Can I download mp3s from NPR shows?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Look for podcasts on the shows’ web sites or the iTunes store (they are free, even if they are in the iTunes store). If not available, you can record off a radio station’s Internet stream. I have used Replay AV for many years to do this and can highly recommend it. The same company has a free application, Freecorder, which I just discovered today. I haven’t tried it. At a glance, I think the big difference between Replay AV and Freecorder (besides $50) is scheduling. You set up times and stations for Replay AV, and it automatically grabs them. It looks like you have to hit the Start and Stop button with Freecorder. Replay AV http://www.applian.com/replay-av/index.php Freecorder http://www.applian.com/sound-recorder/
