Can you record using dial-up?

Post by andrewsjerrypat »

A question from a novice.
Can you record the audio streaming shows from Margaritaville, etc.,
using Total Recorder or equivalent if all you have is a dial-up connection.
Thanks

You can---I used to.
You probably can't do anything else because you will get lots of buffering.
Good luck :D

I used to do it all the time but the sound quality is not as good since the bit rate is lower for dialup. Be sure to check the remove silence option in recording sources and parameters, otherwise you may get a lot of gaps in the recording on dialup.

Same answer here...I had dial-up but the buffering would drive me crazy. I haven't had much trouble since I switched to high speed.
