This is a simple way around to have almost every song you need or to record a streaming music from a online radio station or something.

I needed some songs, which i did not had in my HDD. I then thought about the legal “all-music-playing-sites” like listen77.com raaga.com dishant.com smashits.com etc. These sites are HUGE (yeah, i mean it) databases of almost all songs.

But, i needed those songs as a mp3 or wav so that i may edit, cut and mix it with other tracks..But, those sites dont allow DOWNLOADING

I decided to take a way around and was successful with the following way.                                                                              (Please Note that this can be achieved through many other softwares too. But almost all of them are paid software; i am illustrating the tutorial using an efficient freeware.)

Get yourself the free, open source AUDACITY.

Download: http://is.gd/18L

and U MAY need Lame mp3 encoder to export as mp3 from Audacity; get it here:
DOWNLOAD: http://is.gd/18M

Logic 
Simple. We are about to record the sound that is playing through our speakers.

Now, the method.
••Install Audacity and Launch It.

••The main Audacity window will open

••At The top you’ll see two volume sliders (if you dont, go to View menu and select it)

••This is the important part. Next to those sliders, you’ll see a drop-down box to
select the recording input. Click on it and select “Wave Out Mix”.

••After selecting the “Wave Out Mix” the input volume slider will go to ‘0.1′. Dont increase it, KEEP IT LIKE THAT else get ur ears blown…Itz the appropriate level for our job.

First part is over, Second Part>>

••(example)go to www.raaga.com >> Enter a channel (select a language) >> Search for your favourite song(the search bar is there at the top) >> From the search result, click on the song title (of the song u want to record) and now, another browser window will open that is the song player

••At first, you’ll hav to wait a seconds (for buffering) and after that you might probably hear an ad or your slected song will start to play.

••SO, BEFORE CLICKING ON THE SONG TITLE , go to Audacity.

••In the Control Buttons in audacity Click the record button (RED) and it will start to record anything that plays thorugh the speakers..Now click on the song title and let the song play. After the song is completed, Stop RECORDING in audacity.

••Close the browser Window and we’ll do some final touch.

••Remove the extra silence or gap in the beginning of the track by just selecting that much portion and press DELETE on the keyboard. Do that until the waveform looks perfect without any gaps/silence.

••All u hav 2 do now is 2 xport it. Click File >> Export as mp3(or wav) >> Save IT.
(while xportng mp3s for 1st time you may b requird to locate the lame_enc.dll (the file u downloaded earlier)).

And Thatz all….Juz play the song and dance to the tune…

There have been a great demand to know how to compress and burn 2-5 movies on to a single layer DVD (4.7GB).
Even, i personally, was in search for this. Seeing the innumerable requests on this thread and also on various other forums i decided to work upon it an find a way around.
There may be some other way to do the same thing. I cant claim that “this is the best method”.
If anybody have got any other method, plz share them as comments or post the links..
