Larry, Here is the grabit script you asked about. It uses vsound and trplayer, so I hope you have those programs available. #!/bin/sh if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "Include the URL or filename." exit fi vsound -t -d -f grabit.wav trplayer -q $1 echo "wait ... " lame --preset standard grabit.wav grabit.mp3 1>/dev/null 2>&1 rm grabit.wav echo "The output is in \"grabit.mp3\"" Good luck, Chuck -- The Moon is Full But you can get a few downloads from http://www.mhcable.com/~chuckh
