Are you trying to stream a MP3 or are you trying to download it no
differently than any other binary format?

What your current code would do is print the contents of the mp3 file to
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”
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?

the url is redirected.

try change the url with
