Help, please, with saving mp3 files. |
|
There's a discussion going on over in GD with a link to a kpfa radio interview. One poster said they had "saved the mp3 file". So, this must be possible.
I right clicked on the file and saved it to my HD.But when I try to open it when I'm offline it says it has to go to the internet to play it. I'm on dial-up and would like to save so I can listen offline, and maybe burn to a CD.
Here is the name of the file: gen-mpegurl.m3u . What does this tell you? Is there some kind of decoding software needed to actually play this?
Also, I just tried to go back and play the interview online and I get message, "Server redirected player to an invalid location." When I click on help button it says this is error: C00D2EEA.
Did I change some setting by mistake or are too many people trying to access that site?
I am running Windows XP. Appreciate any help.

M3u is an MP3 playlist file.
If its the "Listen Online/Vogg Orbis stream" streaming audio thing you'll need a stream-ripper.
You can't download the actual MP3 file because it is being streamed.
Do a search for "free stream ripper" and you should find what you need.
Good luck. Cletus

2. Thank you, Yokel. I really appreciate the help I get here, and |

apologize for being so out of the loop and asking questions that are probably kindergarten level for most folks. It's the media issues that stump me. :eyes:
Someone on the other thread posted the direct link, ya' know, with the DNS # or something with an mp3 extension. That worked, and I was able to download (slooow) the audio file.
I'll look for the stream ripper. I'm starting a hard copy file. :)
