There IS one minor trick to it. Go to your control panel - Sounds and Audio - Recording Controls - Properties and make sure that your Stereo Out is selected for use. Then back up and go to the mixer and select Stereo Out as the active device. You've now ready to record.
Any app that allows recording will do the trick. Personally, I like Sound Forge, but it's massive over kill. My other favorite is DART CD-Recorder for a function that is just TOO handy not to have - a built-in timer. GREAT for recording radio programs or (as in your case) a web-event that might only happen at a specific time when you aren't there to turn on the record. Check it out: http://www.dartpro.com/New.asp
I second Sound Forge 5.0, but it is overkill for basic recording. I know there is a much cheaper wave recording/editing program called Cool Edit 2000 and I think it runs around $60-$70. I personally use SF 5.0, but it has a ton of editing features I really haven't even scratched the surface of yet. I record the Trance and Hard Trance 66K WMP streams from Digitally Imported.com, and make 80 minute sets to burn to CD. I use SF to record and do any basic editing like cutting out any breaks in the stream, burn the .wav file to a CD using Nero, then use Razor Lame and the Lame 3.91 codec to encode to MP3. Works great and I get new CD's for my collection everyday. Sometimes I record four hours or more and just cut it up into 80min sections so it will fit on a CD. I am going to give those 99min CDR's a try so I can get longer sets.
