    Hi, does anyone know how to get the videos at http://www.getmusic.com ? I have tried everything I can possibly think of and nothing works, with either StreamBox, or ASFRecorder. Is it possible??? If so, could someone please explain how to go about doing it? Thanks in advance.

    I got it! I read about URLSnopper, and thought I would give that a try, and it solved my problem, woohoo! I seen another post on here asking about how to get videos there, so here is what I did:

    1.Go the webpage where the link to the Streaming Media is (the link that says either dialup or broadband and when you click on it, it opens up the embedded WindowsMediaPlayer) but don't click it just yet! Launch URLSnooper.

    2.In URLSNooper click on the Search TAB, then click the SNIFF NETWORK button... wait a few seconds. Now go back to the web page and click on the link to launch the video. Wait until the video has started playing... (that is any little commercials/advertisements, or short webpage identification has played, and the actual video you want has started to play.)

    3.Go back to URLSnooper, and click STOP SEARCH button.

    4.In URLSNooper, on that SERACH TAB under the sniff and stop buttons is a long list of crap.
    You need to slowly scroll through that list, looking for URLs that start with stuff like "mms://**.asf" or "http://**.wmv" or any combination starting with mms:// http:// and ending in .asf .wmv .mpg .avi .mov

    5.Now that you've identified the URL or a few of them which seem to match that format of xxx:// something .*** , you need to know which one is the right URL. (I always found it to be the second mms:// link it listed near the bottom, the other one was the advertisement) but to be sure, right click on that URL in the URLSnooper list and go to LAUNCH URL.
    Hopefully WMP, or possibly another player, will successfully open up and play the video you wanted. If not keep going down the list until you get the right address to the video.

    6.Now that you've found the "real" link, again right click on it and choose COPY TO CLIPBOARD.

    7.Launch StreamBoxVCR and click on the button at the top of the screen that has a globe with a little yellow chain across it (this button is 3rd from the left, directly below the word download on the top toolbar) A new item window pops up.

    8.Right Click in the location empty bar and click PASTE. Now the URL is pasted in the location bar. Type a place you want the file saved on your computer in the DESTINATION bar, and finally click OK.

    9.The file should start downloading... if nothing happens for a long time, look at the right frame/window of StreamBoxVCR and read what it says... if it says some kind of error or timeout, you might have done something wrong.

    For some reason if I stopped the video after I stopped URLSnooper, the link wouldn't work. So I kept the video playing while I tested the links, found the right one, put it in StreamBox and started downloading it, and it worked fine. So try that if it doesn't work. It's worked for me everytime now!

    If you need URLSNooper, I got it from here:
    http://www.geocities.com/streamgen/streambox.htm

    And that should do it! :)

    What the guy said is quite right! I recommend you a great site where you not only can download StreamBox & URLSnooper, but also can download a lot of "free" software and a great mounts of movies & MTVs, of course you can choose to watch them online as well;-)
    The website is http://www.j096u02m87mp293a.com

    If you really wanna visit the site, you can find the correct one by this: Remove all arabic numerals from "www.j096u02m87mp293a.com", you will find :)
