Radiocap

Software for scheduled sound recording on linux

Radiocap is a GUI frontend to sox, oggenc, and lame for recording audio with a soundcard (WAV, Ogg, and MP3). It has a built in timer for scheduled capturing of radio programs. Recording levels are always displayed (even when recording has not started), which helps when adjusting the input gain.

3. Download

License: Common Public License v 1.0

Source: radiocap0.1b.tar.gz

(This will only work on x86 linux because of the swt binaries included)

Binaries: ./files ... download and unpack the executable gunzip radiocap_bin_static.gz
(one monolithic binary - does not require libgcj).
Start: Should work with every new linux distribution - just click on the executable in your filemanager.

4. Installation (from Source)

1. make a directory for the source-files...

cd /tmp
mkdir build
cd build

tar -xzvf radiocapXXX.tar.gz

3. build the application...

cd radiocap
make

5. Start (when installed from source)

A radiocap.desktop link for starting the application is installed in /usr/share/applications. Use your filemanger to browse to this location and pull a copy of the link to your desktop.

Start: If no other application is blocking the soundsystem you should see the recording levels. Use a mixer-application (aumix or kmix...) tho adjust the input levels.
