MP3 downloading

I recently tried to download a MP3 file from a website. Instead of downloading as a file it started playing via Quicktime. Is there a simple default setting I can change so that I will have the option to download the file?

Are there any mp3 files on your G5?
If you find one that is stored on your mac, & open it..... what application does it open in? If it's QT then try this - ctrl click on an mp3 file & choose 'Get info'
At the 'Open With' section - alter it so that itunes is selected as the default application & click Change All..
If itunes is already selected - choose other from the application list & in the file selection box that appears, choose itunes & check the {i}Always Open With{/i] box. Again clicking Change All{/i}....
That should force the OS to always open any .mp3 file using iTunes.
Clicking an mp3 link in afari should download the file & open it using itunes.
Of course, you can choose any suitable app instead of iTunes.

How can I get the search bar for mp3 downloader pro

I have the mp3 downloader pro but the search bar is not their, someone told me that I had to type something in the URL to get it but don't know what it is. Can anyone help me?

In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.

* If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear (Firefox 3.6 on Windows) (see [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.
* If you do not see that item then click the Restore Default Set button in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.

[Request] Amazon MP3 Downloader

Amazon has released a Linux version of the Amazon MP3 Downloader program. It allows you to purchase and download entire albums of DRM-free MP3s at a discount over buying the MP3s one at a time.
They've only packaged it for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE. As far as I can tell, you have to go to the above URL and check the box to accept their terms of use before you can download it.
I tried creating my own PKGBUILD, but I'm not having much luck understanding exactly what goes where. Any help would be appreciated.
Here's what I managed to put together so far by digging stuff out of the Debian version amazonmp3.deb file:
pkgname=amazonmp3

Here is the problem I am running into
It doesn't seem to work on Arch64.
./amazonmp3: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
If you run Arch64, the amazonmp3 package in AUR will build, install and run nicely in a chrooted Arch32 setup (see instructions here).
Even though they're not releasing their source and they're not offering a 64-bit Linux version of their mp3 downloader, I agree that Amazon is worth supporting, since their mp3s are DRM-free.
When I've wanted to buy an album, which requires the Amazon downloader, I've previously been doing it under Windows, then just copying the files to my Linux filesystem. Using the chrooted Arch32 approach, I can buy Amazon mp3 albums without leaving home (i.e., without leaving Arch).

How to control an mp3 downloaded to an ipad?

I am on IOS 8 and have never used itunes to listen to a podcast. In the iPad safari browser, I clicked on a link for a podcast on the webpage, which said "Download the mp3".
The podcast mp3 immediately started playing. But I could not find a player where I could control it, i.e., I could not stop, pause, go forward or reverse.
Since I didn't download the podcast in iTunes, it didn't show up there.
How do you control the playback of an mp3 downloaded this way? And does the mp3 stay on the ipad so that I can play it again without going to the website?

It is not possible to remotely control the screen of an iPad unless you jailbreak and install a VNC server. This is because the security model in iOS does not allow an app to reach outside of its sandbox to control other apps or the springboard home screen. Apple does not provide any remote control functionality at the iOS level either. There is no way to do what you are asking for without jailbreaking.

How to do mp3 downloads in firefox?

I am using this code to set up mp3 downloads
-First Frame
mp3version="401audio.mp3"
-Then on the button
on (release) {
getURL(_root.mp3version,"_blank")
And this works correctly in ie but firefox plays the file, I
dont want to put instructions to change how firefox manages mp3
file types. Is there another way to download mp3 files in flash.

here is the code for the correct way to download from flash -
this comes straight from the flash help:
import flash.net.FileReference;
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference) {
trace("onComplete : " + file.name);
var url:String = "
http://www.adobe.com/platform/whitepapers/platform_overview.pdf";
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.addListener(listener);
fileRef.download(url, "FlashPlatform.pdf");
just change the the url string to the path of your file and
change FlashPlatform.pdf to the default name you want the file to
be named when it is downloaded.

Safari 4.0 can't save mp3 downloads to disk

I just installed Safari 4.0 without checking this list first. Big mistake. I updated because of security concerns, not because any of the new features appealed to me. In fact I find the "Top Sites" feature intrusive, and just another thing to dog down performance.
But the most annoying thing is that it is now no longer possible to save mp3 downloads to disk, even though I have Quicktime Pro and am trying to save mp3's that are not protected (they are demo's from cover bands put up for just this purpose). The down arrow normally attached to the far right end of the Quicktime bar -- used to pop down a menu which includes save-as-source -- no longer appears. It is as if Safari is treating the Quicktime Plugin as if it were not the Pro version. But it is (I checked that out). I also played around with the mime settings for the files that Quicktime should handle in the browser, but that made no difference, and they shouldn't have been changed in any event.
I can fire up my old G4 and run an ancient version of Safari (1.0.3) and the very same mp3 URL's that won't save-to-disk under Safari 4.0 save fine there. The version of Safari I was using yesterday (3.x.x) also worked fine with the same URL's. What gives?
Did Safari 4.0 break the PRO connection to the plugin? I checked the Quicktime preference pane under Advanced, and verified that Kiosk Mode was not enabled (which would hide the controls), so that isn't the problem.

Top Sites etc. If you don't want the eye candy follow the suggestions outlined in this post. These suggestions lock down Top Sites, Cover Flow and Safari Caches eliminating file accumulation. Apply the one (or all) specific to your needs.
Regarding QT Pro, yes the Save Arrow is missing - been that way since Safari 4 Beta. Don't know why it's AWOL. If the URL ends in .wav, .mov, .mp3 etc. open the download panel (command/option/L keys), then drag the URL into the panel. The file will download.
Hawaiian,
Thanks. I was unaware that you could download audio or video files by dragging the URL's to the download panel. Works like a charm. I hope the button comes back though, because that is a little simpler. BTW -- I wonder if your technique works even if you don't have Quicktime Pro? If so, people can save $38 everytime Apple makes you upgrade. (Of course, you'll still need it to do video editing and such).
A thought on the AWOL button. I wonder if Apple changed the default for what they consider authored (protected) content? Maybe previous revs assumed that an mp3 or video was not protected unless it was tagged to indicate it was. If the default has changed to assuming all files are protected unless they are tagged as unprotected, then that would explain the missing button. I doubt that most of the bands posting demo's bother to specifically indicate they are unprotected.
I'll check out the link on suppressing all the Top Sites overhead. Thanks for the help!

MP3 Download Subscription Provide

Hi,
I have signed up to Napster and will upgrade at a later date (when the Zen firmware arri'ves ;o) but that is another story...)
Napster appears to have a fairly good catalogue, but my question is what other MP3 Download Subscription Providers are available? Are there any better or better value then napster?
Maybe information on the services and number of song they have and maybe a price (in ?)?
Thanks for any help / recommendations!
Ross.

I agree that quality is an important factor. However, when I took a look at the Musicmatch 0. download page, I saw a mention of 60 kbps WMA files--the same quality as the existing Musicmatch service.
With that and the different track offerings, is it possible that Musicmatch is using its existing provider (don't recall who it is) for purchased downloads, but MusicNet (YMU's provider) for subscriptions?
Though I suspect it's only a matter of time before Musicmatch is merged into YMU and Yahoo! Music Engine, there are still differences in functionality between MMJB and YME. Also, MMJB is used around the world (though its music store is only for the US); YME (the software as well as YMU) is only offered in the US, though I wouldn't be surprised if it were to launch in the UK soon.
A couple of sidenotes:
I downloaded HMV's player and went as far as its TOS, just to be sure it really was UK-restricted (I was able to download a couple of tracks to the US from their old OD2-powered service, even with a US credit card); it said it was for the UK and Ireland, not just the UK. That seems to make HMV the first "to go" subscription service in Ireland; Napster To Go and Virgin Digital don't go there.</LI>
But I am a little surprised that all three UK services so far--Napster To Go, Virgin Digital, and HMV DIgital--charge GBP4.95 (currently just over US$27.50) for a monthly subscription, especially after the recent study saying most wouldn't pay more than US$0 a month in ANY country. High subscription prices may be more likely to hold in the UK than in the US (IIRC, the UK and Japan are the two biggest per-capita consumers of music in the world), but despite the market power of HMV and Virgin, it leaves the door wide open for Yahoo! to undercut them, just as in the US.</LI>

Mp3 download

every time I try to preview a song it ...has unexpedidly stopped working and has to force close...whats up

The one I use is called: MP3 Download
Now that I've popped over to the marketplace to check it, I see they've changed the program. Looks like a new build of it.
I downloaded it and tested it out, I haven't used to ringtone edit yet, but download and preview work fine.
One thing I did notice in the previous release were some songs were bad and it would freeze the app when you tried to preview it. If they haven't fixed that bug that could be what you are running into.

ADDED MP3 DOWNLOADER BUT IT DOESNT WORK

It used to work, but after I wait for the FB like option goes off and the download bar appears, I click on it and nothing happens. So I went into extensions and clicked on remove thinking I would start over, but now, the mp3 downloader isn't even there anymore. What do I do now to get it back?

I've checked file associations for QT player and MP3 is not selected ... I can't see any way of saving it to my hard drive or forcing it to become a "download" ... can you help me please?
