Hi,

I don't even know what these files are (where you click "listen" and it opens up)

Is there anyway to save them as wavs or MP3s?

0r you could use soundflower to record the audio.

Ive not checked out the link as Im at work but if its a steaming file then I use total recorder http://www.highcriteria.com/.

It can take the audio stream as it comes in and record it and save it down to wav/mp3. Only problem is you have the leave it recording the whole stream.

They're wma files, you can see the location in the link e.g.

http://mediasrv-the.musicradio.com/medi ... y28_01.wma

That'll get your windows media player to play them directly instead of a pop-up window. Now I reckon if you disassociate .wma files from playing automatically with the windows media player, windows will ask you what you want to do with these files and might give you the option of saving them. It's just a guess as I'm typing this from a mac, but worth giving a go.

Thats funny cos I can't see the wma in the link, just everything up to that!

eg .....may28_0 with no wma at the end.

Brilliant. Even cuts the stream into separate tracks.

The direct links in the order they appear on the page are:

http://mediasrv-the.musicradio.com/medi ... y28_01.wma and then...may28_02.wma, and so on up to ..._11.wma

To retrieve this address on apple, use ctrl+click -> Copy Link Location, on PC maybe right-click and "copy shortcut", then paste into your browser address bar. Then delete out the javascript bit.

Thanks - by right clicking your link (I'm on a PC) I can save it as a .WAX file, but it is only 4 KB so it must just reference the original source.

It plays in Windows Media though - but there doesn't seem to be a way to save a file as a wav or whatever from Windows Media. Annoying!! Thanks though.

I've downloaded a freeware recorder called Hi-Q recorder - i think I'll just have to record them all one by one!

Thanks everyone for your help.
