Teac WAP-4500 - Manual (Page 18)

7.2 Recording of Internet Radio contents
WAP-4500 can record the contents of the actual playing internet radio station and
store it as an audio file onto your USB storage device.
NOTE: for the recording function, an USB storage with free available memory
connected to WAP-4500 SMR is required! The USB storage must not be separated
from SMR during the recording session!
ATTENTION: please consider the recording requires – depending from datastream
quality – apprx. 0.5-3 MB memory per minute! It is recommended to provide plenty
of USB storage memory when starting a recording!
●
Start Internet Radio playback as explained above.
●
Press the OPTIONS button (3) and select “Record
to USB Storage“ from the options menu.
●
Press the OK button (7) to start the recording.
Recording is working! Playback of internet radio is
continued at the same time.
●
To stop the recording, call the OPTIONS menu and
select “Stop Recording“.and press OK.
●
The recording will be stored under an automatically
created track name, which contains the station
name, date and running number. The File can be
found in the root directory of your USB storage.
NOTE: in case of reception interruptions during a recording session, the actual file
will be closed and the recording is continued in another file once the received audio
stream continues. Since WAP-4500 can playback audio files in a row “gapless“
(without interruptions between tracks), the resulting tracks (files) can playback
smoothly in one turn, under the precondition there was no data loss during the
recording session.
The digital audio stream will be recorded to the USB storage exactly as it is received
from internet radio station. Therefore, the provided audio quality is not changed
during the recording session.
In internet radio data stream there is no standard marking for tracks separation.
Therefore, the data stream is recorded without blanks in a single file (comparable to
a classic tape recording of radio broadcast). For long recordings. it can be useful to
note down the radio station informations, in case they are provided.
If you require renaming, cutting and transcoding of a recording, this can easily be
done with your USB storage connected to a PC. There are numerous audio editing
programs available from commercial and from free sources.
A famous example of a free Audio Editor is “Audacity“.
