Streamripper

Streamripper is a simplistic audio application designed with a single goal in mind: to help you record live streams and save them on your computer for offline playback. It can be installed on all Windows platforms out there and is able to rip audio and video streams.

Portable utility

Streamripper is a portable program, which makes it an ideal candidate for being stored on USB flash drives or other portable media devices, carried with you, and opened on the target system without administrative privileges.
There’s no installation setup included in the process, you may run it by opening the executable file. You can uninstall it with a simple deletion task.

Simplistic looks

The program does not impress much in the visual department. It looks plain and outdated. All configuration settings are implemented in a single panel, so they are placed at your fingertips. There’s no support for a help manual, only a ‘Readme’ file that includes basic information about the tool’s ripping capabilities.

How it works

Streamripper offers you the possibility to rip audio and video streams by inputting the IP address and port number in the main window. The videos can exported to NSV file format, while the audio streams can be saved to MP3 file format.
You can specify the saving directory by manually inputting the location from your system (you cannot browse throughout your computer for selecting the output path).

Bottom line

All things considered, Streamripper integrates a basic suite of options for helping you rip audio and video streams. However, it still needs functionality and GUI improvements. It hasn’t been updated for a long time, so it may cause compatibility issues and all sorts of errors on newer operating systems like Windows 8.1.
