Will that remove the watermark on the recorded versions or is that burned on to it also?
If it is an auditorial watermark, then, the simple answer would be "yes." Recording it with a sound recording program shall yeild the same, general auditorial artifacts. If this is a really, really subtle watermark however, the recorder may not pick it up. It just depends on how high of a resolution you "re-record" it with. It also depends on what type of watermark that is used for the streaming audio...is it beeps/pops/low frequency hum? At a high recording resolution, the watermark itself would proabably be transferred over pretty clearly.
