What it does :

• Saves shoutcast streams in MP3 files
• Saves shoutcast streams in one MP3 file with its cue sheet file
• Doesn’t consider text information that have seen recently (this is why I did it)
• Adds MP3 ID3 tags (ID3v1 and ID3v2) using TagLib#
• Reads M3U playlist streams

Note : This program was used to build WebRadioWatcher (only in french right now) which doesn’t do much than indexing all the played song by the webrados.

Edit : 11/11/2009 : I removed the other posts around this program. This is the only post about it. It describes the latest version of the stream ripping program I made.

Edit : 23/02/2010 : Updated the program to 0.2.5 to add the “-x” option. With it you can easily filter the “next song :” stream titles.
