Download NPR audio files with Safari
Authored by: jeichorst on Mar 27, '04 09:46:31PM

Thank you for your script. I was actually experiencing a different problem in that Safari downloaded "ram", "rm" (et. al.) files would not automatically launch RealOne and play. I had previously tried all tricks known to me (i.e., using More Internet, cmd-i on the file and designating to open with and open all with RealOne, checking to see that the plug-ins were installed correctly, etc.) to no avail. Of course, I could always go to my Safari download folder and double click the file and RealOne would launch and play. But I thought, why do that when AppleScript should provide me with a quick fix. So I decided that a folder action script would be the best work around. However, being a novice with AppleScript I didn't know where to start. Your script provided me with exactly the starting point I needed. I ended up making two alternate versions. One to just auto launch the designated file types in RealOne circumventing the pop-up dialog. The other with the dialog in tact. End result, I have my fix AND you have helped me to start playing more seriously with AppleScript. The later actually being the bigger thrill for me. So, thank you!!!
