Yesterday I introduced the relatively new music community Soundpedia that has an excellent selection of artists, albums and songs available that can be listened to using the build in flash player. There is no obvious way to download the music right from the website but there is an option that I would like to explain.

Before I start I would like to point out that the quality of the mp3 audio files from Soundpedia is not that great. The mp3’s seem the be encoded with 32 Kbit only which is probably not enough for most users. This is therefor just a theoretical approach to downloading music from Soundpedia which can be used on other sites as well.

I read about Soundpedia at Techcrunch for the first time and was pleasantly surprised about the functionality and look of Soundpedia. What I really like about it is that you can listen to complete albums using their music flash player. You can either search for artists or albums using the site search or browse artists and albums by selecting a genre from the sidebar.

The site search and browsing the genres is currently the only way to be able to find and listen to all artists that are hosted on Soundpedia. The method to browse the albums and artists reveals that only a few of them are listed currently.
