There may well be hackers who know how to download the entire audio
file, and my method may seem crude by comparison. I use a freeware
application called 'Free Sound Recorder', and it works well. The new
version is available at:
http://download.cnet.com/Free-Sound-Recorder/3000-2168_4-10698910.html
It simply records anything that comes through the sound card. The
Westminster audio is just over 2 hours, so it would take some time,
but the results are surprisingly good, depending of course on the
quality of the sound card, and in most modern systems the sound chip
is more than adequate.
You need to make sure that 'Stereo Mix' is enabled in Vista. (Start
Menu/Control Panel/Sounds). Also make sure that "Classic View" is
enabled in Control Panel.
When the program is installed and set up with default format and
quality, default save location etc, run it, start recording, then run
the westminster.asx file. Stop after a few minutes and play the saved
file to make sure all is working ok.
It would be simpler and much more convenient to download the file
itself, and someone here may have a method for doing that.
One thing that you need to consider is that any audio that the system
generates (alerts, speaking clocks etc) will be recorded, so those, if
any, need to be disabled. And depending on the bit rate you choose,
you may end up with a single very large file.
