MySpace Music Download Software

Martin Brinkmann — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:31:21 +0000

Here is a quick lightweight software program for downloading music from MySpace. The software MySpace Grab makes it easy to listen to and download any song that is listed on MySpace. To do so only the url of the band page or page on MySpace is needed. The software program scans the url by opening a connection to MySpace and displays the songs that are listed on that page after the analysis of the contents.

The user of MySpace Grab can then double-click on any listed song to listen to it. The small window that opens contains a small embedded music player that is similar to those found on many websites and a big download button. Pressing the download button will immediately open a save file dialog window which can be used to save the selected song on the local computer.

The process is pretty straightforward and great for saving the occasional song from MySpace. It becomes long-winded if the user wants to download several songs from MySpace as it would mean to repeat the double-click song, click download button in new window process over and over again.

Selected urls can be added to favorites in the software program to access them faster and easier the next time the program is started. MySpace Grab is a free 400 Kilobyte download that is compatible with all Microsoft Windows operating systems from Windows 95 to Windows Vista.

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.

Wap, Print, Proxy and Myspace Downloader Announcement

Martin Brinkmann — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 12:58:08 +0000

I thought I compile all the latest changes and new features in one big announcement instead of writing a single article for each of them. I have added two features to ghacks which might be useful to some visitors at least. The first is that I enabled WAP access to ghacks which enables users with mobile devices to read the latest news right from their device.

The second new feature is a print function. It is not working correctly yet but I’m in contact with the author and the issue will be fixed soon. The print function which is available on all single articles pages makes it possible to print the content of the articles without the sidebars.

I have come to the decision to offer the myspace song download script on another url so that everyone will be able to download songs from myspace by simply pasting the bands homepage. The script is available at unblockr.

Last but not least I have changed the proxy that was used at Unblockr for the last days. I think the new one is even faster and displays more websites correctly.

If you are one of the people who download music from MySpace this little hack might be just for you. Every time you look at a band profile a music player loads and starts playing the first tune of a maximum of four tunes. You can listen to all of them but download only some, sometimes you can´t download any.

This hack works if you can at least download one tune. Do the following to download every other tune that is on this page:

1. Right click the download link and select “copy link”
2. You receive a large url like the following (one line of course):

http://mp3download.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction= bandprofile.downloadSong&bsid=OldSongNumberHere&song_name= Title of the Old Song Here &fid=bandid

3. Copy this line into your browser or into notepad for further reference
4. Right click the “Add” link and select “copy link”
5. It should look like this:

asfunction:addSong,NewSongNumber^Title of the New Song Here

6. Replace

OldSongNumberHere with NewSongNumber
Title of the Old Song Here with Title of the New Song Here

7. Paste in your browser if you have not done so and wait for the download window to appear.
