MySpaceMP3: the almost useful MySpace music ripper
MySpace is a great place to find new music by your favorite artists. But if you'd rather not have to deal with MySpace's site design, MySpaceMP3 is an almost useful web page for downloading music from MySpace without actually visiting the social networking site.There are two reasons for that "almost."
- MySpaceMP3 has a clean and simple interface, but it hardly lets you avoid the ads you'd find on MySpace. In fact, every time you try to download a song, you have to deal with a huge pop-up ad.
- While the default MySpace player will let you know which songs you can download and which tracks you can just stream over the internet, MySpaceMP3 doesn't clearly make that distinction. It looks like you can download any track, until you try to retrieve streaming-only songs and receive an error message.

Dude!
Don't be so quick to follow directions!
There's another way.

Mostly, I think MySpace is a bit of a red herring when it comes to doing music business online. You must have the account -- you'd be crazy not to have a presence where there are so many people -- but it's an attention vacuum. I don't know anyone who spends more than 30 seconds at a MySpace page other than their own.
I guess this is why music scrapers like this one seem so appealing.
On New Music Strategies I've written about the five biggest mistakes bands and music businesses make with their MySpace page -- one of which is to treat it like a real website.

And (shameless plug) pick up the brand new free e-book 'The 20 Things You Must Know About Music Online' while you're there.
Loving Download Squad. It's an absolute goldmine and much appreciated.

Or use Safari on OSX and just use the Activities menun to rip any song, streaming or otherwise, as long as it has been played once. :) Pants quality though.

Myspacegrab sucks too, it's not even finding users that I KNOW exist. My own music as well as more famous, so it's not like it's particular. anyone know of one that acutally WORKS?
BenAug 25th 2007 6:28PM
Yeah. It was down for a few hours. Apparently overuse. But it is up again now.

Myspacegrab.com is up and running and there's no myspace grabbing website that I'd rather use.
It takes care of all my needs.
