Hmm...I prefer the GUI version of StreamRipper with the skin changed to the Winamp one so it appears seamless.

Everybody's talked about their favorite mp3 ripping tools, and I've never had much luck with any of them. I finally found one that I had luck with: StreamRipper (Command Line version). I thought I'd share my findings with anybody else that wants to rip mp3s by making this guide. Hope somebody gets use out of this... Enjoy!

The complete idiot-proof step-by-step example for ripping Proton Radio sets.

1. Download the latest StreamRipper Command Line Version (Win32)
   -> http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/srdownloads.php
   
2. Select Run from the Start Menu
   
3. Click the Browse button
   
4. Browse to the folder that you saved StreamRipper in, select the StreamRipper executable, and click Open
   
5. The StreamRipper executable will appear in the Run window... copy/paste the following arguments to the end of the executable:
   http://64.236.34.196:80/stream/1041 -d "%userprofile%\Desktop\Proton" -s -c -x
   
6. The line will look similar to this: sripper-1.60.10.exe http://64.236.34.196:80/stream/1041 -d "%userprofile%\Desktop\Proton" -s -c -x. Press the OK button to start
   
7. StreamRipper will immediately begin ripping Proton Radio. All MP3s will be saved on your Desktop in a folder named Proton
