You can record streaming audio using vlc player.
In the vlc toobar click View and check Advanced controls.
That will give you a red record button at the bottom.
What you hear is what you record.

HI "Doug B",

I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well.

It would help to know more about your system setup. If you run "inxi -Fxzd" and "lsusb" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.

"audio-recorder" and "SimpleScreenRecorder" (ssr) can easily record streaming audio and SSR can do audio and video

If you tell us what you are trying to do, there may be other very good options as well.

*** "audio-recorder" - How To Record Streaming Audio in Ubuntu Linux - It's FOSS ***
https://itsfoss.com/record-streaming-audio/

To install "audio-recorder" using their PPA method, open a console terminal, type in, or copy & paste, each line below one by one: Click "Select All" above command, right click the highlighted command, select Copy (or Ctrl+Insert), click in the console terminal window, and right click paste ("Shift+Insert" or "Ctrl+Shift+v"), repeat for each command.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:audio-recorder/ppa

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install audio-recorder
OR download and use a Linux deb file.

Linux Mint 19.x 64-bit deb file, save and double-click to install
https://launchpad.net/~audio-recorder/+ ... _amd64.deb
Linux Mint 19.x 32-bit deb file, save and double-click to install
https://launchpad.net/~audio-recorder/+ ... c_i386.deb
.
.
Linux Mint 18.x 64-bit deb file, save and double-click to install
https://launchpad.net/~audio-recorder/+ ... _amd64.deb
Linux Mint 18.x 32-bit deb file, save and double-click to install
https://launchpad.net/~audio-recorder/+ ... l_i386.deb

Hope this helps ...

all41, where does VLC store the recording after clicking the "red" button?
Thanks.

I think by default it stores in your /home/username directory.
You can look in the toolbar/Tools/Preference and under the Input/Codecs page it is shown
for Files/Record directory or filename window.
You can make the path anything you want there.

This doesnt do everything but it DOES at least do youtube, it is GUI...you will have to experiment with other sites via copy and paste to the application from the address bar...all you do is when your into the youtube video/audio you want, just copy and paste from the address bar of what your viewing and paste it to ClipGrab bar and then click "grap this click it will then ask you where you want it to go...just choose and say save...DAMIEN

on youtube it does streaming video with the audio so yes, if you want music videos and movies at least from YT, it will do so.

Install Clip/Grab

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:clipgrab-team/ppa

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install clipgrab

You're welcome. I had modified mine to record to an additional internal hdd (spinner),
but /home/username/Music is a logical default location.

It can be done with Audacity, it can record anything going through your sound card.
