I haven't done it but I wonder if VLC might be a better choice for that ...

i looked up that alternative earlier but it wont work due to the fact that what i wanna record is not actually streamed radio stations i guess you can stay.there is certain sites where you can listen to songs but i dont trust the sites and i dont wanna download them.i use a website that converts youtube videos to mp3 but some songs are not on there so there are sites like user share etc and you can listen and download but i just wanna record whats being played then convert it.recordmydesktop works fine but for some reason it wont record the sound though. is there a command to configure the sound card or anything like that?

Sorry but I have no idea about that. Aren't there easier ways to get music?

LOL yes there are bu t many sites like myspace you can only listen and not download though that's what sucks and there not available anywhere else. mm i guess i have to do more digging around
