The link works - don't worry that it looks odd, that is a fault within AnswerBank.

Hi Ron,

Actually, the link doesn't go where you want it too. The text area of the blog is blank, stating 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria'.

However, I assume this is your intended target page:
http://www.beforeiforget.co.uk/index.php?s=bec ky&submit=Find

When your click on any of the audio links, it downloads an mp3 file to your browser's cache. However, the file will have some obscure name, such as 78BC9696d01, and the mp3 extension will be missing. The trick is to identify this file on your hard drive, save it and then rename it appropriately.

Since you've already downloaded the files, they'll probably still be somewhere in your cache but impossible to find. To force your PC to re-download the files, start by clearing your browser's cache. (In Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Internet Options. With the 'General' tab selected, look under 'Temporary Internet Files' and click 'Delete Files', OK, OK. In Firefox, going to Tools > 'Clear private data' will work if your settings include clearing the cache. If you're not sure go to Tools > Options > Privacy > Settings. Ensure that there's a tick alongside Cache. Click OK and 'Clear Now').

Next, create a folder, somewhere on your hard drive, where you'll store the mp3 files.

Now visit the 'Little Becky' page and download one of the sound files. Go to Start > Search and search for *.* Click the 'Modified' column heading repeatedly, until the most recent files are shown at the top of the list. Look for a file, downloaded at the appropriate time, with a size of a few Mb. (The 'school demolition' file is around 2.85Mb). Right-click on the file name (which, as I've stated, will be some obscure collection of letters and numbers).

Now open the folder where you want to place the sound files. Right-click and select 'paste. Then right-click on the file icon and select 'rename'. Choose a suitable name and add the mp3 extension (e.g. 'becky1.mp3').

Repeat for each of the other files. Burn to disk in the usual way.

That might sound complicated but, when you've done it once, you'll see how easy it is. (You'll only have to clear your browser's cache once. Just repeat the download, search and renaming procedures).

PS: I've just realised that I wrote 'burn to disk in the usual way' after saving and renaming the first file. It's obviously easier to put them all into one folder first, then burn the whole lot to disk in one go.

I was referring to the working link in the original post...

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Technology/Ques tion447675.html

...but posted in the first of the three follow-up (duplicate) posts with the expectation that all three will be removed at some future stage.

Thanks all. Chris I feel a right idiot now you tell me that the link is not going where I want it to, I've already passed it on to all my email contacts, how can I correct this? Ron.

[Whiskery Ron]
