Hi Mr. Guvernment,
Generally speaking streaming audio is secure data. Meaning that you can only hear it once or at least that's what the software developers would like. The best way to get around this type of security is to hack the drivers. I am aware of absolutely 0 popular programs that speak directly to Audio hardware in Windows. Almost all of these program use Direct Sound, which then speaks to the drivers, that in turn output sound through your hardware. If you have a popular audio card like something ISA bus from creative labs I wouldn't be at all suprised if you were able to find a some people that wanted to write an open source wrapper to record secure audio. However all that aside there are far simpler ways of doing it. You could buy a Male-Male audio cable. Take the Line out and plug it into the line in. While listening to your favorite shows you could then use any good audio recorder (Audacity is the best freeware option, Cool Edit Pro is the best commerical choice) and record the music. If you want to be able to hear the music at the same time you're listening to it you'll need to buy a splitter which is very common.
Have fun recording,

I don't know if this is exactly what you want, but, X-Ripper will record nearly anything coming through the sound card. I must have tried 10-20 other programs, but, this one just works. Downside... it's not freeware, but, $17 isn't excessive.

Hi Jim and Mr. Guvernment,
I just wanted to laugh, and say my solution is open source and multi-platform so there! No, seriously the program he has mentioned may be a better solution. I know what I described will work 100% of the time if your audio-out and audio-in features are set up correctly. The tool he mentioned will not. However in all fairness there is a downside to what I have recommended, I don't think that you'd be able to record surround sound using the method I've described, unless your card has surround -in (which I suppose would be at least two audio jacks) as well. Also my solution won't work if you have an S-PDif connector, however it may indeed work if you adjust my instructions for the newer interface.

Here's a free one that works as a winamp plugin: Streamripper. I haven't tried it, but it looks like exactly what you need!
streamripper! that is what a friend was trying to tell me about!
well, i just realised as well...LOL stupid me!!!!
i got a 2 computers, the one already runs audio out into my dell, and i can simply use my dell to record from the line in!!>.lol
i know it could be done, with free software - as i used to always do it with my old comp and my sound blaster software or just did an audio out to my tape deck.
thn x guys! shall see what i can do!

streamripper works like a charm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stream ripper will work well you might also want to check out
Total Recorder www.totalrecorder.com
Soundforge www.sonicfoundry.com
Most groups use Sound Forge to rip off the radio, but stream ripper will work fine for ripping audio streams.
I like DJ Ciocomix off of DI.FM he is a good trance DJ. Not as well known as most big name DJs but still is good in his mixing.
