Copy Sky+ to MP3

Hi - not sure if this is the right forum!

I've got a concert I recorded off a radio channel on Sky+ that I'd like to convert to MP3.

What's the best way to go about this?

I've got a Sony GX300 DVD recorder and a PC/laptop.

Thanks for any replies!

I'm not sure if this is the best way, but I would do this:-
Burn the Sky recording to a DVD using your Sony recorder.
Get something like DVD Audio Extractor on your PC and this will allow you to extract the audio soundtrack from any DVD and save it in the format of your choice.

Yep, would agree with the above. Did the exact same thing with a U2 concert that was broadcast on Radio 1 earlier this year.
I used Virtualdub to capture the audio as a WAV file then coverted to MP3.

Thanks - I'll give it a go.

One question - do I need to separate the different songs into different chapters when recording to dvd or can I do this on the PC?
