Can you record streaming audio from the Internet?

Why yes you can...just the way that you think you should be able to. What you'll need is a program that does it.
It is not quite the same as old style recording...where you would, say, connect a cassette recorder to your radio. Since you're using a computer, obviously the idea is to capture the audio into a file. Once you have the file, you can do whatever you want with it.
It took me probably an hour to find a free streaming audio recorder program that a.) was still there; b.) was still free; c.) still worked; and, importantly, d.) recorded more than 60 seconds' worth of sound.
All of the "try me for free" programs I actually downloaded and installed, were a waste of time unless of course you intend to record only 40 to 60 seconds of audio anyway.
Finally I came across two programs that worked.
This is the best one:
FREE Hi-Q Recorder
The free version has unlimited recording capacity. Naturally, some of the advanced features don't work in the free version. For example, you can't program it to record something later on; you can only record whatever you're playing now. The paid version is only $30 US so, I guess they figure if you do a lot of this sort of thing, you'll spring for that.
The second one is here:
Xstream Radio
This is actually a radio. Hence, you are limited to recording from whatever is playing on that radio. If you are also looking for an Internet radio program anyway, then you might want to check this out.
For your reference, both programs were found here:
Freeware Guide, Audio, Streaming Audio
Note: I have no affiliation with any of these sites or companies. I scanned whatever I downloaded for viruses and so forth but I highly recommend that you do your own scanning and always be careful what you choose to download.
