stream to CD

truflip	Date: May 30, 2004 @ 3:05 AM am i allowed to burn these songs to a cd so i can listen to it in my car? if so, how do i obtain an mp3 copy?
robbydadrummer	Date: May 30, 2004 @ 7:38 AM if the songs you want have the download option on, then it more than likely will be fine. most artists here won't have a problem with it or they wouldn't make it available to download. just download the songs (use the amber icon with the arrow pointing down next to the song's title) to your computer and then burn the cd.
truflip	Date: May 30, 2004 @ 12:16 PM hmm, the download link does not work =( it plays automatically on my Media Player on IE, but i also opened it on a new window, but it ses there that the page cannot be opened.
pog	Date: May 30, 2004 @ 1:00 PM this has been known to happen from time to time... the cause of this is to do with the first time you click on these sorts of links... it says something in the effect of "shall I always play it in the default player" These "default settings" are known as your file associations... it depends on which windows you are using as to the best way to fix it... one way that used to work is to install winamp, and let it take over your file associations... then when it asks you the next time if you'd like to play it in internet explorer, select no... another method would be to install quicktime, and set it up to reclaim all of the media. If you're running xp, it may be possible to reset your programs access and defaults ... it's a component in your control panel/add remove programs ...under the customs menu to .. use my current media player. Hope this helps
robbydadrummer	Date: May 30, 2004 @ 7:28 PM if all else fails, use the "right-click" method: right-click on the download icon, then select "save target as..." make sure you save it to the folder you want, or even the desktop (easiest place to find a download).
truflip	Date: May 30, 2004 @ 11:42 PM the save target as... feature saves the m3u list.. i need the mp3 lol.. hmm i tried this.. i played the stream normally on winamp.. den i right click n view file info.. n in there, theres a link.. like this "http://files.dmusic.com/6613785.74d70e4c3bd8dbfc1f857736c33c04d5/music/c/h/chuckie/ChucKie_-_Sweet_Dreams_-128.mp3" i pasted that in internet explorer.. but instead of downloading it.. it doesnt work at all.. is it the website maybe? n i tried pogs method.. that would probably work, but if i cant download the direct .mp3 link, how can it work if it cant open the mp3 link? for me, only the m3u file is able to open this mp3 link..
truflip	Date: May 30, 2004 @ 11:42 PM n yah im running xp
robbydadrummer	Date: May 31, 2004 @ 12:35 AM must be the way your browser is set up, then. i clicked that link and the mp3 downloaded to my temporary folder instantly. try resetting the defaults on your browser. go to the artist page and click the download icon. when it asks you if you want to play in the browser, click "no" or "cancel", whichever it is. it should download normally then.
truflip	Date: May 31, 2004 @ 2:19 AM i think theres somehting wrong wit microsoft.. windows media player wont even connect to the file.. anyway i obtained a copy of netscape n it works der.. but not in IE.. so weird.. anyway thansk a lot u guys for helping me out.. later!
pog	Date: May 31, 2004 @ 3:11 AM I use mozilla a lot, which is a pretty good alternative... glad to hear you worked it out
truflip	Date: May 31, 2004 @ 4:01 AM one more thing.. do u guys kno artists who make music like mc ryuu, chuckie akenz n rsunis?
JFF	Date: May 31, 2004 @ 7:24 AM It's all to do with File Associations. The Easiest Way of sorting this out is just to.. Click On "My Computer" Select The "Tools" Menu Select "Folder Options" Click On The "File Types" tab scroll down and find m3u. Delete It. scroll down and find mp3. Delete it. This makes windows treat these as unknown filetypes. The next time you click on an mp3 file (such as the download link here on DM or a file on your pc) windows will ask you what you want to do with it. Select Save instead of Open. If you click on LoFi or Hifi that will open a link to an m3u file. Windows will ask if you want to open it in IE. Select "No" (make sure the check box that says "Remember My preference" is checked. Now select "Open". Because you deleted m3u from the filetypes windows will ask you what you want to do. Click On "Select Program From List". Ok that. Select what program you want to use to play the stream.
