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

      Scott v Matt and Mollie

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I quite quickly gave up on Scott’s show on R2 as I realised it wasn’t my kind of vibe. I do listen to the Scott Mills weekly to catch up, because I still think Scott is great, but there is just something missing (for example, he played out some clips recently of the old sleep recording app from the R1 days, and didn’t play ‘go and open the window Garry’ - or if he did, it didn’t make it to the podcast.) I don’t see them changing it now or making it any ‘younger’ than it is.   Matt & Mollie in the afternoon is something that I’m really looking forward to. They are such an interesting and funny listen. It has given me a different dilemma though, as 1pm has been the perfect time for me to catch up on the Capital breakfast show and takes me perfectly to the end of my working day, so now I’ll probably have to forego listening to that and stick with R1 for Matt & Mollie. These shows need podcasts because it’s already giving me fomo.

      Even for the older Radio 1 listeners (of which there are still quite a few) Scott’s show doesn’t feel quite right.  (That’s nothing on Scott who sounds good but more the station sound and content). Since moving to Capital Breakfast I haven’t been listening to much Radio 1.  I always found the shows outside of Breakfast and Drive more wallpaper due to my working day and the show content of RMC and Dean and Vicky so Capital is just background noise to me after enjoying Breakfast.

      I love Scott but if you're a 20 or 30 something that enjoyed his last few years of Radio 1 the Radio 2 show just doesn't translate. Stars from Neighbours or 90s singers just aren't my cup of tea and I can't get enthused about some has been at Radio 2 in the Park or some country music countdown.  Until that changes I will probably more likely listen to Matt and Mollie.  The Steve Wright fans think Radio 2 has turned into Radio 1 but it has a long way to go to win over the older R1 audience.

      Radio 2 brought in Scott to bring the afternoon audience age down, but I feel with Matt and Mollie replacing Dean and Vicky they're going to be competing for a similar audience. Will Scott's show evolve to bring in more listeners or do you think they will be comfortable with the audience they currently have?

      Yes I'm the same with 6Music. Huw Stephens offers something different.

      They are an answer. I do listen to 6 Music quite a bit but kind of feel like it isn’t for me unlike the New Music Fix Daily, Huw Stephens who I’d happily listen to. Think it’s a generational thing and music preference. But it’s like how 1 Xtra cut down Snoochie Shy’s nightly show to just Monday and with Wednesday and Thursday with just playlist programme. I just miss the days of having more choice of that time of night.

      Practically speaking, Riley & Coe on 6Music is the answer to that problem - but I get your overall point.

      Yes and thats the huge selling point after 6pm as always has been in the evening. As when I started listening to radio 1 about eleven twelve years ago its the station that got me into music new and familiar artists and bands. I think the issue with a lot of the new music shows being crammed in length of the shows and not all is live there’s less chance for a presenter to tell you about the band or artist or have the impression of chatting to the listener by reading out texts and emails or including voice notes. I’m really enjoying Jack Saunders’ new music show as thats how you do a show like that on Radio 1 good mix of genres but from 10pm onwards you don’t have the presenter chatting to the listener or that live feel as sometimes you need at that time.

      Given one of yesterday’s ‘bangers’ was Noah Kahan’s Stick Season, I doubt it.

      How has it been working early mornings as a parent, Chris? Is it harder to juggle than the 1-4 slot?

      I still think Dua Lipa could make the line-up. She's in the Live Lounge soon. Would be a scoop if they had two of the key Glastonbury performers.

      But if Radio 1's big selling point is new music it's strange. Clara fell a bit flat in comparison to her predecessors because she wasn't shaped in the same way as Annie or Zane.
