On the previous forum I once remarked that if I used Windows Media Player 9 as the default m3u player that I could them save the stream as an mp3 file. Someone wrote that the same could be done with Winamp. I have version 2.5 but if I use it as the default m3u player I can't find the option that allows the stream to be saved. I have to use Winamp in order to get the online radio stream of t[]c's music but I like to save other streams as mp3's so I can listen to them any time. Can someone help me? :music:

Well if you want to save the mp3s from a .m3u stream its fairly simple. Just save the m3u to your hard drive and open it in notepad. The address to the mp3 should be right there. ;)

Right-click on the track in the playlist and select "file info" and there you see the url of the mp3 that is streaming copy+paste it in your browser.
