Title: Help w/ LMA Downloads
Post by: cottle on April 26, 2009, 11:56:37 AM
First off, if this post belongs in another forum, I apologize, I'm still learning my way around TS.

I'm curious as to whether or not there's a way to download multiple flac files at once from archive.org.  I usually get the mp3's, b/c I can fit a whole show (or even multiple shows) onto one disc, and they'll play in my car...but I don't want to get in the habit of having mp3 discs lying around...I've got to keep them separate from all my other shows, and make sure to give a disclaimer to anyone who wants a copy...so I've decided to start trying to download the FLAC versions instead.  The problem I have is...if i do mp3, I can download the whole show at once, if I go FLAC, I've got to go one song at a time.  Is there any way around this?  Any help is much appreciated!

This might be helpful to you:

Once installed, you can simply right-click on the LMA page of the show you want, select "DownloadThemAll" and select the FLACs from the list.

Thanks AB!  I knew they're had to be a simple solution.

and it gets even better ;)

put this in the filter

/(.shn|.flac|.txt|.ffp|.md5|.info)$/

right click anywhere in the show and you will download only the text,md5's, flacs etc.  no need to manually select the flac files.
