Importing ASF files and Windows Media Server
Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2010 3:21 pm
BACKGROUND:
About a year and a half ago... 2 years, maybe, I would record an internet streamed radio station program (BYU Radio) with iRadio. Because it was streamed with Microsoft Media Server, I could only save it to big, long .asf files, and it wouldn't break the whole recorded file into songs. I would then, use Audacity or WavePad to copy the wave forms for each song, and save them as MP3 files. It worked great (however, time consuming).
NOW:
Now, I come back to do it some more, and when I open .asf files, recorded the same way, the wave forms are all munched together - and when I try to just play them, a 60 minute file plays in about 2 seconds (and you know how that sounds!). I get the same results when I open the recorded .asf file in Audacity or WavePad.
Is there some setting that the internet radio station (Windows Media Server) could have used to prevent stream ripping?
Is there a setting within Audacity to salvage this scenario? I would just like to pick up where I left off.
What else would have changed? What else should I look for?
Much appreciated!
