where are the flash mp3s coming from?
I want to use wget to download the mp3s available on this site-below. The thing is that this site uses flash 9 to stream or make only the latest mp3 available for download...I want to download all of them. How can I do this?

oh, I wouldn't do that. These are non-copyrighten sermons. My church is affiliated with the one linked above and I know that my church has used mms format which makes it difficult to download not because of copyright issues but because mms offers a "secure" environment. The mp3s on the site above are free for the taking.

I've gotten that a lot....but believe me, these are non-profit mp3s. I cannot even listen to one of these mp3s in Linux. Maybe it's since they are using Flash 9?
Have you tried contacting the sites webmaster and explaining this? You might be given links to the actual files, or, better still, maybe the site will be made linux friendly.

that doesn't get results quickly...I might be waiting for a week just to get a reply about the sermon that's there now that won't be there by the time I get a reply (they change weekly). I'll try that, though.
Is there another way to hear the mp3 that's there now? The download link is on a flash window on the right hand side of the page. When you click on that a flash window opens and plays it with download links at the bottom...you can only hear and see all this in M$ Win.

http://www.ccdelco.com/audioplayer2/mp3/54.zip is one. If you try other numbers you get the requested file, a similar one (35 instead of 53) or a list of available files with similar names.
P.S.: With a newer flash player the content IS displayed.

thanks-I emailed the webmaster there about archiving their sermons in a simple mp3 format. I'm not sure why they zipped it...it's still a huge file. With the right mp3 compression they should be able to get the 24 MB file down to a 10 MB mp3 (it's probably a 1 hour sermon).

Nice to know it works in Slack 12. That's where I'm at now...I go back and forth between Fedora Core 7 and Slackware 12. It wouldn't open in Fedora Core. I'll try it in Slack now!

I made a little script to download them all with wget. A similar script can then be made to unzip them. The numbers are not in order and some zip files skip, but that doesn't matter in the end. Here it is:
for i in $(seq 1 5); do
for j in $(seq 1 9); do
wget "http://www.ccdelco.com/audioplayer2/mp3/$i$j.zip"
done
done

I'm supposed to actually go to a site to make sure the user wasn't correct when they, themselvessaid the sites design was to only allow certain files to be downloaded???
Give me a f**king break.
When they're sellingarchives of sermons on CD and only allowing download of the most recent one, it's quite a safe bet that the material is in fact, copyrighted. Whether or not they would care to prosecute really does not figure into the equation in the least. Whether or not the files can be downloaded through an unpublished URL doesn't change this, and the fact that there are no URLs linking to these files simply reinforces that there is no reasonable assumption of public availability.
