"listen live" trick

[sjwenger]

Here's a trick for when you're listening to a "listen live" radio station over the internet with "realplayer." If you tuned in after the piece started, or if you just want to hear it again: there's a line across the computer screen that shows how long you've been listening. You can "grab" the playline with your cursor and drag it back, and even when the actual radio has finished the piece, you can hear it again and again by dragging the playline back. You can't do it retroactively - you have to be on-line while the piece is playing in real time to catch the playline, but until you stop, you can replay it all day until you let it end.

and if you have a recording software like jet audio you can record the music with a great quality so you can store it in your computer and listen to it as much times you want, you can also burn it on a cd audio by the same software.
