Are you trying to stream a MP3 or are you trying to download it no
differently than any other binary format?

I am trying to download it and save it locally. the file is in mp3
format.

I am trying to download it and save it locally. the file is in mp3
format.

What your current code would do is print the contents of the mp3 file to

the console. Since it's all binary data, this is not very useful.

What you need to do is open a file and write the download contents to it.
One way to do this is:

require 'net/http'
url = "http://stream.esvmedia.org/mp3-play/hw/19023001-19023006.mp3"
res = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(url))
File.open('output.mp3','w') do |f|
f.write(res.body)
end


For more information on writing to files, see

I just tried the code you gave me but I can't play the output file
(output.mp3)

i can't figure out why

Make sure you open the file with "wb" instead of "w" to use binary mode?

require 'net/http'
url = "http://stream.esvmedia.org/mp3-play/hw/19023001-19023006.mp3"
res = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(url))
File.open('out.mp3','wb') do |f|
f.print(res.body)
end


i tried the code above but did not get it work.
