Where does MySpace save audio files on your computer and what typeare they?

[James]

They must be stored somewhere since they're clearly downloaded given
the data transfer activitythat stops at a certain point.

I've tried searching various ways - by size, date, also not finding
them searching for mp3. Are they another file type?

Any assistance will be appreciated.

 

[James]

They'll be in your browser's cache, and if that's Internet Explorer,
then the directory will typically be something C:\Documents and
Settings\<Your User Name>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files.  
Don't count on the files being easily identifiable though.

If the web page uses a plug-in such as Media Player to play the sound
file, then the cached files will probably be in a directory named
something like this C:\Documents and Settings\<Your User Name>\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player

That was the the first place I looked in addition to using the search
function. Nowhere to be found. Looked in each place by details/file
size. Nothing.

Since Myspace is accessed with a web browser I would assume it would be in
the browser's cache usually called "Temporary Internet files."

They are .swf files which are Flash files and the audio is based on MP3. I
once dragged a SWF file into Winamp many years ago and listened to the
audio.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

If you want to steal music it would be easier to walk into a store, put the
CD in your jacket and run out.

Thanks for the info and the assumption that you know what my
motivation is.

Not finding it as a .swf flash file either. Is there such a thing as
an audio only .swf file?

If it wasn't clear, I'm talking about audio only.

Empty your IE cache. Make sure nothing is in
there but cookies.

Go do some YouTube stuff.

Re-check your cache.

If there's no content, then YouTube has wisely
figured a way to cache (perhaps in memory only)
such that you can't grab content that way.

You'll need one of the stream recorder apps to
grab it as it comes in. Google will find them.

How exactly is it stealing if the files are *already* on his computer?

Which law has been violated?

Copyright Infringement.

As we're talking about "illegal cross-posting", which of the groups on the
subject line have had their copyright infringed due to the cross-post?

Yes, and if you do find it as an swf file it can be extracted
and converted to mp3 with a simple utility such as swf2mp3.

As a parallel example, even if you own a CD, you can't broadcast the
music on commercial radio without paying the fee.
It really amazes me that an entire generation has now grown up
thinking it's OK to steal intellectual property simply because
everybody else has been doing it their entire lives.  Wow!  And these
are probably otherwise mostly very ethical individuals who wouldn't
think of snatching an old lady's purse.  Stealing is stealing, kids.
How would you like someone to steal from you?

Clarify "OWN A CD". I read it first to mean it was my CD with my
material - and I WOULD own it. I think you meant a store bought CD
where you own the CD but not the embedded recordings.

Yes kids have no idea about intellectual property rights but then
neither do libraries. No one will care either until they realize just
how little an artist actually makes. I really think that education is
a 2 part plan. People need to know the way the law reads AND the
damage they do to the artist by stealing!

Why don't you ask Harvey Daye Jr., Scott Freeman, Ashleigh Cope, or
the beagle you set on fire? do you really think anybody can read you
after all the spamming you've done? Bitch.

For those that don't have the luxury of having a killfile(why in the
hell would anybody dump this garbage to outlook is another story in
itself), make sure to report EVERY SINGLE TROLL POST belonging to
STACEY CHUFFO to GOOGLE ABUSE. Just hit more options and report the
message.

This is the advice given over in the help forums. But we all know how
effective that is, now don't we?

LOL
