How to clip audio from The Scott Mills Show (XP)

Here is how I clip audio from The Scott Mills Show using BBC iPlayer and Audacity:

Downloading Audacity

- First off you'll need to get Audacity from here (right-click, save link as.)

- You will also need the LAME MP3 Encoder from here (right-click, save target as.) so you can export as an mp3.

- Once both files are both downloaded install Audacity.

Turning Stereo Mix On

- Double-click the sound icon on the Windows toolbar.

- Click options then properties.

- Select recording under Adjust Volume For, tick all the boxes and click Ok.

- Tick the select box under the Stereo Mix volume slider and set the volume very low (mine is set on the 2nd line) then close.

Recording From BBC iPlayer

- Open Audacity and go onto BBC iPlayer. Find the show you want to record the audio from and find the part you want to record.

- On the iPlayer interface set the volume to 6 or 7.

- Start Audacity recording then play the iPlayer video. Once you have recorded the bit you want stop the video and stop Audacity recording.

Cutting Down

- To delete sections of the recording you don't need on in Audacity click the cursor and the start of the part you don't need and drag it to where the bit you don't want ends. Press delete.

- Once you've got rid of the bits you don't need click File then Export As MP3...

- Audacity will ask you to browse for the lame_enc.dll file. So, find where you saved the file earlier and click Ok (you will only need to do this on your first export).

Exporting As An MP3

- Save the filename as what ever you want but if your uploading to the forum it's best if you name it something like this: 12-2-2009-whats_occurring.mp3 if you name them this way they can be easily sorted.

Setting ID3 Tags

- A box will come up asking for the Title, Artist, Genre etc. If you are uploading to the forum use the following examples:

Title: 12/02/09 - Oh! What's Occurring?!

Artist: Scott Mills

Album: BBC Radio 1

Year: 2009

Genre: Other (or Comedy)

- Click Ok and the file will export.

Uploading To The Forum

If you want to upload the file to the forum, when you make a topic, under Additional Options click Manage Attachments, browse for the file and upload it.

*Note* If you have Windows Vista the process should be fairly similar.

what do i do with 'LAME MP3 Encoder' i have downloaded it to my desktop & now what ?

When you first export as MP3 after you recorded something it asks you to browse for the LAME file. It'll only ask you to do this once, I think you'll need to put it in another folder because it might not work if you delete it off the desktop.

what do i need to open lame in, i have some how got it in IE

If you record something, anything.

File, Export as MP3

It'll ask you to browse for the LAME dll file.

Look for where you saved it, click it and press ok.

You don't open the dll file. Just browse for it when Audacity asks you for it when you first export.

well when i now download it it has the 'e' symbol on it & it wants to open up in IE, it had little gears on it before & now i cannot get it back !

Don't worry about the icon. When Audacity asks you to search for the dll just browse to where you saved it, click it and press ok, should still be fine.

It's the same filetype

    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
    • Yesterday when Katie was off was nearly unlistenable. Shows how vital she is in the show dynamic.
