HI,
I am new to Audacity. Before downloading it, I have got a question.
Does it record audio when the URL is not located (as it is often the case with copy protected stuff)?
Thanks for the reply.

I didn't understand your question... What are you exactly trying to record and from where?

Many programs will record "Audio Playing On The Computer," the restriction is usually in Windows Control Panels, not Audacity. Modern Windows installs make it very difficult to record "internal audio" and Macs don't have this ability at all.

Hi Bgravato,
I'll try to be more explicit this time. Go to this site
http://radio3.cbc.ca/#/music/ An audio stream will autuomatically start to play. You can stop it and play other music items proposed on the page (with play button). Now, when you play them, you don't have access to their URLs (stream address). One can just listen online through webplayer.
Is it still possible to record them with Audacity?

Maybe.
For doing what you want with Audacity is irrelevant if you can see the url or not. You need to configure Audacity to record what's playing on the computer. Audacity then will record any sound playing on the computer regardless of where it comes from (webpage, program, game, video, etc).
To achieve that you need to select Stereo Mix as the recording device. Whether this is available or not depends on what operating system you have (windows, mac, linux), which version of the OS and the drivers for your soundcard.
Check this topic on the wiki:

Does it help?
