    Hello there,

    I'm trying to rip the TripleJ online radio stream using the following command.

    streamripper http://www.abc.net.au/res/streaming/audio/aac/triplej.pls -l 10
    

    Streamripper seems to download some stuff, but after the 10 second break I only get gibberish. How do I check if the stream has the right format for streamripper? TripleJ offer more streams than just this one:

    http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/media/listen.htm?show=listen#

    Can I rip one of these with streamripper?

    Thanks for any help in advance!

    That is not a Shoutcast stream.

    Download the .pls file (it is a 'playlist') and look inside. You find e.g.
    File1=http://shoutmedia.abc.net.au:10326/
    Use this URL for streamripper and it should work.

    BTW, is there any coding activity (and if yes: where) ?
    Should be easy to support different playlist formats directly.

      Nope, sadly that doesn't work either, it records just gibberish like when I try with the original link.
