The Hype Machine, available at hypem.com, is a music aggregation site on the Internet. The service basically collects information about newly posted music on the Internet and posts those information on the Hypem website along with a music player to play the music right on the site.
We have posted a guide on How To Download MP3 From The Hype Machine Website earlier this year which involved a Greasemoney script which offered direct downloads from the Hypem.com website.
The Hype Machine Downloader is an add-on for the Firefox web browser that offers similar capabilities, albeit in a slightly different form.
See, the userscript displays download buttons next to each track that was listed on the Hypem website. The Firefox add-on taps into the music player on the website and displays a save track directly in the player.
A click on Save Track saves the track that is currently playing in the music player. That’s slightly more complicated than the direct download links provided by the userscript that we have reviewed earlier.
However, it is a better option for users who actually want to preview the music tracks before they save select ones to the local hard drive.
In the end, it is a matter of choice and how fast the developers react when Hypem.com changes the way music is streamed.
The Hype Machein Track Downloader is available for direct installation at the official Mozilla Firefox add-on repository.
