Download Internet radio tracks with Free Music Zilla
What sets Free Music Zilla apart from some of the competitors in this space is that it's 100% free, and incredibly easy to use. Just install the application and it will hang out in your system tray. When you visit a site with streaming audio like Pandora, Last.fm, IMEEM, MySpace, eSnips, or several others, Free Music Zilla will give you the option of saving each song.
While the program officially works with all the web services mentioned above plus a few more, we've found that it also does a pretty good job of catching songs from unsupported web sites like the recently launched MeeMix.
The only thing that would make Free Music Zilla better would be automatic file naming. Right now, any track you download will have a string of numbers for a name, so you'll have to tag and name files on your own. Of course, we don't have to tell you that in many situations, using programs like this to download streaming audio may be illegal. But we can also think of plenty of instances when you might want to use a program like Free Music Zilla to download public domain music or songs licensed under Creative Commons.

it also works with deezer.com, but it records a php stream which can be converted to mp3 for free with a great program called mediacoder(do a google search for this)...works great!

i got the same problem. it, for some reason, cuts off the connection. before i ran it, i was surfing the net like normal, then, when i ran, i just get, either blank pages on firefox, or, those "cant display page" pages on ie. after, when i turn off Free Music Zilla, the internet is normal like usual. anybody else have this problem?

I had the same problem. I would load FMZ and Firefox would immediately shut down. Oops!

Anyone figure out a work around so the program won't close FireFox. It's a bit annoying.

Orbit Downloader works better for me. It works with ANY webpage.

I mean, Audio Hijack is fine and all, but I have to actually play the song and wait for it to record.
