Flash player cache fun

This will show what files the Macromedia Flash player is storing in the Mozilla cache:

 find ~/.mozilla -regex '.*Cache.*' -exec file {} \;

If you are looking for music or audio files you can further filter this through grep:

 find ~/.mozilla -regex '.*Cache.*' -exec file {} \; | grep ADTS

or

 find ~/.mozilla -regex '.*Cache.*' -exec file {} \; | grep Stereo

When you have located MPEG audio files you can simply rename them to FILENAME.mp3 and they should play in any MP3 player.

You can also find Flash Video files. Rename them to FILENAME.flv. These are actually a form of MPEG4 video. These will play in MPlayer just fine.

Note that Flash streams to these files, so you want to make sure it has finished the entire song or video before you copy the file somewhere else.
