PlayIt Live includes an Audio Archive feature within the Internet Broadcast settings that allows you to automatically save your streaming audio to files on your computer.

Enabling audio archiving:

1. Go to Tools > Internet Broadcast from the main menu
2. Select your existing stream and click Edit Stream...
3. In the Audio archive section, tick Save Audio to File
4. Click Browse next to File Path to specify where the recordings should be saved and what to name them
5. Set the Split File Every option to define how often new files are created (e.g., every 60 minutes)
6. Click OK to save the settings

How it works: Once enabled, PlayIt Live will automatically record your broadcast audio to the specified location. The audio is saved in the same format and quality as your internet stream (typically MP3). Files are split at the intervals you specify, creating separate files for easier management and archiving.

File naming: The file name you specify will be automatically appended with yyyy-mm-dd_HH-mm-ss to create unique files with timestamps. For example, if you name your file "Broadcast.mp3", the actual saved files will be named like "Broadcast 2025-09-21_14-00-00.mp3" for easy identification and chronological organisation.

Storage considerations: Audio files can become quite large, so ensure you have sufficient disk space at your chosen storage location. A typical 320kbps MP3 stream requires approximately 150MB per hour of recording.
