HOW TO SAVE AND PLAY YOUR ONLINE STREAMING VIDEOS OR MP3S

It's cool to listen to MP3s (or watch movies) over the Internet. Often, saving this media, however, seems impossible. Hey, if it plays on your computer, it's on your hard drive. Once the file is fully loaded and with folder view set to show hidden and systems folders, now check for the cache memory of the browser you will get it.
for eg: If you are using firefox, follow these steps:
c:-->Documents and Settings-->user name(say like "kartik")--->local settings-->application data-->mozilla-->firefox--> profiles--->.....--->cache. now open your vlc player and drag and drop the files in cache which is having more memory.. now you get it...
after that you have to save that file by coping it and rename it with .avi extension.
generally you can play these files in any player if you have codecs like klm, strom. or other wise play them in vlc and enjoy.
