Sadsteve doesn’t work anymore. (Mar, 2009)

An alternative method.

- Install the Firebug extension for firefox. Activate it and switch it on.
- Go the iphone interface : http://www.seeqpod.com/mobile/iphone.php
- Do a search for the song/artist
- Click the “Inspect” button in Firefbug - and point to any search result.
- Expand the small grey triangle till you see the URL for the mp3 (right next to the words “green_url” - for those who know CSS - thats the SPAN name)

Cheers

http://sadsteve.com basically does what the initial post describes all via a simple interface. Just use the search function on the main page. Easy as pie….

it sucks, downloadhelper doesn’t seem to work anymore. oh well, i’ve found several other methods that work. i like the firefox cache method right now, or the IE temporary internet items folder trick.

Go there and use the third box down to search for what you want to download… Simple.

I don’t know how that sadsteve one works, not had chance to look at it in depth yet, but it produces exactly the same results in the same order as my seeqpod method, so I think its got to be related…
Peace.

I agree; the only thing missing from mp3 search engines is the ability to download the tracks. You should check out http://sadsteve.com for this type of functionality, which is one-click downloading and allows for full length streaming as well.

If all you need to do is just download a song or two, this site is a godsend- http://sadsteve.com

This is a neat little trick - but there is a much easier way.

There’s a media download add-on for Firefox that puts an icon in the toolbar which spins when it detects a media link on a page (flv, mp3, whatever). Clicking on it brings up a list of files, choose the one you want to download.

Unfortunately I accidentally uninstalled and now I can’t remember which add on it was! If you want to play detective, the icon was three colored dots that span around when active. happy hunting - in the meantime I’ll be using this trick!

Hmmm, the API offered by seeqpod is documented on their own page, see http://www.seeqpod.com/api.

The API described there uses a slightly changed syntax, where you can use your own API UID, which is available for free for every user, see “Edit profile” in seeqpod.

I used the API to write a small piece of win32-software, which can be found under http://www.absurde-zeiten.de/seeqSearch

Sorry for my bad english, my german is much better ;-)
