Normally, to listen to a song on the Internet, you need to download the entire file
onto your hard disk first — before you can even hear the music.
Internet radio stations can, however, make it more convenient for you to enjoy
downloaded music: they employ "streaming" technology by which music data flows
like a "stream" to your audio card directly, bypassing permanent hard disk storage.
Thus, the song starts to play as soon as a portion of its data stream has arrived at
your audio card. The downside of streaming technology was that you could not
record the music onto your hard disk for future reference.
Audio Stream Recorder 2 (ASR2) is designed to overcome this problem by letting
you record streaming audio onto your hard disk as standard MP3 or WMA files.
To use ASR2, select from its predefined list of radio stations to listen to. You can click
the red Record button to start recording music to your hard disk, or use the Schedule
feature to program the computer to record streaming music unattended. You can
also use ASR2 to listen to selected radio stations live by clicking the blue Play button.

When you need to edit sound files, use Creative Wave Studio. This application
supports popular file formats like WAV and AIFF. With Wave Studio, you can convert
between file formats and edit out any section of sound. Apply effects like fade-in/
fade-out. You can also use it to blend two or more songs into a single file.
