StreamRipper 1.64.6 is a Audio Recorder product from streamripper.sourceforge.net, get 5 Stars SoftSea Rating, Streamripper records shoutcast-compatible streams. For shoutcast style streams it finds the "meta data" or track separation data, and uses that as a marker for where the track should be separated.
Streamripper first connects to the stream in question, this happens over TCP (not UDP). For Shoutcast-style streams it finds the "meta data" or track separation data (defined by a meta-interval), and uses that as a marker for where the track should be separated.
The data is buffered back about 10-30 seconds. When a track has changed, it goes back through its buffer, decodes the mp3 data in that buffer then looks for a silent point of the audio. It uses that silent point as a place to separate the tracks. The license of this audio & mp3 software is Freeware, you can free download and free use this Audio & MP3 software.
