I often listen to di.fm online radio (url is http://scfire-dtc-aa06.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1035 ) with vlc player. Streaming is a mp3 over http.

I want to record all track names that are played on this radio. My vlc does show track name, but when the next track is played, the name is lost.

I'll use this track names to do some statistics (like top10) and to find some tracks, which's name I didn't remembered fully.

Is the task possible with vlc? with another windows client? How can I achieve this?

I need not to save the actual music (audio), only Tags of music (text). – osgx Jun 12 '11 at 0:16

VLC includes support for submitting tracks to Last.fm. If you sign up at Last.fm and enter your password to VLC preferences, played tracks will be recorded in your Last.fm profile, even with statistics.

(I'm not actually sure if this works with streams, though. It might be for local files only.)

I hav no last.fm and want not to register. How can I submit track names to the local file? I can do all stats by myself (i hav excel, perl and awk for this). – osgx Jun 12 '11 at 12:38

Still don't know how to make this locally with vlc or any stream client, but I used wget + cron to get "3 just played songs" from web-site of this radio into text files.
