Tried Replay Media Catcher and it downloaded an RTMP stream. You can also use other RTMP Flash stream recorders.

FAQ: How to record/download/capture/save Adobe Flash .FLV video RTMP stream from embedded player

Thanks for that. The latest NetTransport seems very good, it even sniffs out the URL.

I've found a freeware file converter to make the flash audio into an MP3. It is ****.

No need to convert, because audio tracks can be extracted losslessly. For example, Replay Media Catcher can extract MP3 from FLV (You can use its demo version to do it for free).

Other ways to convert FLV files:
FLV converters: Converting .FLV videos

The file that NetTransport downloaded didn't want to play as an MP3 till I had converted it, well, it seemed that way.

By the way, just as a matter of interest why was the recommended converter ****ed out, it seemed kosher enough, and it's free. Did I inadvertantly break some rule?

As was mentioned above, you can extract MP3 files from FLV audio only files without losing quality.

Feel free to add FLV converters that you like to the following thread:
FLV converters: Converting .FLV videos
and then just link to this thread from any threads about audio/video recording.

Oh, OK, thanks.

I have visited the BBC Prom 2010 site below.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/2010/whatson/1607.shtml

There is a link to "Listen to this programme".

and, I could find the link to flash audio stream as follows.

rtmpt://bbcmedia.fcod.llnwd.net/a1414/e3/mp4:radio3/secure_auth/international/RBN2_radio_3_-_friday_1700_b00swrdy_2010_07_16_20_03_24.mp4?as=a dobe-hmac-sha256&av=1&te=connect&mp=radio3/secure_auth/international/RBN2_radio_3_-_friday_1700_b00swrdy_2010_07_16_20_03_24.mp4& et=1279382303&fmta-token=15573f6e5466ab61552d3333d6afa494cdf529a0688d b133bc2e26cfa9aa5442

and, I have tried to dowload a audio file as follows.

rtmpdump -r "rtmpt://bbcmedia.fcod.llnwd.net/a1414/e3/mp4:radio3/secure_auth/international/RBN2_radio_3_-_friday_1700_b00swrdy_2010_07_16_20_03_24.mp4?as=a dobe-hmac-sha256&av=1&te=connect&mp=radio3/secure_auth/international/RBN2_radio_3_-_friday_1700_b00swrdy_2010_07_16_20_03_24.mp4& et=1279382303&fmta-token=15573f6e5466ab61552d3333d6afa494cdf529a0688d b133bc2e26cfa9aa5442" -o test.flv

and, the result is

ERROR: Closing connection: Netstream.Failed

What did I wrong?

Radio DL
is the program you need
sometimes it stops workling as the bbc change the way it stores its streams, it is usually updated within a week though

[bigclive]

use Radio DL it pulls off the mp3s directly
