MySpace: Hack to Dowload Any Song on Myspace

MySpace allows you to listen to a lot of songs; however, only a few of them can be downloaded. This little work-around will allow you to download most music files.


9/2006:

The method described in this tech-recipe has likely been fixed.

Old recipe is found below…
———————————

Mysace allows you to listen to a lot of music, but they only allow you to dowload a select few of the songs. Here is the work around.

1. Goto the Mysace site that you want to download the music from
2. That page must have at least one song available for download
3. Open notepad
4. Right-click the download link and select copy Link
5. Paste this link into your notepad

You see something like this:

    http://mp3dowload.mysace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction= bandprofile.dowloadSong&bsid=OldSongNumberHere&song_name= Title of the Old Song Here &fid=bandid

6. Right-click the add link and select copy link
7. Paste this into your notepad

You will see something like this:

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

8. Now in the original URL just replace the old song number and old title with the new number and title. Paste this URL into your browser and click OK.

9. After several seconds, you will be prompted to download the song.

Here’s an example:
Site: http://www.mysace.com/monstersarewaiting

The one dowloadable song Christine…
http://mp3dowload.mysace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction= bandprofile.dowloadSong&bsid=535475&song_name=Christine&fid=7570106

The add link to Don’t Go…
asfunction:addSong,2373353^Don%27t%20Go^Monsters %20Are%20Waiting%2E%2E%2E%2E%2E%2E

The new hacked URL…
http://mp3dowload.mysace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction= bandprofile.dowloadSong&bsid=2373353&song_name= Don%27t%20Go^Monsters%20Are%20Waiting%2E%2E%2E%2E%2E%2E&fid=7570106

Addendum:

I figured this out independently while just playing around with Mysace. In the forums Brian Berris pointed out that he figured this out first. Props to him! If I had known it, it would have saved me some time. Feel free to check out his blog for a similar version of this tutorial.

  • If you are looking to promote your cause on Myspace and want to have a shitton ... You can create a playlist with pretty much any song!
  • stfuhannahh
    But how do you do it if there is no song on the page that can be downloaded? Is that just not possible?
  • i don't get it, i don't know where the download link thing is.:s
    and i really want this song (www.myspace.com/xtedroox number one)
    but i can't do it :(
  • Aimeeqqq
    Shame on you for posting this. How are these artists going to make money if people keep stealing their products!!!!!
  • thesmokingteam
    What products??? Those are low rate compressed songs lightyears from quality tracks.... It's just a method to listen on the portable MP3 or ipod for some time and then decide if the album is worth the astronomic price.... The big problem are record labels not artists, if it were for artists then the CDs will be cheap and anyone will buy everything. But today very few can afford to buy everything.... Others have to make selections, and how do you do selections if not with listening and comparing?
    I think I will thank anyone who makes my life easier, and if someone has problems with this then it's on them to make better protection. btw: it's on me to install an excellent alarm in my car to ensure it will be still there when I return back and no one cares if my alarm is not good enough, it's on me, just on me.
  • sebastian129
    what do you mean by "notepad?" what/where is that?
  • thesmokingteam
    if you have windows 7 just click Start and type notepad
    or click Start then Run and then type notepad and press enter
  • Thanks for the review. I think they did change their root address after ppl must've found out.
  • Yap this is a really useful info! Thanks a lot
  • Kaleb dar'Gern
    All you guys talkin' 'bout support are just hypocritical! You've never downloaded anything in your whole life? Movies? Games? TV Shows? A book?! Come on...
    And you seriously believe that the artists get a dime for their cds? Grow up! An artist profits through contracts and gigs, and if he or she is good enough, the contracts will keep coming! It's not piracy that harms them, it's the record companies!
    Ignorant idiots...

  • Be Serious
    Or you could just buy it and SUPPORT the artists you like.
  • Checkyoself
    You do realize that some songs created are one-shot songs- like where the artist does not survive the onslaught of the music industry. Then their songs are just there taking up space, and aren't being sold by anyone.
  • that guy
    what if the artist hasn't released the song and you cant buy it?

  • Can't downloading be legally done? You are saying that its "Hacking", which, I don't think I'll be doing, because even though I would be able to download those songs, all the time I'll have a sort of repenting thought in my mind. I don't wanna have that. Another thing is, I think its better to buy the CD or DVD of my favorite bands if I really want to support them instead of downloading their music that way,
  • Hey I figured it out!!! Why don't yall jus support da blood sweat and tears put into making the songs u like and just pay 4 for it!!!

  • Help!

    this is really bad guys. Some artists are really trying hard to make a living out of thier music and this type of hacking is really selfish and unsupportive of the artists you "hackers" actually like.

    i have reported this site to myspace.

    Dear Sweet,
    If you can't afford a cd just ask us! Do you know how much we spend on making these CD;s you want for free? THINK! Keep stealing and you'll have no more art to choose from. Your desire to want music will end because you will have created a world with musicians because WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO CREATE!

    You should use http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/musicplayerxml.ashx?b=[enter band ID]. Than an xml document comes up. find the title of the song(press ctrl+f for find, type in the title of the song and bingo its found)
    underneath it, do ctrl+f to find "durl" without quotations, and the url should end with .mp3. This is the download link, but it said for me that an error occurred in the plugin...Hope u can download songs with this! :D

    A program has been written to download any mp3 from any myspace artist. Figuring out the RTMP protocol wouldn't be worth it.

    The development page is here: http://www.mouseindustries.com/gopher/
  • Anonymous
    RTMP_Music have you been able to download any songs using that method?
  • Anonymous
    Using Ethereal (as people previously did) I saw where it was streaming from.
    myspaceflash.vitalstreamcdn.com was the correct server name.
    Using the XML file I obtained the directories and subdirectories of whatever songs I was looking for.
    You had the server and directory so what's the problem?
    The protocol is RTMP.
    RTMP is the protocol because Ethereal displays 1935 as the port and Adobe/Macromedia tells you what port 1935 means here:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16631
    Real Time Media Protocol, a Flash streaming protocol...
    Post on forums asking for help from people who know ActionScript. In the mean time, I'll do the same. Also, I'll start learning AS and try to write everyone a program that can rip the file upon URL request. I'm dedicated.
    Let's not give up!

    Well faded and shutup i agree with both of you in ways.
    But posting your band on the internet could help. I disagree with shutup about that. MySpace is so huge now that the owner has forked over millions of dollars in cash. It could be one of the best things you could do for your band.
    But I do agree that posting the songs for download is a good idea. I mean, where are you without word of mouth right? And word of mouth comes from loyal listeners.

    And as for faded I agree that the pirating and illegal downloading of music IS wrong. But lets not fool ourselves. We ALL do it. One way or another somebody will find a way to get songs/movies and post them all over the internet. And you and I both take advantage of that in one way or another.

    But how about getting back to the topic of finding a way to get those myspace songs? Anyone have ideas?
  • Anonymous
    most bands, those who are signed by a very small label or not signed at all i think are just wasting their time dicking around on the internet faffing around with myspace. instead they should be doing things the old fashioned way and getting their band out there, if they really are as good as they think. putting your self all over the internet is just asking for trouble. but i really dont think the bands who really 'care about the music' really give two shits about sending music files via the internet; spreading the word should be a good thing.
    there are always going to be people who make savefiles or yousendits of music, it doesnt really matter. if you are in a band and that is how you make a living, you dont have to live like a rockstar, if it puts food on the table, then dont complain.

    this debate could go on for all eternity.

    but what i was really trying to say in the first place was;
    ok theres a small band.
    they have no ep or cd or downloadable files so they arnt actually making money from what they do.
    i want their songs.
    what happens next?
  • Anonymous
    and btw if anyone cares my band is Overture www.myspace.com/overtureband and you CAN download our songs hah
  • Anonymous
    Well my band, for example, doesn't sell CD's, so we do make our songs availible to download. If there are any bands out there that don't let you download their songs and also dont have a CD availible, then they are just stupid, but its not a reason to steal their music. My point is i dont care if anyone steals from big bands on limewire or whatever, because they are already making millions, but most bands on myspace are really struggling to make money, and you guys have the nerve to steal their songs, i think its just wrong.

    actually dumbass, some bands don't have a cd, or a demo to buy. or downloadable songs on their myspace or site.
    thanks.

    You can't download some songs because certain bands don't wan't people to download their music. If you like their song so much, then why don't you support their band and go buy the CD?

    nice looking! that sucks tho. i wonder if the artists themselves have the option of letting their users stream at 192kbps?

    No need to do all that. This method no longer works anyways. Props for figuring out a new way of doing it!

    Good morning, guys.

    Mickey, I think that is a fair compromise. The recipe got on digg; that's probably why Brian is ticked. It'll be worth some gift certificate points... so if Brian wants to drop me a note, I'll be glad to send him your amazon goodness.

    I have cleaned up this thread a little too and removed some of the duplicated comments.

    Good morning, Brian. You are right that you figured this out before I did.

    I was playing with the songs and just figured it out though. I didn't know about your original post. I've linked to you original post in my recipe.

    Awesome job Lore. I have linked to you from my original recipe as well.

    Note to the techrx editors:
    To prevent there from being any bad blood, I'll turn over any gift certificates earned through this recipe to Brian. I figured it out too, but it appears he figured it out first.

    All we need to do is get the XML file that the player loads and reads. The easiest way to do this is to clear your IE cache, reload the player from the band's site, and look for the XML file that gets created in your cache directory. The XML file may not be easy to spot without a clean cache directory. The file generally follows this naming convention:
    MP3_XML.cfm?xmlfid=bandid&rand=xxxxxxxxxx (10 digit random number)

    Cut and paste that XML file onto your desktop and open it wth Notepad.

    Once you look in the XML file you will see the direct path of the mp3 song. For example: "92/12/57836332/57836332_d13db5fz.mp3" (this is an invalid link -- just an example)

    After this, append that directory to http://musicstream.myspace.com and you're golden. For example, " http://musicstream.myspace.com/92/12/57836332/57836332_d13db5fz.mp3"

    The streaming file is always 96kbit quality, while their downloadable songs are at 192kbit. I tested this using www.myspace.com/monstersarewaiting, since they have a song available for download. Their downloaded one is 192 and their streamed one, once I grab it using the method described, is only 96. Just an FYI!

    Yeah...I just get "asfunction:nt_connect,1" when I copy the link location of the song name. I get "asfunction:addSong,3820349^Fuck%20It%20Man^mellowdrone" when I copy the link location of the "add" link.
