That option doesn't gain me anything because there is a page for each episode. So I would have to go to each page and download one episode no matter how I effected the download process.

I found and am trying a podcatcher program now, gPodder, which seems like it may facilitate downloading and organizing the mp3 files.

Thank you for taking the time to help me, I really appreciate it.

Thank you again.

I looked at the source and Thunderbird calls them "X-Mozilla-External-Attachment-URL:" and shows them as though they were an attachment. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

Unfortunately, DownThemAll" also failed to download the mp3s when I loaded the XML file on Firefox. It will pull the html files with the titles and stuff, but not the mp3 files.

I did some searches for RSS tools and utilities, but apparently no other person has ever had the need to download a largish number of mp3 files from an RSS feed before.

I guess I just get to save them one at a time. Which is a real pain for podcasts with 300, or more, episodes.

Thanks,

Thunder,

Thank you for your response. I am new to RSS, and Thunderbird for that matter. Thunderbird shows them as an attachment, and the add-on acts as though they are (shows in context menu), which is why I thought they were attachments.

I suppose I will have to see if I can find another solution for grabbing files in bulk from new (to me) RSS feeds.

Thanks for taking the time to let me know.

Hello, I am trying to extract mp3 files from podcast RSS feeds and I found Thunder's Add-On on the Thunderbird Add-On dialog. It seems to be the perfect tool, but I can't make it work.

• Thunderbird version: 60.9.0 (64bit)
• Operating system + version: Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2 Tina (Ubuntu 18.04)
• Version of the add-on: 1.5.3

I have an RSS feed with twenty-two messages. Each has an MP3 attached. I can highlight them all. I can select a folder to download the attachments to. I can start the extraction and it claims to have done the extraction. But there are no files in the destination folder. I tried to do individual messages, groups of ten and all. The dialog says it has completed, but it hasn't. Or, it has put the files somewhere other than the folder I selected. I set the default to "Downloads" and tried that without success.

Am I missing something? Any help or guidance will be gratefully received.

Thank you,

Tater
