How can I capture an Internet Radio Stream using Windows Media Player?

Question

I have an internet radio stream that I need to capture: http://www2.mcot.net/radio/fm_1005.asx

For some reason I cannot open in using VLC Media Player.

But it opens just fine in Windows Media Player.

Is there a way to capture an internet radio stream using Windows Media Player?

Hi @Vaccano - remember, it's VLC and not VCL - this will help index your questions properly and for VLC fans and experts to find them! I'll do you an edit.
@linker3000- Duh! <Palm to Forehead>. Sorry I did not get that when you told me on my other question... Thanks for the correction. I will get that right for future questions.

I've used Replay Media Catcher in the past, although that's commercial; try free alternatives.

Audacity should do the trick nicely

	You need to have "Stereo Mix" as a recording device to use Audacity. Sadly, I do not. I guess I could get a cable and link my headphones out to my line in... but I was hoping for a non-harware solution... – Vaccano Aug 23 '11 at 17:12
	Hi, let us know, which OS do you use. In Win7 there is a trick to get the Stereo Mix working. – Juhele Aug 23 '11 at 20:42
