I've recieved 1000cd's in asx streaming format...is there anyway to rip these to my hard drive to mp3/wav format?
Do you mean .ASF? You can easily convert from .asf to wav or mp3 with [bold]dBpowerAMP (dMC)[/bold]. Ced
no..these are definetly in asx format....although maybe the application you mentioned may do the job..how do i get my hands on it?
ASX files are redirector metafiles for Windows Media streams. Small text files with a .asx extension that contain information about streams to be played and the actual stream URL(S). A type of playlist. If the ASX file is on your computer, the file can be opened with a text editor like notepad to find the stream URL(S). To download such streams you need streaming media recording software. http://p084.ezboard.com/fstreemeboxvcrfrm7.showMessage?topicID=115.topic These Windows Media streams will be saved as .asf or .wma files.

Like Veblin said .asx files are pointers to other files (typicly .ASF files). Why you would have a CDs of them I have no idea. Maybe they point to files on your discs? Ced
They are usually just a zip file with 1000+ ASX redirectors for Windows Media streams or RAM redirectors for Real Media streams to stream 1000+ CD's. Though they are not streamed CD quality. Found with this search. http://www.google.com/search?q="parent+directory"+1000cds http://www.student.kuleuven.ac.be/~m0220196/1000CDS.zip http://users.pandora.be/sven.vanwetswinkel/1000cds.zip None of the redirectors in the files above work. I have previuosly seen files like these that have 1000+ ASX and RAM redirectors. The files have to be redone quite often as the streams the redirectors point to are removed or moved on the Internet.
Here is a link to the 1000CD's zip file that I have repaired. I got stream URL addresses to most of the streams working anyway. A lot of good music to stream with this but the sound quality is not too great at 32Kbps. http://webpages.charter.net/veblin/1000CDS.zip
