Solution

Maybe you should read audio stream "byte by byte" and then place it into new file? Like a simple file copy operation, using inputstream-outputstream.

Problem

My favorite Radio station plays a radio audio stream in mp3 format. In my android application I can receive and play it without any problem. How can I implement a recording function? I want to record the mp3 radio stream to my Android phones SD-Card. I tried the MediaRecorder Class without any result... Android Developer: MediaRecorder ... ``` mRecorder = new MediaRecorder(); mRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.DEFAULT); mRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.DEFAULT); ``` ... Unfortunately I cannot choose something like: `mRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MP3_STREAM);` ... ;-) How can I record a mp3 radio stream? Thanks for any help or code snippets...
