Well, see, there aren't any actual download links, hence my reason for
writing to the list. For an example of what I mean, go to
http://www.formatchange.com, go to changes by city and just for fun,
choose chicago. You'll see different links for different stations. the
first one says 103.9 the groove debuts. If you press enter on that link
and go a ways down the page, you'll find an html 5 player with a play
button. if you press it, the audio starts to play, but there's no
download link. What I'd like to do is capture that audio in an mp3
file. i'm hoping that makes a little more sense, sorry if the subject
line wasn't clear. :)

If you use JAWS I have a software program that will work for sure but
will not name it here.
Its not free. Also it will capture instead of doing a second by second
recording.

Subject: downloading from a site that streams audio but doesn't allow
downloads
Hi folks
The subject line might seem kind of simple, but it's the only way I can
think of to describe the situation. Here's what's happening. There's a
specific website that allows you to listen to audio content, but it
doesn't offer links to download said content. I'm pretty sure there has
to be a way to do it though. it uses an html 5 player, which most
screenreaders can recognize, so listening to the audio is no problem.
It offers podcast feeds, but it only offers the last 10 or so items
posted, and I'd like to get a lot more of it. At one time it did allow
downloads but has since stopped for whatever reason. Just so everyone
can have a look, the website is:
http://www.formatchange.com
This is a website that allows you to listen to different radio stations
changing formats. Kind of geeky, but I've been a radio nut for years so
I like this sort of thing and i'm willing to bet others do too. So if
there's any software that'll allow me to capture this audio, I'd love to
get ahold of it and capture some more of this stuff.
Thanks guys!
Chris
