Beatstrab 1.0

Beatstrab facilitates automated private copying of complete music albums using the soundcard. It records a continuous audio stream and then cuts the recorded stream into single tracks using silence detection and additional album information (acquired by webservice). Recording is easy by providing a Loopback-Mode (records what you hear when playing back music on your computer). Various output formats are supported (WAV, OGG, WAVPACK, MP3 by LAME) and can be tagged automatically.
Right after specifying which album you'd like to record, the complete track list and further meta information used for tagging is resolved by using a webservice which connects to an open music encyclopedia.
The advantage is, that by actually knowing the track lengths in advance, errors in cutting the tracks from the recorded stream can be minimized. The results are private music copies of very high quality made from virtually any audio medium. Please don't use this software for capturing of recordings from on-demand music streaming services (see the EULA for further information).
