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 :

[cool site by the way if you are fan of old radio shows].
Thanks in advance

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! :thumb:)

its not streaming... its just saving it to a temporary file.... right click it and say "save target as" and then save it whereever you want to... and u are definetaly in the wrong thread here. this is a general PC question

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.

Moved from Classic VB.

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... :confused:

I see said the blind dog. :D

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

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.

yes, i can copy and download those files :D

This thread is about a year old. ;)
