NPR MP3 DownloaderSo NPR switched over from Real Audio (thankfully!) to using their own Flash-based player (eck!). Trouble is, while there used to be a few solutions to grab and convert the Real Audio, it's not easy, in the slightest, to get anything from the Flash player. Anyhow, use one of the following tools to insert a link on NPR story page which will allow you to grab the actual MP3 of a show or song.Please be sure to support your local NPR station. It's a good use of your money... and that's coming from a college student. You can install the Greasemonkey script. You can drag the following link to your bookmarks bar: NPR MP3 I'm not exactly a JavaScript guru - any updates/fixes/suggestions would be greatly appreciated (see the contact tab above). Also, right now it just sticks a link on top of the center column on NPR, however, I'd imagine that there is a more eloquent way of doing this - ideas? The Greasemonkey script has update code in it, so if NPR changes the link, I should be able to correct the script and your browser will grab the latest version. Thanks to Mike (who had the best solution prior to the new Flash player), Subsimple (for details on working with Bookmarklets), and the GreaseSpot wiki. |
