Well, this was quite the adventure, but I've finally gotten a lot more good soundfiles for my vocab cards.
Had to get tobberoth nofurigana plugin: http://groups.google.com/group/ankisrs/b...237dda4813
(By the way, don't know how it was supposed to work, but didn't seem to do anything, so I just configured it to overwrite the reading field with the new nofurigana reading, I don't think I was so supposed to do that. But did get it to do what I wanted to do.)
Got myself a nice export list with kanji's and of course readings without kanji's, so they could be used for the urls.
In Excel I added an concatenate function, to generate all the urls.
like this: =CONCATENATE("http://assets.languagepod101.com/dictionary/japanese/audiomp3.php?kana=",B1,"&kanji=",A1,"")
Copied all the urls to another list.
Imported that list into a downloader, pressed automatic download.
Renamed the whole batch to something generic and logic.
Put the sound file names in my excel file.
Configured the overwrite plugin to do overwrite things.
And now finally almost all of my vocab files have got soundfiles!!
So if anyone else was still planning to get some vocab files, it's quite manageable to do so. And even more so if you already have a clean-kana-only list with the readings, that was the biggest challenge in getting these files. But with the nofurigana plugin also a piece of cake.
