simfy seems to change little details with their server setup .. at the moment (March 2011) the info given here:
http://stream-recorder.com/forum/sim...iew-t8572.html is still working.
you dont need the "simfy Desktop"-software; de-install it! do your http-login in your web browser and play the song. capture the looong rtmp-url (rtmpe://c1.simfy.com:80/***) and feed it to rtmpdump giving it several tries:
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://c1.simfy.com:80/..." -o test.flv
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://c2.simfy.com:80/..." -o test.flv
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://c3.simfy.com:80/..." -o test.flv
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://c4.simfy.com:80/..." -o test.flv
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://c5.simfy.com:80/..." -o test.flv
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://c6.simfy.com:80/..." -o test.flv
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://c7.simfy.com:80/..." -o test.flv
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://c8.simfy.com:80/..." -o test.flv
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://c9.simfy.com:80/..." -o test.flv
From the size of the file you can calculate the bitrate yourself
. The first file is Planet Earth by Michael Jackson from the This Is It album and the second file is Space Rocket (track#06).
GetFLV
can download the tracks but the coupling (SIMFY+GetFLV) isnt working 100% perfectly. There are some serious flaws. Coojah fails. Blader downloads (given the manipulated url). ST fails to download. For simfy my recommendation goes to rtmpdump. and after all, simfy really sucks. only idiots can program such a cheap amateurish homepage and useless ugly desktop software
if i want to listen to music, i go to Deezer or Spotify. these two are really professional!
simfy?
piece of cr*p.
(i know that simfy staff is reading my posts.. hehe.. They actually change their server setup because of
my posts. that's fine. i dont download from simfy. i dont need their s***. byebye simfy. you will run out of business within 1.0-1.5 years, bet??)
