Record Windows Media .MP3 audio streams (mms:// .mp3 files) from Livesets.com

Hello,

with NetTransport and HiDownload , I'm able to rip the MP3s of the following site:

Code:

http://ondemand.livesets.com/

But the downloaded files do really sound destroyed, as if something is disturbing the file. Does anyone know a solutions for this problem?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't seen any MP3 files streamed though MMS or RTSP protocol. MMS protocol is used to stream Windows Media files. Just rename your recorded .MP3 files to .WMA files and you shouldn't have any problem playing them.

Thanks for your answer. But those are really 192kbps MP3-files, don't have a clue why I do have such problems with the files. You can actually hear the actual track at the downloaded files, but it's very distorted.

Free sound editor Audacity supports MP3 files, but doesn't support WMA files so you may try to open your recordings with it.

I don't have any problem playing these Windows Media files after renaming them.

Re: Record Windows Media .MP3 audio streams (mms:// .mp3 files) from Livesets.com

Ok, you're right, it works by renaming. The thing that made me curious is, that by right clicking on properties on the file while it is streaming, even Windows Media Player tells it is an MPEG Layer 3 file.
Anyway, thanks for your help! :)

WM Recorder in the PRO mode can perfectly download/rip/capture/record streaming music from ondemand.livesets.com. Replay AV also works fine with these Windows Media MMS music streams.

If you have problems finding stream URLs with freeware URL Snooper or any other URL Finder, then you can try demo versions of WM Recorder and Replay AV.

WM Recorder is a stream ripper software. Replay AV can record from the sound card, but it can capture/rip/download MMS Windows Media streams as well.

Ok, can you please explain how to rip (download) a set from ondemand.livesets.com using WM Recorder 12 (I have installed it and cannot download any set from livesets with it)?

Re: Record Windows Media .MP3 audio streams (mms:// .mp3 files) from Livesets.com

In WM Recorder click Help -> User guide.

The User guide explains things like

how to set up the PRO or ADA Auto recording mode,
how to record in real time.

If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to ask.

Actually this program is obviously not for me. It can only "record". I don't want to record I want to download.

Re: Record Windows Media .MP3 audio streams (mms:// .mp3 files) from Livesets.com

There is no universally recognized term for stream recording, but you shoudn't be afraid of the word record here. WM Recorder either downloads the stream or captures packets from Windows Media Player, but you do not lose any quality anyway. WM Recorder can't record from the sound card!

p.s. It seems that I was the first one to trying to separate recording from ripping and downloading, but still I often do not follow this conception.

Re: Record Windows Media .MP3 audio streams (mms:// .mp3 files) from Livesets.com

Oh, I thought it recorded from the sound card. Yes, I managed to get it to capture packets from Windows Media Player but I did not manage to download the stream with it or with the other two programs (HiDownload and NetTransport). In one of the programs' logs it says something about encryption (NTL or something)? Anyway I appreciate your help all this time.

Re: Record Windows Media .MP3 audio streams (mms:// .mp3 files) from Livesets.com

I didn't have any problem downloading the mms windows media streams with WM Recorder, Replay AV and NetTransport.

In what mode did you try to capture streaming audio with WM Recorder?

How do you get a stream URL for NetTransport and HiDownload? Do you use URL Snooper or get it from WM Recorder, Replay AV?

Re: Record Windows Media .MP3 audio streams (mms:// .mp3 files) from Livesets.com

I got the url with URL Snooper2, mms://media.livesets.com/ONDEMAND-25646876112/Cristian Varela vs Pepo at Audio Link on LiveSets Radio

And then I put this URL in WM Recorder (in URL mode) in the URL textbox. And then it tries to download (and changes a few protocols) but doesn't work and then the status just reads CANCELLED.

Re: Record Windows Media .MP3 audio streams (mms:// .mp3 files) from Livesets.com

WM Recorder in the PRO and ADA Auto recording mode can detect stream URLs and record from them automatically.

As I already mentioned, you can get the stream URLs from WM Recorder and Replay AV and record with other programs.

URL Snooper gives incorrect URLs for these streams.

I got this link with WM Recorder and tried to input it to HiDownload and Orbit but they don't download it correctly, they get a 1Kb .wax file or something. I can record in WM Recorder in the PRO mode, but the I have to wait until the end of every set. Therefore, I'm asking if it's possible to download this, because of the speed.

Re: Record Windows Media .MP3 audio streams (mms:// .mp3 files) from Livesets.com

Your previous URLs were beginning with "mms://" so it is a good idea to change "http://" onto "mms://" and record with WM Recorder in the URL mode or with any other Windows Media recorder.

Re: Record Windows Media .MP3 audio streams (mms:// .mp3 files) from Livesets.com

WM Recorder now says it can't find the recording directory. It doesn't work after changing the dir or reinstalling the whole app. The download link also doesn't work in HiDownload or NetTransport, In NetTransport it says something like "unknown reason". In fact, each time I get the link, it is different it's not a static link to a wma file, this ONDEMAND text part changes... Therefore, it's probably not that simple to download as you claim it is. Is this forum for advertising certain applications, or for actual help & discussion?

By recommending using demo versions of WM Recorder and Replay AV I obviously advertise them.

May be something changes on the server, but you can learn the concept:

There are no problems recording these streams with WM Recorder in the PRO and ADA modes.
There are no problems recording these streams with Replay AV
There are no problems finding mms:// stream URLs with the demo version of Replay AV. NetTransport downloads fine from these URLs, and you can use any other streaming media recorder with MMS support.
There are no problems finding http:// stream URLs with the demo version of WM Recorder and changing "http://" onto "mms://". NetTransport downloads fine from these URLs, and you can use any other streaming media recorder with MMS support.

The problems here are the following

Stream URLs expire very quickly, so you have to use them fast or find the new ones.
URL Snooper provides incorrect URLs

Re: Record Windows Media .MP3 audio streams (mms:// .mp3 files) from Livesets.com

Yes! Finally! NetTransport is downloading a mix as we speak!
Well, thank you for your help. I feel that we could have solved this sooner if you had pointed out before that a) stream URLs expire very quickly, and b) the need to change the http:// to mms:// and use NetTransport. Anyway, I think we just created a great reference for people that want to download from livesets.com and I know there are a lot of them. Thanks.
