Since direct link, a CGI php and from a Windows Media Player

From a Direct Link to File
We have plenty of reasons for Joaquin Sabina
1 st Form. Put the mouse pointer over the link and in the status bar of your browser you'll see the link

2 nd Form:

A. - Da Click the right mouse button over the link and then hit properties

2. - Select All text where it says URL

From a link to a CGI that returns the mp3 file
We are plenty of reasons Joaquin Sabina

Well ... in this case is basically the same but now you'll see the call to CGI that is:

http://www.digitalsoftproject.com/oscar.rovira/space/urlmp3.php?Autor=sabina

What is the problem here? While in most cases this type of URL is not going to accept the Windows Media Player PowerToy musicvideo made with
Why? Because the script that validates the URL you put a URL is not considered valid so we just find that CGI url that sent us.

Note: Not always a CGI redirect to another url, sometimes the CGI generates the. I will set the example of the VH1 video page uses the following CGI:

http://www.vh1.com/sitewide/apps/mediaplayer/

asxmaker.jhtml? clipids = 1770378

& Site_type = music & asx_intro_type = wmv

& Asx_intro_slate = / vh1_slates/promo/staytunedvh1_416.wmv

& HasVideoIntro = true & vid = 57068 & = art genres: backstreet_boys; gene: pop

& Introkeyvalues ​​= art: backstreet_boys; gene: pop, video: intro

& Outrokeyvalues ​​= video: outro & activity = 28 & x = x.asx

This type of URL's are not valid in Windows Media Player toy, in a few days put a small program, which in some cases will teach the true URL of a file called from a CGI

From a Player
Simply right-click gives the payer and put in real

Note: You can not always give the right media player, then you have to see the source code of the homepage, you may find yourself with a cgi in the URL of the player.
There are many other ways that we can find a URL (link) to a song or video that would explain it all quite large, so finally explain how to search the page source code.
