I've been trying to grab the stream from the Priesthood Session of Conference (since its not available as an mp3 on the site). First question is, is what I am trying to do bad? It came to me last night that they may not have an mp3 version for a reason? Second question is, if its not a bad thing, does anyone have any pointers for grabbing the stream? I've tried several things with mplayer to grab it (even as simple as mplayer -dumpstream <link to asx file here>), but that seemed to core dump on me. If anyone has pointers, please let me know, I really really enjoyed the Priesthood session and would just like the audio to listen to on my long commute to work.

Use mmsclient: http://www.geocities.com/majormms/ . It's also available in Gentoo's portage tree.

In this case:

  mmsclient \
  mms://stream.lds.org/genconf/2006/apr/3/GenConf2006AprASL300.wmv

It's a 300kbps video, but once it's downloaded, you can use mplayer or mencoder to extract just the audio. I suspect this use of the content is covered under fair use, as long as you don't redistribute.
