But, I chose mmsclient, as it was a linux program and I figured it could be ported easily. Also, the dates for asfrecorder seemed a bit old. Unfortunately, mmsclient isn't working properly. It downloads something, but, it doesn't match what I can download using SDP under windows. I'll have another look at asfrecorder. I'm having mixed results with WarpVision. It can play some wma and asf, but not all. The CLI version is handy as it reports how many streams are in the file, and what format they are. So far I know it doesn't support DIVX audio, and Windows Media V8. And I'm learning a lot about how horrible the code is in web-sites and the extent they are going to make it hard to keep the media files. -- David Forrester davidfor at internode dot on dot net http://www.os2world.com/djfos2
