JDIC sound files

Psycho_Dad Wrote:If anyone using Firefox with it's awesome smart keyword search function (if not, take a look here) then there is a solution to download audio clips from WWWJDIC from your browser's addressbar with the help of the link provided by sugarlevi in one of the previous comments.

If you check out this link there is a looong javascript code. Change the '###INSERT YOUR KEYWORD SEARCH URL HERE###' to 'http://assets.languagepod101.com/dictionary/japanese/audiomp3.php?kana=%s&kanji=%s' and copy the whole thing onto your clipboard. Create a new bookmark which name could be anything. The location should be the loooong javascript thingy (which you've edited). The keyword also could be anything, but make it descriptive and short (I use 'ja' for the keyword), then save it.

After this you can download an audio file from JapanesePod101 by writing "yourkeyword reading expression" to your location/address/search/whateverbar:
e.g. "keyword がくせいせいかつ 学生生活"

After this something should popup in FF, like windows media player, or some other software which is associated with the filetype in firefox (not in your OS). For me, media player classic pops up, plays the audio (if it's available) and I can save the mp3 as I wish.

I hope this idea will come in handy for someone.

Thanks for this tip! I only tried this today, and it went swimmingly. Not something I'd want to do in bulk, but it worked for individual cards I was too lazy to add audio to whilst making them the first time.
