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

[br945]

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.

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.

Thanks and will check although I have gone through that site once.

Meantime you may like to go to the following site:

http://www.musicindiaonline.com/musi..._instrumental/

Give search :
ravi shankar

and check any streaming file

Thank you very much

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.

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:

<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

http://205.134.247.2/QdZmq-LL/

with

wm/carnatic/instrument/kanyakumari/SacredGemsOfThyagaraja/Duduku.wma

you get the stream URL:

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