I have put together a baseball themed playlist on itunes

I am trying to add more and more but have picked up some nice things

There are some nice things on the internet ... I can hear them but I can't download them, one is the final few pitches of Koufax's 1962 no-hitter with Scully announcing.

For the most part I am NOT interested in songs about baseball like Centerfield by John Fogerty. I do like a few songs that were about individuals during an eventful season.

Here is my playlist (changes with new items all the time)

1. Take Me Out to the Ballgame / Instrumental 1:00 George Rabbai (Ken Burns)
2. Jet Set (This Week In Baseball opening theme) 2:11 APM All-Stars
3. Bobby Thomson's Shot Heard 'Round the World (Radio Call) 1:24 Russ Hodges
4. Talkin' Baseball (Giants By The Bay) 5:58 Cashman, Terry
5. The Natural/The Whammer Strikes Out 1:59 Randy Newman (The Natural)
6. Babe Ruth hits HR (Radio Call) 0:17 Various Artists
7. The Natural/"Losing" ... The Mind Is a Strange Thing 2:17 Randy Newman (The Natural)
8. Joe DiMaggio (Radio Call) 0:23 Red Barber
9. Joltin' Joe DiMaggio 2:53 Les Brown and His Orchestra
10. Baseball and Football (comedy) 2:54 George Carlin
11. Jackie Robinson (Radio Call) 0:22 Various Artists
12. Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball? 2:58 Natalie Cole
13. Larsen Perfect Game (Radio Call) 1:56 Don Larsen
14. The Natural/Winning 1:05 Randy Newman (The Natural)
15. Play-by-play (I Saw It On the Radio) 3:20 Terry Cashman, James Austin & Warner Fuselle
16. Willie Mays Catch (Radio Call) 1:28 Various Artists
17. Say Hey (The Willie Mays Song) 3:11 The Treniers
18. It's Bye Bye Baby/Giants-Mets fight 1962 (radio call) 6:45 The SF Giants Fight Song
19. Henry Aaron #715 (Radio Call) 2:10 Milo Hamilton
20. The Natural/The Natural 3:38 Randy Newman (The Natural)
21. Koufax Perfect Game last inning in its entirety (Radio Call) 10:49 Vin Scully
22. Talkin’ Baseball (Willie, Mickey and “The Duke”) 3:22 Terry Cashman

You can purchase applications that capture audio and video streams such as Replay Media Manager. Have you tried any of those? They work for with YouTube and you can convert the files to MP3 audio.

I also have a copy of Talkin' Baseball - Expos all the Way by Terry Cashman

Strange. It wasn't that hard for me. I just downloaded and started using it. Sorry if I misled you. I a malso weary of programs that ask me to reconfigure my system.

I will try the link ... thanks

thanks

I am not a big tech guy so that might be part of the problem also

I get real wary of changing properties etc etc

I thank you again for your attempts to help

Hey Hobbs I have a copy of the Koufax recording for you if you want it. I was able to get it off the link that you provided.

Let me know if you want me to email it to you. I used Replay AV as suggested and was able to capture the file.

Does iTunes carry the old Home Run Derby episodes? I know some of them are out on DVD.
