A couple sites have posted information showing you how to bypass the copy protection provided by online music services using Winamp.
Using a plugin called Output Stacker for Winamp, you can actually record whatever is being played through your soundcard, whether its Napster, an internet radio stream or RealNetwork’s Rhapsody. The recording is saved in a .WAV file which you can burn to CD and then re-rip back to your computer. The .WAV recording has to be done in real time though, and the album information will not be present. This has been common knowledge to most Winamp users for some time.
