[CLUE-Tech] MP3 Tip...

[jbrockmeier at earthlink.net]

This might be obvious to some of you, but I thought I'd share a little 
tip for saving streaming-only MP3s...

I've found a few sites that have interviews or something in a streaming
MP3 format that obscures the filename to make it hard to actually download
and save the file. If you have Netscape or whatever browser you prefer
set up to use XMMS you can get around this.

Start playing the file, then right-click on the title in the XMMS 
window. Select "File Info" and then highlight the file name in 
the File Info dialog that pops up.

Open an Xterm (or whatever your favorite term is) and type 

wget

and a space. Paste the name of the file/URL after wget and hit
enter. Then wget will retrieve the file and save it in the current
directory.

Enjoy. :)
