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.

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 you need to to is supply a website or profile page of a band and the script automatically decodes the information and displays links to all songs that can be listened to on the website. Myspace randomly generates the links every minute which means that sometimes the decode button has to be pressed more often than once.

You are free to provide the short url of the bands page (ie. www.myspace.com/colbiecaillat) or the long one with parameters wich leads to the same website (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=8777613). Both links can be decoded and the songs can be downloaded by right-clicking them and selecting to save the link as..

Update:

Due to popular demand I uploaded the script to my webspace. Use it to download songs from myspace.

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..
