If you say they're "not downloading", I take it you're listening to streaming audio à la heavy.com?

You can record any audio that is routed to your computer's sound output (like web radio, flash film audio, or streaming webcasts or whatever) to disk using the free program WireTap.

I think Detour and AudioHijack can do this also, but they're not free, IIRC.

www.macupdate.com is an excellent online software archive that you can search for keywords also.

Thanks for help...WireTap is working perfectly...Now I have another problem.
I burned my CD but it is not working on CD player. Files are AIFF format. Do I need some other file format to play these CD on other CD player beside on Mac. Is there any other program which can help to do this job.
Thanks for help.

you need to burn it in audio CD format, not as a data disk, which is what i think you've done - press the audio tab in Toast - or try importing the tracks into iTunes if your version of Toast doesn't support making audio cd's - but I think most do.

And if it's just a regular CD player - i.e. not 'cd-r compatible' you must close the session - i.e. don't allow additional writes . . .
