What kind of audio files are these and where are they being stored?

Going to this page - click on the blue icon - obviously the files are
being stored somewhere on my system, since they play back immediately
whenever I go back to the site - I'm on 56k dialup. However, I look
for *.mp3 and come up with nothing, nor do I find them searching by
size and date. As good as they sound, they must be large.

Thanks

 

Stupid Idiot.

 

Hello,
This maybe what is called "streaming audio", not being stored on your
unit.
The player being used on the site: Wimpy Player v 5.3.8
With the proper software you can download "streaming audio".
Use a search engine to find an application to record "streaming
audio".

take care.

1. That's redundant.
2. And your humble is on par with your godlike.

Why do googlegroupers think their questions are so important or so
complicated that they have to post everything they ask to so many
different groups? There are lots of problems with such crossposting.
You should find one group which is appropriate for your question and ask
it there, not all over the place.

The other problem with such crossposting is that many people will filter
out all such crosspostings; and many newsservers will filter out
anything a googlegrouper sez which is so crossposted. As a result, a
lot less people will see your question to answer it when you crosspost
rambunctiously and irresponsibly. Just because a question /could/ be
asked in any number of groups doesn't mean it /should/ be asked in more
than one. It should be asked only in the 'best' one, considering the
question and considering what you know about the participants in a
group.

You can find the files you've played on your system by searching the
Temporary Internet Files for the .mp3

You can find where the website's files are stored in this case by
looking at the source and finding the files named .mp3.

 

Maybe they think it is scantily clad spam?

 

Well, at least one reason is that there are miserable, anal retentive
asshats like you.

"Because it annoys Mike Easter" isn't a problem.

Getting it in front of numerous eyes in newsgroups where it's logical
to think folks will have some knowledge in the subject is an obvious
and perfectly valid reason. Crossposting was incorporated as part of
the functionality of Google groups, which trumps your pissiness. It's
also made possible for some groups to exclude crossposting, so one
makes sure they don't attempt to crosspost to such a group.

If you had actually read and comprehended the OP's statement - I know,
that's expecting a lot of you - they already did that and found no
such files.

And just to emphasize the impotence of your efforts and generally piss
you off, I've added them back in. Please have a stroke over it.

No, it must be stored somewhere on the computer. There's a long
download process on the first pass - again, I'm o 56k dialup - but
immediate playback any other time.

I don't find them as .mp3's which makes me think they must be some
other kind of file, perhaps native to the player? But I would think
they're going to be around the same size as .mp3s.

 

Here I am talking to another crossposting googlegrouper. Why don't I
listed to Blinky?

He was wrong. And you are wrong too. I listened to the .mp3/s. They
were in my temp files as I described correctly. You apparently did not
research your answer adequately because you were too busy thinking about
something else to whine about.

 

As another poster said, they are stored in "temporary internet files".
Size and quality may vary according to the speed of your
connection...with my broadband they are 160 kbps. With your dial up
they may be - but not necessarily are - lower in kbps so that the
downloading speed can keep up with or surpass the playing.

I have NO idea why this is crossposted to rec.audio.pro, but going to
the "view source" function in your browser will tell you all you want
to know and probably more.

Do you have your hidden files viewing enabled? I can see the mp3s that
play from that site in my temp internet files.

If you are crossposting to 24hshd and you aren't reading here, then I
guess you don't know what is going on. ToobadSosad.

 

You might try:

1) URL Snooper (includes WinPCap) - this is a kind of packet sniffer
which tells which files your computer is asking for

2) If you're using Firefox, and maybe Mozilla/Netscape there's an
Unplug addon which shows media file links on a page.

3) If you're using IE under XP, the browser cache is usually at

"C:\Documents and Settings\Yourusername\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files\Content.IE5" and then there are directories below there
and the files have their online name or something very similar.

Firefox/Netscape caches are more complicated to search because the
files have different names.

I believe there are cache explorer programs for both browsers.

Wrong. Regardless of your claim, there is no requirement that the
audio file be on your host. You keep making claims and then exposing
that you haven't a clue how you are receiving the audio or from where
you are playing it. You downloaded the pointer file which tells your
browser where to find the audio content. The configuration of
whatever player you defined to play the audio type is buffering the
streamed audio (i.e., it downloads some of the data stream before
beginning play mode).

Which further proves you are retrieving streaming audio. Go read:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_audio

Streaming is one method used to keep users like yourself from stealing
content. It can be bypassed by recording the data stream at the
client end.

 

Keerect!

And to OP:

The reason you can't see them is that you need to be able to view hidden
files:

Right-click Start > Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Files and
Folders > Hidden Files and Folders > check Show Hidden Files and Folders

 

He's not clueless. He has correctly concluded that since he's on dialup
and "[t]here's a long download process on the first pass," it's probably
*not* an instance of streaming. And if you would visit the Web site (
http://jordynshellhart.com/music.htm ), you would see this is true.

Interesting theory, but not supported by the facts.

It does nothing of the kind! A better theory would be that OP has
disabled the showing of hidden files and folders.

Stealing is a rather strong term!

It's also possible to download streaming content.

 

Because it seems reasonable to theorize that people who do audio
production might have some experience with internet audio issues. Feel
complimented - I give you credit for likely having a broad base of
experience.

Well, under this heading

<!-- START WIMPY PLAYER CODE -->


I find what appear to be .mp3 titles

http://www.jordynshellhart.com/musi...ww.jordynshellhart.com/music/08 Only Hope.mp3"
/>


But don't find any of these by doing a search using *.mp3 on my C
drive, nor under any of the titles listed.

 

Search on Windows Explorer doesn't necessarily search EVERY
directory on the drive, especially special Windows directories
such as caches like this.

 

I appreciate the input but that's how it's already set.

 

When you do a search you have to tell it to search hidden fileseven if
you have the folder options to show hidden files.
