Flashgot and Rhapsody

[Guest]

Why can't I grab songs from Rhapsody anymore? Is anyone else having a problem with this?

URL?

When you attempt, what do you get?

The site is apparently broken.
I tried http://www.rhapsody.com/arctic-monkeys/ ... k-by-brick but I couldn't play anythin, neither on Firefox (clean profile) nor on Chrome.
Is there any working page I can test?

I got a popup window that had the player.
The "Play" button was pushed, but the time remained at 0:00.

(I have no sound, so it makes it difficult to know if anything was actually playing.)

Anyhow, I was able to capture a RTMP link, so FlashGot would not get it in any case.

Code: Select all

rtmp://rhapsodyev-567.fcod.llnwd.net:1935/a4376/v1<break>mp3:s/8/2/3/2/4/539942328?e=1307475183&h=3c6714f3e82753537ea2cc17ec12a709	http://www.rhapsody.com/player?type=undefined&id=tra.46389567&remote=undefined&page=undefined&pageregion=undefined&guid=undefined&from=undefined&__pcode=	http://playback-ns.rhapsody.com/-static/players/popout/rhapsodyPopoutPlayer.swf?bid=&ts=20110607-4

It appears that I'm download (with Net Transport), very slowly, theoretically 1.7 MB at this point, yet the file itself shows 0 bytes.

Looks like it's recording the download in Net Transport's %tmp% dir, & suppose it will write it out to the download location at some point. Header looks weird, but that could be normal?

Finished, & actually named itself as an .FLV. Header is not normal. MP3 utility see's it as an MP3. Suppose a little (hex) editing & it should work?

Usually you see "ID3" in the header, but that's not to be found.

FLVExtract cut away the FLV header information, but still not looking to play.
(Usually MPlayer would ignore extraneous data, like an FLV header, & play the file regardless, but not happening with this.)

(Enough for now. Without sound, making it even harder to decipher.)

I can't download music from rhapsody anymore either, what happened?

[therube]

Rhapsody is using RTMP & NoScript cannot see RTMP.

Actually the preview clips are coming down just fine, http://www.rhapsody.com/#/genre/new-age/artists/artist/kitaro.

Not sure what I looked at the earlier day & found the RTMP?

(Anyhow, the site sucks, so move on to something else.)
