7.7 Stream Grabbers
Streamripper
Streamripper records shoutcast streams. If the stream contains track info (meta data), streamripper creates a
separate file for each track.

Wget
GNU Wget is a freely available network utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web using HTTP and
FTP, the two most widely used Internet protocols. It works non−interactively, thus enabling work in the
background, after having logged off.
Wget is far more than a stream grabber!

7.8 Misc
Volume Normalization
Wavnorm
If you have encoded live audio, or have encoded from older cd's you may find variations in the overall sound
level.
To change the encoded volume levels of the MP3's you will need to normalise them using wavnorm.
