Can someone download this MP3 from this tricky URL?


Question

Having problems downloading the .MP3 file from this URL. A .wax file keeps popping up.

http://10.128.3.175:1755/EO_audios/ondarra031012.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf

http://82.223.131.30:1755/EO_audios/ondarra031012.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf

I had trouble even resolving its IP without a little sniffing. Dont know why its hiding so much.

Can someone tell me how to do it?

Thank you Neowin :)

Post the URL here

http://www.euskadikoorkestra.es:1755/EO_audios/ondarra031012.mp3

Then right click > save as ?

lol, nope

Put it into a DL manager ?

Tried them all in IDM, the first one picks up the wax file and downloads it, with the second two it picks up the mp3 files but it won't download them it just sticks at "connecting".

EDIT: My bad, just noticed the 3rd link also gives the .wax file so maybe the 2nd link is the best to try and get it from.

Try taking your first link and remove ?MSWMExt=.asf from the end, then try the remaining URL all the way up to .mp3 in the DL manager

Still gets stuck at connecting, left it for a minute and eventually it gave an error saying that it couldn't connect to the server

Play it with the browser and check temp internet files for the .mp3 ?

EDIT - Maybe something like Audacity and Stereo Mix will be able to record it while its streaming

It's still just the wax fi

Still just the wax file :( I agree best way to get it would probably just be free audio recording software and just record it from the stream.

If I remove the ?MSWMExt=.asf from the URL and paste it into the address bar in Firefox, it prompts to download the MP3 just fine for me.

Same for me in Chrome, but when I try and play the file in WMP it just says that it encountered a problem and can't play it, plus the MP3 is only 1Kb. Could just be a problem with Chrome though.

How big is the wax file ? Can't you rename / convert to .mp3 ? (Not sure what wax files are)

The wax file is only 1Kb as well, I hadn't encountered it before either but it appears to just allow a stream of the song to your media player. Checked the properties in WMP but the location still points to the wax file :(

Ohh well I'm away to the pub, good luck!

The .wax file is just a shortcut thing for Windows Media Player or whatever you use, to stream the audio, I guess.

Damn I remember I used to be able to use Vista's WMP to download those files that stream instead of download. Forgot the method. :(

Can't understand the website. I don't know that language.

Oh, the website has this music player thing on the left. Its the same audio.

Download them as .wax files and use Freemake Audio Converter (http://www.freemake....udio_converter/) to convert them into .mp3 :)

If you read previously, the .wax files are basically redirects/shortcuts/whatever.

The .wax file is a kickstarter for your media player. It's a secure server and the only way to get it is by phreaking and if I am not mistaken, it is against the Neowin rules. You can save the stream though. That's the only somewhat legal way of getting it.

    • I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.
    • Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
