Download .mp3 and add to container field

[rlinsurf]

I have the download url's I need, but I now need to download the actual file and then add it to a container field for use. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

you could use the Send Event script step with wget.exe

i guess for the mac it would just be "wget"

Can you tell me the exact script step to do that with. I'm really kind of new at doing URL's in FM.

on mac its "Apple Script" or something like that (i dont use a mac)

you should use a command like this :

wget "http://mp3.com/superbeats.mp3"

look at the man page for wget to specify a download folder

after the file is downloaded you can import it to your container field

instead of "wget", i understand "curl" comes already installed on mac os maybe try using that

try googling curl or wget to learn how to use that and maybe try a search in this forum for Apple Script

Thanks : I very much appreciate the help.

I think I'm going to use AppleScript. I found some scripts posted out there which seems to do the trick. I've been posting about various problems I've been having with that, but I think I'm at least on the right track.

I know it's not windows, but if you'd like me to post me final working result here, just let me know.
