Downloading and saving .asx & .wma streaming from musicindiaonline.com to hard disk


 
I would like to download some .smi files on the Hard Disk for later listening.

I have retrieved the addresses by URL snooper but they show as Protocol GET Realmedia file or GET Windows media file (Relative). If I paste the URL address on the web browser URL location box, nothing happens. The url has the suffix .smi or .wma.

Any ideas?

Is there any freeware available that can do the job?

Thanks for help.

Stream recorders and URL finders for Windows Media and Real Audio streams


 
See All streaming video recording software and All streaming audio recording software. There you will find the most popular stream recorders. Some stream recorders are free, others are free to try.

You may also use shareware WM Recorder for free to find Windows Media and Real Media stream URLs.

You may also post the URL of a web-site here so that we can take a look.

URL finders and Free Windows Media stream recorders/rippers


 
The web-site provides Windows Media and Real Audio streams.

Find the URL with WM Recorder or URL Snooper and record Windows Media audio .WMA streams.

If you like free media stream recorders you may try GetAsfStream and SDP receiver for Windows Media streams. GetAsfStream can also find stream URLs.

Getting Windows Media stream URL from .ASX metafile


 
URL Snooper doesn't work for me here. But I was able to get stream URLs from the .asx metafile (you may find it in the cache folder of your browser). It looks like this:
Code:

<ASX VERSION="3">
<BASE HREF="http://205.134.247.2/QdZmq-LL/" />
<ENTRY>
<TITLE>{'listorder':['Name','Artist','Ragam','Thalam','Composer','Instrument'],'Instrument':'Violin','Artist':[{'data':'Kanyakumari A','type':'text'},{'src':'/z/default/i/ri/9.0.gif','type':'image'}],'mcol':'album','xid':'1520','Name':'Dudukugala','secname':'carnatic_instrumental','secid':'3'}</TITLE>
<REF HREF="wm/carnatic/instrument/kanyakumari/SacredGemsOfThyagaraja/Duduku.wma" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>

Combining
Code:

http://205.134.247.2/QdZmq-LL/
with
Code:

wm/carnatic/instrument/kanyakumari/SacredGemsOfThyagaraja/Duduku.wma
you get the stream URL:
Code:

http://205.134.247.2/QdZmq-LL/wm/carnatic/instrument/kanyakumari/SacredGemsOfThyagaraja/Duduku.wma

You can do the same with .smi files as I did with .asx files. The only problem is that Windows Media stream recorders are usually more reliable compared to Real Audio recorders and it is easier to edit and convert Windows Media files than Real Audio files.

sorry to ask a silly question but how do i open the browser cache to see what you have described in the earlier message?

Incidentally, for a particular recording, I got the following on the URL snooper:

http://64.94.235.125/QdZmq-LL/wm/fil...ra/Theharo.smi


http://205.134.247.2/QdZmq-LL/wm/fil...ra/Theharo.wma

if i copy paste the above in the browser URL address space and click, the player opens and starts the stream instead of bringing up the download dialogue box asking whether to open or save.

Opening the cache folder of your browser


 
Opening the cache folder of your browser
  • In the Internet Explorer click [Tools] - [Internet Options...] - [Temporary Internet files] - [Settings...] - [View Files...].
  • In the Firefox browser usually it is
    C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default\ca che\
  • In the Mozilla browser click [Edit] - [Preferences...] - [Advanced] - [Cache] and find your cache folder. Usually it is C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\your_username\APPLICATION DATA\Mozilla\Profiles\default\something.slt\cache\
  • In Opera browser open the following folder" c:\Program files\Opera\cache4\
    where c:\Program files\Opera\ is the folder in which you installed Opera.

When you right click for open, it says :running a system command on this item may be unsafe. Do you wish to continue?

Is it ok to proceed.
