Record "what you hear" freeware

I'd like to be able to record various internet sound files to mp3 so I can save them and listen to them on my Ipod or put them on a cd.

Anyone know of any good freeware that will do this?

I'm using Windows Vista, so that may be a problem.....I do have Audacity but for some reason I keep getting an error when I try to record.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Don't use that software! It screwed up my machine by adding an additional program! My task bar wouldn't work and I couldn't click on anything, plus it was running my hard drive constantly and running my CPU on full. I had to restart in safe mode and run system restore to make it stop.

I'm running Vista 64 bit.

There's a setting in Windows somewhere that re-enables that functionality in Audacity on Vista.

Tried the Ask toolbar, there was some bug with Vista and it wouldn't work.

you can use audacity and you dont need vista
hit up preferences and change the field under recording to your soundcard

shuldve read your post, theres probably still somethign wrong witht he settings, but audacity should work perfectly

+1 for mp3mymp3. Works wonders.

When I try this, there's no device listed under Recording.

Conclusion, Vista sucks.
