Record
You can record when listening to radio streams. With these options you can configure where the recordings are stored and the recording format and quality. With Split tracks on (the default) each track announced by the stream is written to its own file, named after the tags; with it off the whole recording goes to one file named after the station and the time the recording started — see Record. Also Guayadeque has a unique feature allowing to delete tracks when the length is no longer than the specified. This allows you to automatically delete the ads.
See Record for how to record a station.
Encoding mode
Choose how the recording is encoded:
- Bitrate (CBR) — constant bitrate encoding. The selected quality maps to a fixed bitrate in kbit/sec (mp3: 320/256/192/160/128/112/96/64; ogg: 512/384/320/256/224/192/128/96).
- Quality — variable bitrate encoding. The selected quality maps to the encoder's quality scale (mp3: 0=best … 9=worst; ogg: 1.0=best … 0.1=worst).
The default mode is Bitrate (CBR).
Quality
Eight levels are available, from top to bottom:
- Very High
- Higher
- High
- Good
- Normal
- Low
- Lower
- Very Low
The meaning of each level depends on the Encoding mode selected above.
Other options
- Save to: folder where recordings are written.
- Format: mp3, ogg or flac.
- Split tracks — on by default, each announced track goes to its own file.
- Delete tracks shorter than — automatically delete recordings no longer than the given number of seconds (useful to remove ads).
