Windows Sound Recorder - Need Help ASAP!

Hi Everyone!
Our company is going to be on a radio station today and I want to record it. I can pickup the station via Windows Media Center but sadly it doesn't allow the recorder function to operate..... stupid. I believe their is a freeware program out there that allows you to capture the audio that's played on my speakers and save it. (has to work with vista 64) Does anyone know of a program like this? I need it within an hour.
Thanks in Advance!
Adam

What is it being broadcast over? Maybe I can record it here on the non-linear editor or the flash recorder and email it to you...? I just need to test it out first.

Hey KarTek,
It's a local FM radio station http://wjvl.com/ they don't have any online listening though. I looked to see if anyone streams their station with no such luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

OK, I figured out a solution:

Make sure your source is playing.
Open Windows Movie Maker in Accessories
Click "tools" and "narrarate timeline"
For the input device, choose "wave mix" or "line in" or which ever one gets a response on the meter (not mic though I would think for quality sake)
set the level with the slider
Click "start narration" when your ready and "stop narration" when your done.

You'll get a prompt to save the file (it's a.wma)

I tested it and it sounds perfect.

Oh yeah, be sure to delete any test recordings from the timeline or they will get mixed into your fresh recordings.

Great idea but it doesn't work for me. For some reason I don't have "wave mix" as an option. I tried "line in" and didn't get anything. I have a plain old built in AC 97 soundcard so it should have worked..... Darn!

Do you have a mini cable? Connect the Line Out to the Line In on the card... If it feeds back, try clicking the check box that says "mute speakers".
