Help with streamed songs on websites

[thirty-two]

Hypothetically speaking, if there was a website that allowed you to hear a few songs from a certain band, that loads as you get to the page, and you can click on which song, is there a way to... possibly retrieve that song for your own personal files?

And, hypothetically, if that is possible, is there anyone on this board, who might have a way of going about that, hypothetically speaking of course.

hypothetically speaking is copyrighted by pariah cuz he did it first

More information is needed.

If the files are in real audio (RTSP) or windows media (MMS) format you should be able to download them with: http://www.xi-soft.com/default.htm

If that's too complicated buy a cord with two 3.5 mm jacks (headphone size) and wire your sound out jack to your microphone jack and record it.

ooh the latter is a possibility!

i dont know if its in real audio or windows media... it's just a music player thing that you click on and the music starts playing. should i just download that thing and try to see if it works anyway?

shareware
(n.) Software distributed on the basis of an honor system. Most shareware is delivered free of charge, but the author usually requests that you pay a small fee if you like the program and use it regularly. By sending the small fee, you become registered with the producer so that you can receive service assistance and updates. You can copy shareware and pass it along to friends and colleagues, but they too are expected to pay a fee if they use the product.

Shareware is inexpensive because it is usually produced by a single programmer and is offered directly to customers. Thus, there are practically no packaging or advertising expenses.

Note that shareware differs from public-domain software in that shareware is copyrighted. This means that you cannot sell a shareware product as your own.



Full use versions of software that stop working after a certain trial period could also be considered shareware.
