beam-back Description
beam-back is a simple Python script to save streaming MP3 data. beam-back is a simple Python script to save streaming MP3 data. This script has been tested with my.mp3.com and www.shoutcast.com. If you want to make an mp3 for an infinite stream m3u url, start beam-back with the option -v:xterm -e beam-back.py -v %sVerbose mode will tell you how much data has been read on a particular stream. Hitting ctrl-c in the xterm will cause beam-back to stop downloading and save the stream to a file.The default name is "unfinished-stream.mp3" which can be changed with the -u option.If you find the stream is dropping out and losing link unexpectedly, try the -p option.Many internet radio sites use the .pls file format but the servers do not treat the mime type correctly :( You can save these streams in the following manner:1) save the .pls file locally2) from a linux prompt execute: ./beam-back.py -v pls_filenameOr you can set up both the two mime types: audio/x-scpls application/octet-streamwith suffix pls to "xterm -e beam-back.py -v %s"Finally, if you want to setup cron jobs, you can stop and save a beam-back transfer by doing a kill -INT to the job.
