Can this "Total Recorder" truly Rip? That is, does it intercept the digital
data going to the sound card?

Yes. I use Total Recorder to rip BBC programmes to MP3s on-the-fly
all the time. BBC's players are java-downloaded media players in
webpages.....but, alas, to hear them they MUST send wav data to the
soundcard, through the Total Recorder proxy engine, which acts like a
T in a pipe.....(c;

A 700MB CDR will play 10-12 hours of BBC Radio (insert number here) if
you just let it run. Why do you think the copyright moguls are so
intent on making it illegal to broadcast over any internet radio

Great buy at so cheap a price.....with lifetime free upgrades, too!
Every time Total Recorder comes out with a new version, I get an email
to go get it on my license.

Any recorder will work. Just set the record source to Stereo Mixer
(whatever is set up on playback volume control) and record with
whatever tool you wish. I use CoolEdit, and save as mp3.
