iRadio Recorder and AVS Audio CD Creator (included inside AVS Audio Tools).







Run AVS iRadio Recorder.

STEP 1:   Getting started

After clicking the iRadio Recorder icon in AVS Audio Tools Manager AVS iRadio Recorder wizard starts with the Step 1 window. You will find a list of default stations, randomly picked. You can choose a station from this list or select the Search Other Stations option to carry out a radio station search. Here you can also delete the stations from default Favorites list.

 


When you select the Search Other Stations option, the AVS iRadio Recorder will open the station search window:



Here you can configure your search options. Select Top 10! option to show the list of ten most sited radio stations or Most Popular to pick from a list of 20 most popular stations. Select Advanced option to configure advanced search. At this step you can search stations according to Genre, Bitrate, by Keywords. You can also choose the number of stations to be reflected within a single page. The maximum stations display number is 100.

Click Start Search button to search for the stations after you finished configuring search parameters. After you have searched for the stations, pick the one you need to record from. Click Listen to make sure you have found the station you need. You can also add stations to the Favorite list, and they will be displayed at the startup of the AVS iRadio Recorder.

After everything is ready, you can click Next>> to proceed to the second step.



STEP 2:   Configure recording options

At Step Two of the AVS iRadio Recorder program you can set the recording options:



  • Manual - use this option to control the recording manually.
  • Auto Split By Name - use this option to split the audio stream automatically according to the name of the played song into separate files.
  • Run Schedule - use this option to schedule your recording session.

If you are scheduling your recording session, you should specify the time of the beginning and end. Make sure that beginning time is not earlier than your current time! You can also enable or disable auto split by song name option, ticking the corresponding check-box under the time settings. After you finished please click the the Next>> button to pass to the Recording and verification step.




STEP 3:   Recording and verification

When you have configured recording options and passed to Step 3, AVS iRadio Recorder changes to a recording window:



The radio will start playing after you mark the Turn On Radio check-box. To mute the sound check the Mute check-box. To start the recording press the Record button. To pause or stop the recording press the Stop or Pause button accordingly.

After you finished recording you can verify the newly recorded file to make sure the quality is good.

Please use the following buttons to verify your file:

To playback the selected file

To pause the selected file

To stop the selected file

To go to the previous track

To go to the next track

You can also edit the resulting files with the help of the AVS Ringtone Maker program. To do that click the Edit button to launch the application.

AVS iRadio Recorder also allows you to modify extra text information in existing files. To do that click the File Info button and the Information window will appear.



Here you can change all of the available details such as Track number, Title, Artist, Album, you can add any Comment, specify Year and Genre.

If for some reason you are not satisfied with the quality (for example, there were connection drops while recording which resulted in music skips) you can go back and do another recording.

After the necessary files are recorded, it's time to burn them. For that we should run AVS Audio CD Creator.



STEP 4:   Adding files and burning audio CD

After clicking the AVS Audio CD Creator icon in AVS Audio Tools Manager AVS Audio CD Creator wizard starts with the Step 1 window. Please select the CD-RW drive you are going to use for audio CD creation. If you have only one CD-RW drive at your computer, it'll be chosen by default.



After that you should create a list of audio tracks you want to burn onto a CD clicking the Add file(s) button:



To add or remove files from the list please use the Add file(s) and Remove file(s) buttons accordingly. If you right click the list of audio tracks you can find an additional menu, which allows you to perform the following operations:

Operation Keyboard Shortcut
Add file(s)... Ins
Delete file(s) Del
Select all Ctrl+A
Invert selection Ctrl+I

You can also change the files order using the Track up and Track down buttons.

It is possible to see the size of added files with the help of Size Control Bar:



To make sure you've chosen the correct file you can play it directly from AVS Audio CD Creator. To do that highlight the necessary file in the file list and use the following buttons:

To playback the selected file

To pause the selected file

To stop the selected file

To go to the previous track

To go to the next track

It is also possible to rewind or fast-forward the selected file using Seeking Bar. Just click the Seeking Bar cursor and drag it.

The writing process will start after clicking Burn>> button. You can visually judge the completion of writing process.

You can also cancel writing process clicking the Cancel button. Note, that it's impossible to cancel writing during Buffer filling or Closing Track operation.

As a result you will have an audio CD that can be played on most of the hardware CD players.
