record last.fm radio with foobar

I found a weird applciation of some foobar components that allows you to record last.fm radio.

I posted about foo_lastfm_radio earlier, the component let's you not just stream, but sample from a playlist of like 4-8 songs on average. interestingly you can also copy this stream using the foo_converter component. the converter tool automatically comes with foobar. just select any number of songs in the playlist, and then use the converter utility to download the songs.



unfortunately, this method generates transcodes, because of the converter utility, but if you don't care very much about the quality, then this method works pretty well. unfortunently, you cannot use foo_fileops to 'copy' the file from the last.fm radio but there might be a way to copy the radio stream without transcoding it.
