Kevie, from the TuxJam podcast, continues his look at audio tools on the command line; this time focusing on acquiring audio files from an RSS feed. Save the latest file from a feed: wget `curl RSS_FEED | grep -o 'https*://[^"]*FILE_EXTENSION' | head -1` To get the latest episode of TuxJam wget `curl https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ | grep -o 'https*://[^"]*ogg' | head -1` However if you want the files from the whole feed: wget `curl RSS_FEED | grep -Eo 'https*://[^"]*FILE_EXTENSION' | sort -u | xargs` To get every episode of TuxJam: wget `curl https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ | grep -Eo 'https*://[^"]*ogg' | sort -u | xargs` If you wish to specify the directory to save the file in then use -P /directory after wget. To download the TuxJam feed and place the files in a directory called Podcasts in your home folder you would use: wget -P ~/Podcasts `curl https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ | grep -Eo 'https*://[^"]*ogg' | sort -u | xargs` For more in this mini-series of audio command line tools then see: hpr4249 :: Audio Streams on the Command Line hpr4287 :: Schedule audio recordings on the command line hpr4294 :: Schedule audio recordings on the command line - A bit of fine tuning
