I recently wrote an article about Free Music Zilla which allowed everyone to download ten songs per day with ease from many social music portals. Ten songs however is not enough for most users which is why I would like to introduce another possibility that I wrote about earlier this year already.

I suggest to use the combination of Grab++ and Orbit Downloader. Grab++ is integrated in Orbit Downloader which means that you will only have to download the latter to have both softwares at your disposal. Start Grab++ and visit Myspace. Go to a band’s website on myspace. Usually a song will begin to play automatically. Bring Grab++ to the front and click on the Music tab in the top bar.

A large random looking filename with the extension mp3 should be in that list. This is the song that is currently playing on Myspace. All you need to do is check that song and click on Download. This opens the download dialog of Orbit Downloader. I suggest to change the name of the mp3 so that you can remember the artist and song title.

The download should be finished in a matter of seconds and you are ready to click on the next song. Once that is playing you repeat the steps in Grab++.

The same technique can be used to download music from other social music portals like Imeem and iJigg. This is by far the best and easiest way that I know of.

All content (music, video, flash) that is found is added to the list with information about its name, size and domain.

To download an element you simply check the box and click on the download button at the bottom of the screen. The download will then be send to the Orbit Downloader where the selected file(s) will be downloaded automatically. You do need the Orbit Download Manager and the Grab++ addition to download the elements.

grab++

The following websites and services are currently supported amongst others: Pandora, Yahoo, Myspace, IMEEM, Radioblogclub,Youtube, Dailymotion, Myspace and others. I tested it for instance with Gametrailers.com and it worked perfectly.

Grab++ is currently available as a beta but it worked without problems using the latest version of Firefox. The developers plan to integrate Grab++ into their download manager in the long run and support more sites such as Last.fm and the RTMP protocol.

A slighlty more complex alternative to grab++ would be the freeware URL Snooper.
