Are you trying to stream a MP3 or are you trying to download it no

the console. Since it's all binary data, this is not very useful.

What you need to do is open a file and write the download contents to it.
One way to do this is:

require 'net/http'
url = "http://stream.esvmedia.org/mp3-play/hw/19023001-19023006.mp3&quot;
res = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(url))
File.open('output.mp3','w') do |f|
  f.write(res.body)
end

For more information on writing to files, see

Make sure you open the file with "wb" instead of "w" to use binary mode?

require 'net/http'
url = "http://stream.esvmedia.org/mp3-play/hw/19023001-19023006.mp3"
res = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(url))
File.open('out.mp3','wb') do |f|
  f.print(res.body)
end

i tried the code above but did not get it work.

require 'open-uri'

  file.print open('
onegoodmovemedia.org).read
end
