Esnips is a popular file sharing and storing service that offers its members 5 Gigabytes of online storage space that can be used to host videos, pictures and audio files. The audio hosting comes with a music player that recently got updated having the result that Esnips music downloaders were not working anymore.
Esnips have added a referrer check to the music player which means that users can only download songs if they initiate the download with the correct referrer. The process of downloading files from Esnips is therefor extended by one step.
Most steps stay the same on the other hand. The user visits the Esnips website and opens a page that contains a music file that is played in the Esnips player or perform a search and copy the links pointing to the music files to the clipboard. The url of that page is copied into an Esnips download link generator which converts the encrypted download link to the unencrypted one. The step that has changed is the last one. Instead of downloading the music from Esnips directly or pasting it into a download manager the user has to paste the unencrypted url back into the web browser to be able to download it. That is an inconvenience but still better than not being able to download the music from Esnips at all.
Step 1: Visit Esnips
Step 2: Copy Link URL
Right-click a link and copy it to the clipboard or copy the link from the address bar
Step 3: Paste the link and convert it
Now visit a script that can convert Esnips links so that they point to the correct url that can be used to download the mp3 files from Esnips. One script that can do it is Zuhaib’s Esnips Link Generator.
Step 4: Download
Copy the Download Link and Paste it back into a browser tab. The download for the correct mp3 file should pop up immediately.

Doesn’t work anymore
Downloading music from eSnips is no longer an issue. The default settings have been changed on the site so now all files including mp3s are downloadable by everyone. :)

If you mean this “esnips downloader” executable, be warned: many say that it contains a trojan.
Plus, there’s not only f*cking windows, there’s us Linux users as well!!
And we will certainly not execute .exe files (not even with wine).
