for those who want to record this, do the following;

install VLC (Videolan Client, the ultimate freeware mediaplayer) available at : http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

Steps after this;

1. Start it.
2. On the top bar Click MEDIA, there select CONVERT/SAVE
3. Following this you'll see 4 options FILE/DISC/NETWORK/CAPTURE DEVICE...select NETWORK here.
4. in the Adress bar you paste http://www.mybroadbandradio.com/asx/listen.asx?station=HFM
5. the protocol automatically changes to http, the port to 1234.
6. click CONVERT / SAVE at the bottom
and select the saving options.

On the top you'll see OUTPUTS, activate both PLAY LOCALLY & FILE boxes.
Type a Filename and a location with loads of space (just to be sure wink ).
At PROFILE you select MP3.
The rest of the options grey-out.

It'll look like this.



At the end click SAVE and it should start playing (if not, press the play icon) through your speakers & at the same time it will dump the stream as a 128 kbps MP3.

When the program finishes you just press the stop icon.

Have fun!

Thanks to everyone who listened and emailed in to the show. We had a great time as you probably heard. Louis was on top form and had us all creased up with El Bummo! Dave Charles (the DJ) did his best not crack up but take it from me, it was a sight to see with him covering his face with tears of stifled laughter rolling down laugh

Anyway, we got plenty of video footage of the show being broadcast and hope to get some clips online asap.

The downloaded size of the radioshow is 166.532 KB (at least that is what it is here), so you know what you should have when done smile

This was an excellent feature - Louis was on air for the best part of an hour.
Though the show opened with a Foxx track and a short anecdote of their meeting up, it was otherwise very much about Louis' new solo career, the forthcoming album 'Electric Shock Treatment' and his relationship with Toffeetones. He played a couple of wacky songs live - Fishing My life Away' and 'El Bummo' - and there was an exclusive broadcast of his new single 'This Air' as well as 'Occupants' and 'Strange Individuals'.

He came across well, lively, funny and very 'real' - a genuinely good guy who deserves the success coming his way.

Way to go, Louis. More power to your elbow cool

I must echo what Shaun and Martin have said. I managed to meet Louis and Dave Charles before the show and Louis is a great guy. Genuine and very friendly. He signed loads of stuff for me and I even got a hug! eek I asked him if he and John had any more recordings planned, and he said that at the moment, No! He is busy with his solo work and John is busy with his other collaborations. But as soon as John gets bored with them, no doubt he'll be back on the phone to me! wink
I must share an email I've just had from Dave as well.. im in from midnight Friday first off with two hours of foxx numan etc etc…el bummo I was in fits of laughter…..the show was videoed so watch out for it,… Dave also mentioned he would try and get John on the show as well. laugh
