    Question Interesting problem ....

    Hello people
    My question is not in programming but is closely related you you clever fellows might have a solution.
    I have tried to save the audio files that you can download to listen to [say from web sites of radio stations] without success. Since they are played on my computer I assume them must reside somewhere on the machine so I should be able to keep them, but I have not been able to do so. Does anyone have a suggetion or solution?
    If you want to experiment try any of links at :
    http://www.radiolovers.com/pages/charlie_chan.htm
    [cool site by the way if you are fan of old radio shows].
    Thanks in advance
    SW

    Its not really my area but I believe that they are Streaming the audio so there is no actual file on your system. (Cool site! )

    Shes not wrong as she stated its not a programming issue per se, but rather an issue on locating the temp file and saving it.

    As MET777 said, you can right-click and select 'Save Target As' or alternately, you can find the files in your Temporary Internet Files folder.

    What temp file? As MET777 said using "Save target as..." creates a real file so I don't really understand what the problem is...

    I see said the blind dog.

    So can this be used for streaming audio or video too? I'm not a multimedia guru

    Re: Interesting problem ....

    actually, i've never seen that happen. if it plays in u're windows media player then u have to use buffer of 100% befire it gets saved in the windows temporary internet files folder. then u do have to do a search coz there's gonna be a lot of files there. mine's usually 50 mb cache.

    I agree. I used to have an app with my soundblaster card, much like the Windows Recorder, except that it allowed unlimited file length. I used to record 4 hours at a time off the radio, plugged into my line input jacks. I think this is the only method to save a streamed file.
