Favorite Stream Rippers
………………………………………………….
When RealPlayer launched back in 1995, it was mostly used to provide consumers with streaming audio and video content without giving them a local copy. Its feature set has grown considerably in recent years, but it’s still surprising to see a new RealPlayer 11 beta version that lets users record YouTube videos and Internet radio directly to their hard drives.
Recording streaming media is nothing new, of course. Open-source app Streamripper has been letting users record Shoutcast radio for many years, and my favorite audio player, Quintessential Player, can automatically record nearly any audio stream.
Extensions for Mozilla Firefox like Ook Video Ook allow you to save any embedded content in a Web page, including YouTube videos and audio streams, whereas VideoDownloader focuses more on simply downloading all online videos.
RealPlayer’s emergence into the stream-ripping genre is a definite validation of the concept, though the legal issues around the topic seem far from settled.

I use Audacity ( Free)
Audacity (free)
You can use it to record songs off of internet radio and then save them to a CD. You can also use it to transfer vinyl records and cassettes to a CD. There are many other features.

How do I download and install the LAME MP3 encoder?
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3
http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/soft/lame_enc.dll
A file needed by Audacity to export recordings from Audacity to MP3 format. Save this on your hard-drive, then browse to it from Audacity when prompted.
I saved lame_enc.dll and readme.txt files in lame_enc directory.
