[SOLVED] Saving a Sound file with Bash

felix001 · 02-02-2011, 06:36 AM

Ok heres the plan. I wanted to stream audio and save it into a file which I can then listen to at a later date.

Ive found a source that provides a m3u file. Example : http://tx.whatson.com/icecast.php?i=kiss100.mp3.m3u

Is there anyway which I can pipe / save this audio stream into another file using just a standard bash shell.

Many Thanks,

The m3u file is a playlist, basically a list of URLs to mp3 file. You can easily download the mp3s by means of wget, reading the URLs from the playlist: first download the m3u file, then do

Code:

wget -i kiss100.mp3.m3u

Hope this helps.
