Myspace Music Download


Here is a very ingenious method of download music from Myspace. It is actually one of the easiest methods to download the music. All that is needed is a web browser which makes the method universal independently from the operating system.

Start by visiting the Myspace website and locate a page with a music player. Those are usually band profile pages at Myspace. The music download can then be initiated by copying and pasting the url of that Myspace profile page into the web form at File2HD.

Check the “I have read and agree to the terms of service” box and click the Get Files button. The web service will analyze the Myspace page and display all links and files that are contained on it including the music files of the music player.

The list that is compiled will be huge. Look for the entries Featured Playlist (Standard Quality) and Original Version (High Quality). Those will usually contain the direct links to the mp3 files on the Myspace page. To download any of them simply right-click a song and select Save As or Save from the menu.

A normal file download will be initiated that will download the selected song to the local computer. Got any other methods of downloading music from Myspace? Let us hear them in the comments.

    • Clark says:

      its low bitrate anyways, and download prices are rediculous now. i download the high quality mp3s if i really like the band

    • Tiox says:

      You’re already giving it away for free. On the internet.

      All this is doing is allowing people to listen to it for free when not connected to myspace. Unlike before, where they were listening to it for free when connected to myspace.

    There are several ways to download songs from MySpace, whereas I use File2HD most. If you use any other way to get the download links, they might be standard quality. Just replace the “std_” prefix with “full_” and enjoy full quality.

  5. djalminho says:

    thanks! I only knew about software solutions, but this one is great! especially the hi-quality option and the option to download songs not featured on the playlist!

    “The Original Version (High Quality) is not working”

    You can’t dowload the HQ version of a song if your IP address is in the US. Use a non-US proxy and you’ll be able to get what you want. Google can find loads of proxies for you to try.

    It only gives me like, a minute of each song when they’re much longer than that. They just cut off…any way to fix that issue?

      Double click the batch dump in order to download the flv content. After that, if you notice, the flvs are time completed. Just convert them to Mp3´s using another flv to mp3 compatible converter. I used Xilisoft´s 3gp Video Converter and it worked great. Batch converter seems to be only converting 30% of the files indeed.
      But there are always other ways around a problem like this.We just have to think it out :)
      Hope that helps you and others:).
      See you around.

  11. Rick says:

    It sounds like you’re trying to download multiple songs simultaneously. Download one at a time (refresh the file2hd.com page between) and they should come in complete.

  12. Thanks! I only knew about software solutions, but this one is great! especially the hi-quality option and the option to download songs not featured on the playlist!

    File2HD.com does not work on myspace’s new music player

  14. markus says:

    good one you have to be premium in order to get music files apparently

  15. Spawny says:

    there’s a new method on downloading myspace mp3 see here for instruction mp3dumper.net/how-to.html

  16. Spawny says:

    since myspace switch to rtmp protcocol to stream their mp3s file2hd.com stop working, there is already a way around to this using rtmpdump to download the mp3 as raw flv’s and ffmpeg to convert it back to mp3

  17. molly says:

    i can’t figure this out. can someone please explain?

    • j says:

      umm you have to pay to get the zipped file? that’s lame. screw it.

      • Anonymous says:

        Works great. Thanks for the info.
        P.S: Anybody having trouble with the links: use the mirror. Rapidshare is working, you may try the others as well.
        To get info, just follow the how to on:mp3dumper.net/how-to.html
        If you are into programming, there are lots of info relating code and stuff on the web, to compile the MS DOS apps on Visual Basic or any other programming app:)

        Thanks again:)

    or you can download Freecorder and that is much easier

    • Anonymous says:

      I´ll have to check that one out. Thanks for the info;)

    • Anonymous says:

      I haven´t tried it yet, but for what I see I believe it works by recording the audio which is passing on the computer sound hardware. If that is the case, I just have audacity who does the same. But in Audacitie´s case the quality is never as good as the original files on the servers. But as I said, I´ll have to try this one out.. If it is similar to Audacity I believe RTMP dumper along with FFmpeg is the best way to go though:). It downloads the file to the HDD, which is diferent from recording the streaming audio from the website, which may be compromised much easily with bandwith problems, which may corrupt the sound. Anyway, thanks for the info. It is all good:)

      • Spawny says:

        rtmpdump isnt a recorder , instead it work by saving the data streamed via the rtmp protocol into a raw flv.

      • Anonymous says:

        Yhea. I know that, and it works, I´ve tried it already:). I was just comentating with a person above who sugested freecorder, and that one I believe is a streaming audio recorder, similar to what Audacity and others do. I was just comentating that above:). But still have to make shure freecorder is what I believe it is though:)

      • WK says:

        the batch file seems to download the std quality 96kbps which aint that great, anyone know how to make it download the full quality? simply changing the prefix doesnt seem to do the trick.

        Thanks!

    lol im tryin to dl my own music to my computer since it crashed and i had to reformat and its wantin me to pay for it lol

  20. Hack the Ripper says:

    I see a bunch of people who want to hear music so bad, they’ll go to great lengths to ‘rip it off’.
    I also see a bunch of musicians tirelessly putting their time, heart & soul into bringing good things to the people.
    As if the music industry wasn’t hard enough, now thanks to technology, it’s all delivered on a silver platter to you.
    Builders – would you come & fix my door for free?
    Chefs – would you come and cook for me for a week?
    Taxi drivers – Sydney to Melbourne please. I’ve got no money but I can give you a free cd!
    Shame.

    • Marcus says:

      If you could lie and say that there was actually 1 melody, 1 tone or even 1 word that you yourself had Created, I’d say fair enough.. That’s not the case though, is it? Even the instruments you used weren’t built by your own personal hands, or were they? I’m quite positive as you’re busy spreading negative $$$ vibes online. :) Music is not for making money in the first place, but rather spreading vibes.. You’re just a chimp..

      • Hack the Ripper says:

        Great, next time I go to the market for veges I’ll ask if I can pay them in good vibes.
        Notice you were pretty quick to react negatively.

  21. reika says:

    i tried file2hd and thats wayyy to complicated…. i have to wait for a premium code or something from twitter and i may not get it??? fuck that… any OTHER way to rip music from myspace? :)

  22. Gloriel says:

    The files from myspace are protected by adobe and they cannot be downloaded with usual ways, you should get a sound card recorder and it’ll record all of myspace music. I use such a soft, Tunebite, it records myspace music and videos and also it converts audio and video files to the formats I want, mp3s, avi even 3gp.
    Anyway, if you need some help, you’ll find it here:
