Powershell Regex For Extracting List of mp3 File Downloads

All you need for this script is the URL of the web page displaying all the LDS conference talks, like this one.

1. Paste the URL address into the script where it says $url = ...

4. Execute.
5. All mp3 files will start downloading to you documents folder to a subfolder called 'Conference MP3s'

Accuracy of script output is not thoroughly tested or guaranteed. Let me know what your mileage is. Feedback appreciated.
