Myspace we got a problem, a huge one that is. You might have heard about the vulnerability that allowed anyone to view pictures that have been set to private at Myspace ?

It seems that someone found out a way to create download links to the mp3 files that one can listen to on the profile pages of the bands that have a myspace website. The script to decode the myspace url and extract the mp3 links is working well and uses Ajax for ease of use.

You can use url hacks to download mp3 files from myspace. Why would someone want to use an url hack if a much easier method exists ? All you need is the freeware MySpace MP3 Gopher. Once installed you paste a friend id into the mp3 gopher and activate the button get song listing. Myspace MP3 Gopher then connects to myspace and downloads a listing of all available songs from that friend id.
