Not sure if it will make any difference, but I notice that the mp3 files are hosted on broadcast.lds.org, which is a different subdomain than the original one you gave to wget.

Should this make any difference?

Thanks,

The odd thing is that I tried it without the -A.mp3 and it downloaded
106 files, some of them pdfs but none of them mp3.  Perplexing.

I am trying to download all of the mp3 files from the general
conference sessions that the church has on its website.  I think the
following command should do it, but it doesn't.

wget -r -l1 -A.mp3 -nd
http://lds.org/conference/sessions/display/0,5239,23-1-947,00.html

So, recurse down one level, only save files that are .mp3, don't copy
the directory structure and start at the most recent general
conference page.  What do I not know that is causing the following
output to come?

My guess: You told wget only to save .mp3 files, and
0,5239,23-1-947,00.html isn't an .mp3 file.

I couldn't get wget to handle it by itself either, but this will do
what you want:

elinks -dump http://lds.org/conference/sessions/display/0,5239,23-1-947,00.html
| grep mp3 | sed 's/.*http/http/' | wget -i -

Yes, that is a hyphen by itself right after the -i, don't forget it or
you'll be sad.
