Hello: How can I "play" or otherwise listen to or download articles from NPR's archive(s)? OS is 4.9-RELEASE Browser is Mozilla 1.5 (mozilla-1.5_1,2) Mplayer & other ports are up-to-date as of today. Everything is built from source. It makes no difference whether or not I have mplayer-plugin installed. If I click on an article from NPR's website (http://www.npr.org/), Mozilla downloads a file, named in the form "nprNNN.wax" where NNN are digits. Here are the contents of an example of one of those: ---------------------------------------- $ cat npr9673.wax <asx version = "3.0"> <title>NPR's Morning Edition - Thursday, November 6, 2003</title> <abstract>more info at : Morning Edition Web site</abstract> <moreinfo href="http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/" /> <entry> <param name="track" value="13" /> <title>Voyager Nears End of Solar System</title> <author>NPR's Morning Edition - Thursday, November 6, 2003</author> <copyright>(c) 2003 NPR</copyright> <ref href="mms://wm.npr.na-central.speedera.net/wm.npr.na-central/me/20031106_me_13.wma" /> </entry> </asx> $ ---------------------------------------- What am I looking at here? How can I further grok what's going on? If I try that file (or that URI) with mplayer, it (mplayer) looks like it's trying to work but it freezes & I have to ctl-c out of it. FAQ/doc/RTFM/mailing list archive pointers are quite welcome. Thanks, -kc
