Hey All,

Does anyone know how to save/download an embedded mp3? That may be the wrong term, but, for example, you click on a link at Amazon, and a little window opens, shows the player controls for a media player, and then plays a few seconds of a tune.

Does anyone know how to save such things? I mean, it must come to your computer, so how can it be saved? Is there a .exe somewhere? or can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your help. 8^]

Audio can either be a file that you can download or streamed which is buffered. Streaming allows you to listen without waiting for a file to download. You can only listen to streamed files by playing them over the net, but there is nothing to stop you recording sound input at the same as streaming and then saving that as a file. Audacity is a freebie that would allow you to record but you are on your own re any copyright stuff.

R u using IE.. if so go to tool, internet options, then settings, view files then find the file, try put list in order by file size, the mp3 maybe there, something they stream the files and u cant get them, if you find your file copy to your desk top, it may will warn you, say yes if your sure that the file you looking for. that should work... Good Luck

Yeah, and I actually have Audacity, but is there a better way? I looked at the source and those are javascript popups, but that puts me in over my head.

I understand the copyright issue, but I own the stuff in question, I just really don't have the time to pull it apart with Goldwave.

Ah, Martin, BRILLIANT!

I knew there had to be a better way that trying to record an audio stream.

Thank you again.
