This thread is for enthusiasts of the live streams from Makkah and Madinah, specifically with regards to recording them. You can share recording software details and URLs here.
WM Recorder version 8 is one free recorder available for download, but only records from urls that are in mms or http format.
Once downloaded and the .exe programme file run, and set-up complete, you should get the WMR icon somewhere. Click on it, it will ask if you want to run the file, click, run, yes, or allow as the case may be. This then gives the following:
Click URL (at the bottom in the middle)
This then gives the following:
Delete URL from the large space at the bottom. Copy and paste the link you're going to use to record from, into that large space, and then click Record.
If it's recording, it should look like this soon after clicking record:
When you want to stop recording, click Cancel/Abort*. Make a note of the file name, in this case New[117]. Now you can close the recorder by clicking the x at the top right.
Go to your hard drive via My Computer, (normally C drive?) and find the folder called MRecord.
Your recording should be in there, with the name given during the recording process, and you should be able to play it from there. On Vista you might have to change the file suffix from .asf to .asx for it to play.
* There is a lag time of about a minute, so only stop the recording at least a minute after you want it to.
Currently, for the Makkah/Madeenah streams, this is very choppy resulting in lots of tiny gaps in the recitation. I don't know if it's the links, the software, or something else.
Inshaa'Allah maybe we can find other software or links that work better, especially with Ramadhan coming up.
Please Note: The Makkah Live Link Above Has Problems Throughout The Year, Probably Something Related To Server Problems. I Have The Same Problem Many Times. I Use The mms Links To Record VIA Real Player But This Lags And Has Delays.
I Do Not Quite Understand How To Use The Program Above Properly Although I Downloaded It Only Today.

This is a clear message for mankind in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is only One God, and that those of understanding may take heed (14:52)
Indeed Allah knows, and you know not (16: 74, part)
If anyone is recording, please could you share the links you're using.
