You can use url hacks to download mp3 files from myspace. Why would someone want to use an url hack if a much easier method exists ? All you need is the freeware MySpace MP3 Gopher. Once installed you paste a friend id into the mp3 gopher and activate the button get song listing. Myspace MP3 Gopher then connects to myspace and downloads a listing of all available songs from that friend id.
All that is left to do is double click on song and click on download or preview. Download will immediatly download the song to your hard drive while preview plays the song. This method is free, it is easy and fast. The tool is designed for Microsoft Windows computers but they also have a online version on their website for all other operating systems. You need one additional dll to preview mp3 songs that should be placed in the same folder as the executable. Did I mention that this program can be run from any location because it does not install itself and does not change your settings ?
Finding a friend Id might be a little bit tricky – I will explain the basic concept here. You visit a webpage that has a music player and some songs listed that you can listen to: For example this one called zombienation. You see four songs that are ready to play but no friend id on that page. What you do is you click on a link that reveals the friend id – for example Pictures or Videos. The next page lists the friend id in the url, just copy that number and paste it into myspace mp3 gopher and you are ready to rock..

You might want to give credit to where you found this:

I did not found it there, thanks..
@ SlasSim – Why would you think this was taken from the site you mention? It would appear to have been taken from the “Gopher”.
However, it should be pointed out that it isn’t necessary to click on “pics” or “video” to obtain the Friend ID. Doing so, by the way, requires that you be logged in and that might not be desired.
Simply put your cursor over the word “pics” or “video” and look at the command line (url) at the (almost) bottom of the page. The Friend ID is contained within. Using “pics” is better as the Friend ID is displayed at the end of the line, whereas it’s buried in the middle when using “video”
The name of the additional .dll file needed is “Bass” and users will see how to download it at the Gopher site.
You’re doing such a great job with this site Martin. 5-stars!
Thanks for the compliments Lorissa. I actually visited digg.com and saw the story there and read the comments on that site only. I did not visit tech-recipes.
Someone in the comments mentioned the tool and I searched for it in google. I thought the tech recipes site had just another url hack.
Lorissa you are right with the friend id but you can see it also by clicking on the link without being logged in. This way you can copy the id instead of remembering it. No big deal I know.
Hmmm, clciking on the link using either FireFox or IE requires me to login before I can access the “pics” or “videos” page.
Also, there is no need to remember the Friend ID because whether you use the online or download version, the “Gopher” resides on top and therefore you can place your cursor over “pics” or “videos” to display the ID and at the same time simply type in the ID in Gopher.
By the way, it should also be pointed out that the online vs. download versions work a little differently.
Cheers.
Lorissa that is right of course but you see the url in the address bar and that’s where the friend id is. It is basically the same principle with hovering over the url.
But you are right, if gopher is residing on top it is as easy to type the id in..
Well, after all that (the hype), it seems neither the downloaded or online version actually work for me at all. Oh, the files are downloaded without difficulty, but the quality of the sound is very bad. Tons of stops and starts. Maybe I’m doing something wrong or perhaps this program just won’t run on my system. Or, maybe myspace has already done something to prevent this software from working. Anybody else downloaded a music file with this program today and actually listened to it?
Try this for me, you should like the song either way. Please download “Believe” for the following site (Friend ID = 80554908):
http://www.myspace.com/suziemcneilmusic
Thanks.
Please disregard previous post. I was trying to play all those files using BSPlayer (which has been the best player for me), but I switched to VLC and the songs play prefectly. So, it must be a timing issue with BSPlayer or my system?
However, if this has happened to me, it might also happen to others.
Lorissa they played fine for me in winamp, did not notice what you said, must be bsplayer related then.
But good advice for people with similar problems..
Thanks Martin. Yes, it has to be BSplayer, because in addition to VLC, I’ve now tried winamp and wmp and all work fine with these files.
As a side note, I thought you didn’t think winamp was worthy of adding into your recent poll on “players” when I suggested it, but you’re using it yourself? :)
Lorissa the poll was about video players ;)
Winamp plays videos Martin. ;)
I know but I always consider it a mp3 player. Its visa versa with bsplayer, I consider it a video player and not a mp3 player ;)
it is not good.a goopher download a file mp3,but i don’t listen with wmp.a file it is 500 ko.is it normaly?
“e n’est pas bon.le goopher charge les fichier mp3 mais je ne peux pas les ecouter avec wmp.les fichier font 500 ko.c’est normal?”
what does this mean?
“The *Little*, *brown*, *furry* *rodents*” ?

Will I lose my myspace account by using this to download music from myspace? Just asking, if i wont then i may consider downloading this prog

any ideas or similar problems?
it says conecting and it does not donwload is this a fake software because mine doesnt look like the one in the picture why is that ..???????????????????????????
greed89 i got this error too i tried the prog today to dl this german gummy bear song and i got the netstream play error failed Processed 3,660 bytes from RTMP server…’ but this value doesnt change exactly the same as your situation
i cant find that song anywhere but myspace
Er..same here, I’ve been trying to download a song with MP3 Gopher..but, an error popped out.
Anybody here can help me out by downloading the song with MP3 Gopher? Heres the link ro access the page.
http://www.myspace.com/carriestatic . PS : I want to download a song titled ‘Sounds Like Display’. If you’re done, can you send the song to me via MSN/Yahoo? MSN : SirReinz@hotmail.com Yahoo : elreinz@yahoo.com
i think tom patched this because i tried this prog on a german song its gummibear by gummibar, its german but its a cool tune, i actually had to record it with my goldwave wav editor like thru my sound card on stereo mix and the song stopped then it started back up where it left off but i was able to seamlessly edit it back so i now have that on my ipod
I tried to download a song from here;
http://www.myspace.com/stephenbelangersmusic
But it doesn’t seem to work… :(
I’d really like to get it to download properly though, because the songs are really cool but nobody seems to know when the CD will be out and he won’t respond to my messages.
I tried using Goldwave to record it, but my internet is slow, so the stream pauses all the time and screws up the recording and I’m not really very good at editing stuff.
Cyruz:
Ive even tried to use a url snooper prog with no luck but i think if you open up one of the .xml files that are in temp internet files folder in a text editor like notepad you might find something that refers to an mp3 file i dunno, im not really good at stuff like this xml hacking stuff
