Capture streaming MP3 to file

Is there a way to open an MP3 stream and write it to a file? A java based way to record internet radio for later listens?

1) Can someone point me to a URL where if I connect it will send me streaming MP3 data?No. I mean, I could make a URL that sends you MP3 data, but it'll only be what I want to send, not necessarily what you want.
The file you get is a meta file, which tells where the content is. If you want to connect to that, you need to know what the protocol is. If it's not publicly available, then I'm sure a reasonably motivated person could sniff it out. And that's presuming that the audio is actually MP3 data to begin with.
2) Is there a better way of doing this?That depends. Better for who? You the application developer? The end user? The copyright owner?
Back to your original questions, which were actually reasonable...
Is there a way to open an MP3 stream and write it to a file? If you have an MP3 stream, it's either a TCP or UDP stream, in which case, yes, you can have Java connect and record it, presuming you can talk to the server in the appropriate protocol that the server expects to be talked to in.
A java based way to record internet radio for later listens?This is entirely up to the radio protocol.
You'd probably be better off intercepting the raw audio from the sound card, as it's more universal.

Streamed MP3 music files losing first few seconds

My Apple TV seems to drop the first few seconds of MP3 music files when they are streamed from iTunes, but not when they are synced to the Apple TV.
The number of seconds that are dropped varies from none at all for some songs to 20, or much more than that ... but seemingly never more than a minute.
When I select one certain song in a particular playlist -- "Song for the Mira" by the Garrison Bros. -- the time shown is 5:19. When I press play on the Apple TV remote the time changes to 5:00, very briefly ... just before the Apple TV starts to play the song with its first 19 seconds missing, as if it were really a 5:00 song.
From that time on (unless I reload the iTunes library) every time I select the same song from any playlist, or from under Songs, or Albums, or whatever, the time is always shown right away as 5:00. So Apple TV is "remembering" the time of the song.
If I cause Apple TV to reload that iTunes library, the time goes back to 5:19 until I actually play the song again, at which time it becomes 5:00 again.
The amount of time that is sliced off from the beginning of a song is always consistent for that song. So if the amount is 12 seconds one time for a particular song, it is always 12 seconds.
I have not altered the start or end points of affected songs in iTunes.
As far as I can tell, this never happens with Protected AACs.
It never happens with synced copies of the MP3s, only with streamed playback.
I have the latest versions of iTunes (7.3.2) and of the Apple TV software (1.1).
Restoring the Apple TV to factory settings, re-downloading the software, etc., have no effect on the problem. Nor does restarting my iMac, which is running OS X 10.4.10. Nor does restarting the various base stations on my wireless network, all of which have the latest firmware.
Anyone else have a problem with the beginnings of streamed MP3s being truncated? Anyone know what to do about it? Thanks.

Since my last post to this thread I have discovered:
(1) I was wrong in thinking there is no pattern to the number of seconds lopped off at the beginning of various MP3s when streamed to my Apple TV. Actually, I have found that the same number of seconds is dropped from every song in a particular album or compilation!
So my "Sounds of Nova Scotia, Vol. 1" compilation -- which contains the "Song for the Mira" that is reduced from 5:19 to 5:00 at the start of Apple TV's streamed playback -- has 19 seconds removed at the start of every track when its tracks are streamed to Apple TV. (It does not appear to be significant that this particular track seems to be rounded to the nearest minute. Cutting the first 19 seconds off the other tracks in the compilation does not bring them to an even minute.)
My Beatles' "Abbey Road" album has not 19 but 30 seconds dropped at the start of every streamed track!
(2) I was also wrong in reporting that the time change from, say, 5:19 to 5:00 is "remembered" by Apple TV the next time I select the affected track from a list on the TV screen. Actually, the next time I select the track, it shows up as 5:19 again. But if I press Play, that changes to 5:00 in the split second just before the track actually starts to play ... and then the progress bar that appears at that point, when the actual song is being played, reflects a 5:00 total time, not 5:19.
To recap what I said before, this happens only when I stream (even from the syncing iTunes), not when I play a synced copy. AACs are unaffected. Not all MP3s seem to be affected, though all in an affected album or compilation are affected the same way, by having an identical number of seconds lopped off. I have the latest software/firmware in all my devices. Restarts/resets do not help. The problem persists in copies of copies of the affected MP3 tracks streamed from iTunes _on my other Mac_, a MacBook Pro. The problem does not occur when I play the tracks right in iTunes on either machine. I am not using manually set start and stop times on the affected tracks in iTunes. I do not have *Part of a Gapless Album* or *Remember Playback Position* set in Info in iTunes Preferences, though I have tried setting *Part of a Gapless Album*, with no effect on the problem.
Anyone have any more ideas as to what might be causing this? Thanks.

Best Way to Capture Streaming mp3 for Download and Burn?

Anyone have any suggestions on capturing streaming audio in mp3 format for download and burning to a CD-R disc for private listening away from the computer (Intel Duo2Core)?
What I want to capture is definately legal download but it only seems to want to download into Quicktime, and I can't figure how to get that into a format so I can import to iTunes and burn to a CD so I can listen in my car when I drive.

If you save the quicktime audio as a self cotained .mov format, it can be imported into itunes. It can then be converted to an mp3 by using the "covert selection to mp3" under the advanced menu if needed.
Hope this helps

Save streamed MP3 file?

Our app includes a music player which streams MP3s from a server. We would like to be able to stream the MP3, and save it to a cache on disk once it has fully downloaded.
I am using the load() method of the Sound class to stream the MP3 so that playback can begin before the file is fully downloaded. I can listen for the Event.COMPLETE event to indicate that the MP3 has finished downloading, but the Sound class offers no way to access the original file and save it to disk (the extract() method returns uncompressed sound data which is much too large to write to the disk).
Is there any method to download an MP3 file that will allow us to stream the MP3 file as it is downloading, and save it to disk when the download is complete, without downloading it twice?

Unless you can find an MP3 encoding library that could take the extract() data and convert it back with minimal effort, I think your only option is to save the mp3 using the File and FileStream classes. One thing you could try is to use a File object to download the file, and while it is downloading, you have the sound object play the data contents of the File object downloading the mp3. I just tried a quick test locally and it worked on my desktop. You will have to try it from an actual server to know how well it can work in that environment, but it is at least worth a shot.
import flash.filesystem.File;
import flash.filesystem.FileMode;
import flash.filesystem.FileStream;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("gravity.mp3");
file.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressEvent);
file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoadComplete);
file.load();
var sound:Sound;
function onProgressEvent(e:ProgressEvent):void {
if (sound == null) {
file.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressEvent);
sound = new Sound(new URLRequest(file.url))
sound.play();
function onFileLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
file.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoadComplete);
var saveFile:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("gravity2.mp3");
var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
fs.open(saveFile, FileMode.WRITE);
fs.writeBytes(file.data, 0, file.data.length);
fs.close();
What this code is doing is creating a File object with, in this case, a path to an MP3 in the same folder as the test FLA I created. This would be a path to your server stored MP3. Then you setup the event listeners for progress and complete. I used progress to know that the file had actually started to be downloaded to then trigger the initialization of my Sound object. Depending on someones network connection and the size of the MP3, it could be a good idea to use progress to know that the file has gotten X percentage done before trying to play the file.
For testing purposes in my progress event, I just checked to see if the Sound object had been initialized yet, and if it hadn't then set sound equal to a new Sound object with the File.url property for the URLRequest() and then told it to play.
Once the File object dispatched the complete event to indicate that the download finished, I created a new File object for the purpose of saving it to the filesystem using the FileStream class. Using FileStream to save the file allows for no user interaction to save the MP3.
There may be better ways to handle my method, but I can't think of any at the moment. As far as I know, the second File object, which I named "saveFile", is required in order to actually save the downloaded MP3 object because Im not too familiar with File manipulation. The only downside I can think of is that you have a copy of the MP3 is memory and would need to null out the File object that loaded the MP3 to free up memory.

Best Way to Capture Streaming mp# for Download and Burn?

Anyone have any suggestions on capturing streaming audio in mp3 format for download and burning to a CD-R disc for private listening away from the computer (Intel Duo2Core)?
What I want to capture is definately legal download but it only seems to want to download into Quicktime, and I can't figure how to get that into a format so I can import to iTunes and burn to a CD so I can listen in my car when I drive.

Actually that is one of the reasons I use Audio Hijack. Maybe WireTap is different now, but earlier versions would record ALL sounds, including system beeps and application alerts. Audio Hijack can record on a per application basis, excluding sounds from other apps that don't belong in that recording.
Audio Hijack records a standard audio file in the format of your choice (MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless, WAV etc). Once it's recorded, you can play it back in any sound app you like, or move it into iTunes so you can sync it to your iPod, or burn the file to a CD.
It records in real time, so if you want to record an hour of audio, you have to let it run for an hour, like a VCR. This is the only way to capture real-time streams. That said, if you wanted to record a program like This American Life that is also available as a ready-made podcast or audio file, you should download the podcast version instead of recording it, because it would be faster to download the ready-made file instead of recording it in real time.
WireTap and Audio Hijack are for when no easily downloadable file is available, and only streams are provided.

Capture streaming does not work after upgrade of the source database.

Streaming MP3 with RTP

Hello,
I am trying to implement a RTP server and a RTP client, for that purpose I am using JMF, it seems to work good until I tried to transmit MP3 files. When I trasmit MP3, I get the next error message:
Unable to handle format: mpeglayer3, Unknown Sample Rate
Failed to realize: com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@1700391
Error: Unable to realize com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@1700391
Error in ControllerErrorEvent: javax.media.ResourceUnavailableEvent[source=com.sun.media.content.unknown.Handler@fa39d7,message=Failed to realize: input media not supported: mpeglayer3 audio]
I have installed the mp3 pluging and I have used the AVTrasmint2 and AVReceive2 class with some modifications to try to solve the problem, but I can not solve it.
I tried to use JMFStudio in both sides (server and client side) and I got the same error.
-->failed to handle a data format change!
I would like to add that I have used two differents computers (one for the server and one for the client) to make all the test.
Could you give me some advise, help or solution for that problem? If someone has a solution(code) to transmit streaming MP3 using RTP and kown that it is running ok, could you show me?
I am doubting if MP3/RTP is supported in JMF, If someone knows another alternative to implement a streaming MP3 audio server and client, could you say me what solution is it?
Thank you very much, I expect that someone could help me.
PD: Sorry for my english, I think that it is not so good.

Hi I had the same problem but i manage to solve it.
First of all you have to install the mp3 plug-in and as u mentioned that u already did that.Make sure the mp3plugin.jar file is inside the lib/ext of the jre you are using for your project and one imp thing is first register the plug-in by issuing the command
java com.sun.media.codec.audio.mp3.JavaDecoder
It will modify the jmf.properties binary file.Once your done with this put this updated jmf.properties file in your project folder.After this your code should run perfectally.In case of any problem.Post it.
cheers

Problems streaming mp3's

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with streaming mp3's and clicking
links at the same time. It seems that while the mp3 file is
downloading it's impossible to click on links, it freezes until the
song is fully downloaded. To view the mp3 player i've built with a
friend please feel free to visit
http://www.musicplayer.fm/ -
if you sign in with username: "test" password: "password" and feel
free to play any song, and you'll see what i mean. I'm stuck
getting around this problem.
I've tried embedding the player using the SWFobject method in
javascript, cross domain streaming... and nothing seems to work.
The player is streaming the mp3 using loadSound(location, true);
and the location is fed using an xml file.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
Matt

No surprise at all - these are two different technologies for two entirely different purposes.
A podcast is meant for files to be downloaded to a user's computer so that they can be listened to at any time or transfered to an iPod. A streamed file is more like a radio broadcast - it can only be listened to while the streaming server is "broadcasting" the file to the client computer.
If you want to take advantage of both options you'll need to upload your file to two different locations.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Capture not working, capturing as MP3

I'm using Project Setting of HDV and Sequence Settings of DVCProHD HD1080i 50 (this says it is the preset for Panasonic P2 cameras, mine is Sony as above but I have no other generic HDV settings).
The video plays through the Capture window fine and looks like it is capturing as .mp3
When I stop the capture the file does not appear in the Project window as I think it should.
I've gone to File > Import to bring the file back in. It is there but when I do this there is a File Import Failure message saying "there was an error decompressing audio and video"
Any help would be great I need to export the video as soon as possible.
Also, as I have no generic HDV or Sony preset Sequence Settings if you could tell how to add them/update Premiere that would be great.
Many thanks.

Streaming mp3 through Oracle/RealServer plugin

Did anybody try to stream mp3 content from Oracle database through Oracle interMadia plugin for RealServer8? The RealServer8 itself plays mp3 files with no problem. I am having no problem to play native RealServer content (loaded from *.rm files) trough the Oracle plugin (mime_type='audio/x-pn-realaudio'). I am using mime_type='application/x-pn-mpg' as recommended when loading mp3 in ordaudio object. But the RealSetver says that 'This server is not configured to play the data type you requested'. What is wrong? My environment: Oracle plugin 8.1.6/8.1.7 for RealServer for Solaris.

Stream mp3 without FMS?

is it possible to stream mp3 without using FMS? how would I
do it? All the examples I could find and the examples in the book I
bought show streaming done via rtmp and a flash server. My website
is located on a shared webserver, so I'm not sure I can install
FMS.
I'm trying to write an embedded mp3 player that can play a
song. when a link is clicked the link should pass the song name so
the player will play the correct song. for example: when
http://mysite.com/player.php?value=songname.mp3
is clicked, the player will play songname.mp3
thanks.

I'm surprised that no one has answered this. Is this question
too simple or something?
Anyway, I've been trying to load an mp3 at runtime but I'm
getting some errors:
Error: Could not resolve <mx:Sound> to a component
implementation.
<mx:Sound id="bgm" source="01.mp3"/>
how can i implement loading the sound file?
here's what i've currently put together... I know there's a

Playbook Won't Stream mp3 In Browser

I have a site that hosts a lot of mp3's. When I log into the site through the browser and click on any of the mp3 files, I get a "Media Error" and some message about an 'unsupported file type'. Is there something that needs to be turned on in the browser or some 'add on' I need to successfully stream these mp3's? I didn't think this was going to be such a problem. Thanks in advance.

How do I capture streaming video on firefox for mac?

Is there a way to save or capture streaming video being watched on Firefox for Mac?

it's possible. i did it myself, after a few tryouts.
i still can't get the best result, but i got something.
first of all you have to save the streaming file(thru the save as qt movie, from CTRL-click). when you get a stream it gets cached on your computer. you might playback it even when offline. so if all that you need is a simple playback, that's ok. but it's a cache, sometime the system will erase it from your HD.
if you want to keep it as a qt file(or any other format) thats this is the deal. when you save the stream file, it saves a reference file(4kb) that reads the cache. you cannot recover them from the cache, not even by changing the termination, because the qt player won't recognize the .qtch files transformed into .mov.
open the file(reference you saved before), choose export from the file menu, and choose the setting that you want. i still don't get a good quality(i know it's incredible that a stream file has a better quality...) and i still have to export the video separated from the audio. but if you need only the moving image to edit a homevideo, and your only source is a stream, it's a start.
so if anyone feel like growing the knowledge tree, let's go ahead.

What extenstion will allow me to capture streaming audio/videos?

I am trying to capture a streaming video of a program broadcast by Fox News which is not protected. I understand that in the past versions of Firefox some of the extensions or free applications would allow the video to be captured (per CNET). What is the application or extension I need to capture streaming videos using the FLV format or any of the other popular formats?

Hi Pat,
What I want to do is download the on-line videos/live streaming video but the source of them doesn't make them available as download files.
As regards Flash Player Pro, apparently I was looking at something else entirely. Sorry for the misleading statement.
