This gig is absolutely wonderful:

Does anybody know how to extract audio from a flash player?

I hope someone knows. I want to hear that gig but its not avaiable where I live.

Just Don't Need This sounded good live.

I'd extract it but my country isn't in the allowed list :(

Ditto.

Maybe you could just record Maria?

Can't get it here either. But at least now I have a record of the setlist from the Angels tour, thanks!

^ And you might hear your favourite song ever live again! :P

The problem is, flash player uses flv files. These were built to run with WIndows 98. So, the software that could extract it, if it did exist, would use a system 16 function protocol. Anything above Windows 98 would not run the software as the commands are too old.

Which is a shame. Mult-Windows functions or backward compatability as its known is somthing Microsoft seriously need to introduce.

I have tried and tried and tried... but I can't extract anything, no file whatsoever. Argh, I really want this gig!

Another reason is that the strands of code ( or the audio/imagry ) are protected. If whatever software you are using is unable to do it, the code is encrypted to prevent you from doing it at all. It is to prevent software piracey.

To get the sound you need a simple program that will record the sound directly from your soundcard.

The downside is you have to play everything in full, and make sure no other sounds are played e.g. msn messenger sounds while you are recording.

You can use Audacity or other free programs found on download.com

Which one is that then? :P

Damn it.

But am I the only one who can listen to it?

If you have Firefox, look for an add-on called Firebug. When enabled it lists a direct url to all the content in a webpage, you'll just have to look for a file big enough to be the audio/with an mp3/flv extension etc and right click > copy link & open in a new window to download.

If it's a stream, you need WM Recorder.

I can't play it too :/

:) Isn't it Just Don't Need This, or am I wrong?

And can't you just use Audacity Maria? That should work.

It's not my favourite, but definatly one of my faves from the AWDF album.

My faves are Run For Cover, Stronger, and Follow Me Home. :D

It still doesn't work.

And Firebug? How do I use that?

Check your browser cache, for firefox you'll need to try rename the files first, or use a hex editor to find out what the headers are. I don't think firebug can get URLs that are in swf files, I tend to have to use a packet sniffer on them.

flv files can be played in VLC, and the Riva FLV encoder works on XP so you can always use that to convert them.

wooow they're trying to put Portugal on that list so yeaah!

so hope somebody will rip it or record...coz I really love to hear Just dont need this live...so please somebody :(

I don't think we're gonna get this audio... :(

Maria have you tried emailing the makers of the software you are using?

They created it so they may be of some good assistance.

^ :P

Excuse me, could you tell me how to rip the audio from your software so I can share it with all my Sugafriends on Sugababes UK please?

woops i forgot about that...

Well i hope there is a way.. cause id love to hear the audio

triakel did you have to register to hear it? I managed to get past the country bit, but it wants me to register a paid account (I'm using a German proxy). If not what country are you in?

Yes, I had to register, but it's free for 7 days, so I have to find out a way to save this fantastic gig before I have to pay. I'm in Sweden btw.

This is a guess, but somtimes features are removed from a "free" or "trial" version of somthing to enable or encourage you to buy the full version.

Perhaps the bye version would enable the feature you desire.

How odd... it made me pay right away :o

Can't you just do the sound card recording with Audacity?

I have tried and tried, but somehow I just can't seem to record it. God damn, this gig is just awesome. But sorry guys, it just won't work. Please tell me one of you is having better luck with this.

SO???? I can't even open that page now.... WTH? :'(

It may of expired. Depends on the error message you got.

oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :(

Everyone get this?
When I try to open http://www.spodtroniclive.com I get http://www.spodtronic.com/en/index.html, but that's another site...isn't it?

More or less than error means the site has been removed. When you click on a webpage. your browser requests permission to use it, and if it cannot get a reply it throws that error.

The older the site or page, the less chance there is of it being avaliable.

That's sad news... :'(

OK, now it wants login and password. When I click cancel it says

"Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) PHP/5.2.5 Server at spodtroniclive.com Port 80"

Anyone can register or do something? Look at this http://spodtronic.com/en/specialpage.html?pid=3

Anyone can try and install it? Maybe it will work?

I just don't khow what to do. :'( :'( :'(

I Cant get it either

Thats a Unix port. If you are using Windows Internet Explorer it wont work cause Windows API doesnt understand the Unix OS commands.

I think we're just going to have to realise that we're never gonna get our hands on this gig. Which is such a shame, since it was simply fantastic, and if the site would have been up today, I would have known how to rip it properly.
