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

    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
    • His NYE shows were very good. Only thing I would say is he was shackled down slightly there. During his peak he played some great trance stuff in the late 90s and early 00s. So if he were to do a regular show that would have to feature more. Aside from I'd love to see him back.
