How to download songs (mp3) from Myspace

This post will show you how to download songs or mp3 from Myspace for free. All you need to do is to supply the URL or link of artist profile page in Myspace into Myspace Music Downloader.

Update

Check for latest trick to download myspace here.

In few circumstances, you might get “access denied” warning when you try to download the links that had been decoded. This is due to the song links are kept generated randomly over time by Myspace. If this thing happen, just press the decode button again and you should be able to download your favourite songs.

The Myspace URLs can be in this form:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=8777613
or
http://www.myspace.com/colbiecaillat

Please note, this thing works on Firefox 2.0.0.1 and Opera 9.02. and it doesn’t work on Internet Explorer 6 or 7. It will take few seconds before the Myspace songs are displayed, so be patient.

RapidGrab: Enjoy unlimited rapidshare downloads, no more waiting time

Good news to rapidshare users! Now, with RapidGrab, you will be able to download rapidshare files one after another, with NO waiting time. Big thanks to the creators of The Grabber, who had come up with such a brilliant service. Currently the limit speed is 128KB/sec (double the speed of my internet connection :)). RapidGrab is not only capable of killing the waiting time, but it also has the search feature to pull out rapidshare files from all over the net.

Even though we are told that we can only download 1 file at a time, Raymond over at Raymond.CC came up with a great trick on how to get around this limitation.

This tip which I am going to share with you is no where documented or taught in RapidGrab’s website. Let’s say you want to download a movie from RapidShare which has 7 parts (100MB each).

1. Generate direct link for the first part.
2. Add the direct link to your favorite download manager. Start downloading it and once it has downloaded a few KBs, immediately pause the download.
3. Do the same for part 2 and so on until part 7.
4. Finally, set your download manager to download one file at a time, start the download and go to sleep.

When you wake up the next day, you’ll find that all 7 parts has been automatically downloaded from RapidShare WITHOUT using RapidShare Premium account!

Wait no more! Get your rapidshare links and download them. For latest updates of this service visit its official site.

Convert any files without using any software

How many conversion software do you have in your pc? Well it depends on what kind of activities you usually do in front of your computer but I’m pretty sure some of you will need more than one. I myself have 3; pdf converter, music converter and video converter. Wouldn’t it be convenient if there is a universal converter that can accept any files and will convert them to any file format of our choice.

Zamzar and Media Convert are not only excellent universal converter but they also do not require any installation as everything will be done online.

Ok, here is the summary of these services.

1. Zamzar

- up to 100MB in size
- roughly 53 output formats under 4 categories (video, music, document, and image)
- requires an email address to where the file link will be sent.
- Bulk conversion
- 24 hours storage

2. Media Converter

- up to 150MB in size
- 179 output formats
- you can download right after the conversion
- No bulk conversion
- 24 hours storage

Don’t forget to bookmark these two websites :)
