Icecast recorder

Script for downloading a stream from IceCast-compatible servers. Uses information from icy protocol to split stream into separate tracks

screenshot

Usage

As in the screenshot.

Python3 is required. No additional dependencies.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jipok/icecast_recorder/master/icecast_recorder.py
chmod  x icecast_recorder.py

./icecast_recorder.py STREAM_URL

Tips

  • You can find links to streams inside pls/m3u playlists intended for media players
  • Although the script saves files with the mp3 extension, it doesn't really know anything about the content
    • It can be any format, just change ".mp3" on line 78
  • Track boundaries are not very accurate. You can hear a couple of seconds from another track at the beginning or end of the current
  • If you are interested in the description of the protocol, then see cast.readme.io/docs/icy
