Publisher's description of Streamripper for Winamp 2 and 5

From Streamripper:

Streamripper is an open-source (GPL) plug-in for Winamp that connects to streaming MP3 servers such as Shoutcast and records the tracks to your hard drive as individual files. With the emergence of file-sharing protocols such as Napster and Gnutella, the average Internet user can download nearly any MP3 file quickly and easily. Streamripper, however, allows you to download an entire station of music from the Internet. After installation this plug-in can be activated in the preferences menu of your Winamp player.

Editor's review of Streamripper for Winamp 2 and 5

4.0 stars

This free plug-in for Winamp 2.x saves Shoutcast/Icecast streaming-MP3 audio in its native format and, most useful, lets you keep the original track tags. It installs easily in the Winamp plug-in directory. By default, it saves files to the desktop, so you should designate a better directory for your MP3 tracks. Ripping tracks is simple, only requiring you to choose a stream at Shoutcast.com. You can set size limits for tracks to rip. If you don't have a high-bandwidth connection, you can rip and listen at the same time in Winamp using the built-in relay server. The utility is somewhat rough around the edges, however, and suffers from poor documentation.

"Easy to use plugin for winamp."

by Shaker1978 on October 9, 2006

Pros: Quick and easy integration into Winamp. Automatically gets current Winamp source URL, which is recorded by clicking the Start-button. File-naming is configurable.

Cons: The file-naming doesn't work properly with the pattern I set up.

"Fiddly but useful"

by PVTele on July 13, 2007

Pros: Works well as basic streamripper for Winamp - but the combination is not as useful as say XMPlay's built-in stream save function.

Cons: Very fiddly to install and use - tries to take over and intercept every stream you play - quite strenuous effort required to defeat that! Nasty little command-line style window pops up when running - annoying and distracting. Winamp 5.35 is quite the best all-round media player, but (in my opinion) in this respect it falls far behind its close rival XMPlay.

"AWESOME RECORDER TO MP3"

by lehtusbphree on June 5, 2006

Pros: THIS IS AN AWESOME WAY TO RECORD SHOUTCAST TO AN MP3 IT MAKES A FILE FOR YOU AND NOT LIKE AUDACITY YOU CAN STILL SURF MYSPACE OR ANY OTHER WEB PAGE WHILE RECORDING AND IT'LL RECORD THE MUSIC WITH OUT RECORDING YOUR MESSENGER OR ANY OTHER NOISE ON THE NET. bUT IF YOU USE AUDACITY YOU CANT HAVE ANY OTHER NOISE COMING THROUGH YOUR SPEAKERS. BUT STREAM RIPPER WILL RECORD THE STATION ONLY.YOU CAN ALSO DELETE THE COMMERCALS OUT.

Cons: REMEMBER YOUR VOLUME HAS TO BE AT THE RIGHT LEVEL OR YOU'LL GET FEEDBACK OR DISTORTION AND IT'LL SOUND LIKE SHYT. TRY IT ABOUT 25 TO 60 DEPENDS ON BIT RATE. LOWER 54 TO 96 BIT RATE HIGHER VOLUME 128 OR ABOVE RECORD AT A LOWER VOLUME.
