How to Download Myspace MP3 Music

Music: Uncle Mark - Stuck Inside

Have you ever wanted to download a song from Myspace? Ever wanted it in an easy .MP3 format for your music player?

Well with 10 minutes of my time on a pretty quite Sunday, I figured it out. The software is called Myspace MP3 Gopher v2.9.1, which allows you to download any song from Myspace. The process is pretty simple and straight forward.

Download Myspace MP3 Gopher via File Front.

Download MySpaceMP3Gopher.exe

Second Download Location MySpaceMp3Gopher.exe

Here is how the software works.

Open Myspace MP3 Gopher
Enter the Friend ID via Myspace URL
Click Get Song List
Click Settings
Click Default (To randomize the ports)
Double click the song in the list
Save the File to your desktop
Wait until the Flash player is fully loaded
Then press the "Download" button

If you encounter a message on the Myspace player that states. ERROR CONNECTING simply continue to try, or go back to step 5...and try once again.

If you have an issues post here and I will do my best to help you out. Good luck, and happy listening.

how do u know when it's done donloading

david - October 13th, 2007
It will saying download complete, and give you the MP3.

anonymous - October 16th, 2007
dont work

frost - October 16th, 2007
Checked October 16th 2007. Directions work as stated.

You must be doing something wrong. Instead of just saying "Don't Work" why not enlighten david on how you tried and what part did not work.

I believe that is called Constructive Criticism, what you gave him is called an idiotic remark. Chances are no one will even try to help you other than this comment.

david - November 04th, 2007
Thanks for that FrosT, please explain your issue.

anonymous - November 14th, 2007
i downloaded ur mp3 gopher and it worked but i closed it out and now i cant find out were it is at

anonymous - November 14th, 2007
can u tell me where it would be on my computer

david - November 15th, 2007
Depends where you download the program. I always download programs to my desktop.

frost - November 15th, 2007
To anonymous on Nov. 14th.

David is right, it is hard to say. The most common spot would be C : / Program Files/xxxxxxx

I put xxxxxx because I am not sure if it would be "Gopher" or if there is another company who makes "Gopher", but that is where it would be located at.

anonymous - November 27th, 2007
It always says that it can't convert the RTMP (or whatever) stream to an mp3 for me. So it connects, but then there's nothing.

anonymous - December 04th, 2007
Yeah, it says " Unable to load flash player. Make sure you have flash installed"
Any help?

david - December 04th, 2007
You may need to restart the program, and try again. This has happened, but it will eventually work.

anonymous - December 12th, 2007
Hey I just want to say thanks for the guidance. The information help alot.

anonymous - December 12th, 2007
How do you know it's fully loaded? I just wait for ten minutes to be sure, and then I click play. But then it just stops recording in the middle of the song. What do I do?

david - December 12th, 2007
Clear your internet cache, and try until you receive complete audio capture.

anonymous - December 18th, 2007
thanks!

anonymous - December 23rd, 2007
tjamk you was looking every were for this every one had dead links

anonymous - December 24th, 2007
yo duders.
I complied with all the instructions,
but as soon as I hit "get the song" I get an error pop up that states, "could not retrieve songlist from the target ID, Please try again!"

is it supposed to do that every time?
I gave it some time but it's still doing it.
am I doing anything wrong?

- any help would be appreciated.

anonymous - December 27th, 2007
You are right frost, and it is still working today, Wed. Dec. 26, and on Vista Home Premium no less!! Thank you david, I was forced to go this route because several of my friends on MySpace are awesome bands, singers and songwriters, and they occasionally give you a free download. Well, I can't get Firefox (my preferred browser) nor Internet Exploder to download the songs. david, your easy and excellent instructions are a God send, and for what it's worth anonymous, MP3 Gopher does work. Just follow the directions and you should be good to go. Kudos david!!

anonymous - December 27th, 2007
My bad anonymous from Oct. 16, I see now where you were given great assistance from both david and frost, isn't the Internet awesome?!?!

Again, sorry for the dis dude.

anonymous Dec. 24, I haven't run into that problem yet, but I'm using it very sparingly, as I play in a band myself. If I do run into it and figure out a solution, I've bookmarked this page to return and help you out. 8fa7b

anonymous - December 27th, 2007
yo guys im getting the same problem as anonymous - dec. 24...

im making sure im following the instructions pefectly but i get some error pop up saying how it get get the songlist or whatever.

anonymous - December 27th, 2007

anonymous - December 27th, 2007

anonymous - December 28th, 2007
Ok when i download the music and its saved i try to play it and it says something about it being corrupt or somethign about codecs and wont play

anonymous - December 29th, 2007
yoo is this still legit?

david - December 29th, 2007
Yes it is, and it works.

anonymous - December 30th, 2007
YOU ROCK MY SOCKS OF DAVID! THANK YOU!

anonymous - December 30th, 2007
Hey David,
I get the error message that always says that it can't convert the RTMP (or something) stream to an mp3 for me. So it connects, but then there's nothing.

anonymous - January 05th, 2008
I have a problem. Followed the steps, song plays, but after it ends, the downloaded file doesn't appear on my desktop. Any suggestions?

anonymous - January 28th, 2008
Looks like MySpace found a fix to prevent this..unfortunately! Nevertheless another (slightly harder though) method is still working via: hxxp://www.devlounge.net/sidenotes/using-firebug-to-download-songs-from-myspace

anonymous - February 13th, 2008
Hey, thanks a lot for the file, the official site has removed it. C:

anonymous - February 15th, 2008
Thanks for the program guys!
Just one problem: I've managed to track the song I want, and start the download, but after a while it just freezes, and is un-responsive (in which case I have to use the Task Manager to close it)

is there anything I can do about this?

david - February 15th, 2008
try freeing up some memory.

anonymous - February 21st, 2008
lol how how how? how do i download this song called im just a kid in my mp3? is myspace free?oh ya im new user

anonymous - February 26th, 2008
This works..I love it. thank you

anonymous - February 26th, 2008
Alright, so... I've been looking for a live link on this one, and this seems to be the only viable option available.

I'm having some trouble, though... For some reason, when I go through the process, the Flasher player doesn't load in the little "Gopher" window - it just stays white for some reason.

I have the latest version of flash, I've cleared my Internet cache, and I've hit "default" a million times. :-p

Any ideas?

anonymous - March 01st, 2008
i click get song list and an error comes up, looks like this site doesnt work anymore. damnit

anonymous - March 07th, 2008
I cant seem to find the Gopher file on my computer and I havent deleted...where can I find it??

anonymous - March 09th, 2008
i followed all directions given but once i click on the song to download, the artwork loads but the flash player does not.

please help!

anonymous - March 16th, 2008
iv done it al by the book why dont it work

anonymous - March 21st, 2008
okey it just freezes after its loaded and i press play then freezes and dies. ant ideas dudes

anonymous - March 23rd, 2008

david - March 23rd, 2008
No issues, I tried this but 1 week ago.

anonymous - March 23rd, 2008
works perfectly

anonymous - March 27th, 2008
Your thingie works great. Many thanks!
Any way to improve the bitrate? Or is 96 the standard bitrate on MySpace?

anonymous - March 28th, 2008
Ok, so I get the songs list, click download etc, and Gopher tells me this: "NOW... Press the PLAY button on the Flash player! WEEE!" The play icon is not visible, only Pause, I hit that, nothing happens.

anonymous - March 28th, 2008
nevermind. I am just impatient.

anonymous - April 03rd, 2008
Everything works great! The only problem i'm having is after i save the file on my computer and i try to add it to my iTunes. It says iTunes can't read the file or something. Do you know how i can add it to my iTunes playlist?

david - April 03rd, 2008
I had no issues regarding that...try downloading the song again...perhaps at a different setting.

anonymous - April 03rd, 2008
first of all thank you for having a copy of this file >< lol i ve been searching for this >< and now i have a bit of a question so when it tells u to wait until the flash player is loaded is somethign suppsoe to jump up? cause all i have is a white window above the download and cancel button? is something suppose to be their?

and after it allows me to press download i click it and the WEE thingy comes up but theres nothign for me to press ><

thanx in advance guys

anonymous - April 05th, 2008
I can't get it to work... could some one down load a single song for me? Please.... If you can please write me on my yahoo account
shannon_sings@yahoo.com

anonymous - April 21st, 2008
Thanks much!!!

anonymous - April 22nd, 2008
i'm having a problem with this -- the program will not begin the rtmp to mp3 conversion process. it just plays the song. i thought it might be a router problem, so i tried opening the tcp port set in gopher. no dice. any ideas why this is happening?

thanks.

anonymous - April 30th, 2008
uhm, okay. this is weird.. buuut, i did everything you instructed me to do. but like some other comment above, once i clicked the "Download" button.. there's nothing there. it's just... white space.

should i be waiting for something to happen.. or something? o_O

anonymous - May 02nd, 2008
thanx David and Andrew (the programmer)!

anonymous - May 12th, 2008
every time i try and use the gopher i get this message "sorry, the gopher couldn't convert the RTMP stream to an MP3
try to redownload this song again later."
i haven't gotten the gopher to work once, and i've done everything you have listed.
-eva

anonymous - May 19th, 2008
after you download the song where does it go?? i saved it to my desktop and its not there....

anonymous - May 27th, 2008
I'm having the problem when after I click download, there play button does not appear. Its only a pause button. I saw someone else had mentioned it, but my computer is doing it too. Can it have anything to do with a slow connection?

anonymous - May 27th, 2008
Okay never mind, you just really really have to be patient, after about 2 minutes it finally did something. Sorry.

anonymous - May 29th, 2008
Woah, I've been looking everywhere on how to download music links and where to download this gopher mechanism. Finally found it and it works great! Thanks so much(:

anonymous - June 03rd, 2008
it downloaded it,
but when i go to play the song on Windows Media Player,
it says
"Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. For additional assistance, click Web Help."

anonymous - June 07th, 2008
Absolute legend! Nice one

anonymous - June 25th, 2008
Well, the player downloaded nicely but I have tried several Friend ID's, including my own, it's my songs I want to download, and I keep getting an error message stating "Could not retrieve a song list from the target ID". Any suggestions?

anonymous - June 27th, 2008
I have cleared my cache, did a disc clean-up/defrag, I have 88% space on my computer & still when I try to download songs, only the first 1 & 1/2 minutes of the song loads & I get the message that "the download is complete" even though it's not all there. Any suggestions?

anonymous - June 30th, 2008
excellent mate

anonymous - July 03rd, 2008
is this..like...legal???? im just curious, because i think its possible for MySpace to track your IP, and then....its over......but i may be wrong...does anyone know whether this is legal or not?

anonymous - July 09th, 2008
when it was
NOW... Press the PLAY button on the Flash player! WEEE!
do you have to press play for it to download
or does it still download without pressing play????

anonymous - July 12th, 2008
it izint working 4 me whut shod i do

anonymous - July 21st, 2008
Sounds like a sweet program. It would be even better with a version for Mac. *wink wink nudge nudge*
Well...if you can.

anonymous - July 22nd, 2008
Do you have to press play for the song to download?

anonymous - August 04th, 2008
ive downloaded the songs but idk how to put them on windows media player....i can find the files!!! help me!!

anonymous - August 14th, 2008
hey is it possible that this can work on acidplanet.com? meaning some downloads the artist post up aren't downloadable.. can this work on that? or do you know any software or program that do what dis program does?

anonymous - August 21st, 2008
I did the same thing as everyone else - waited for a while then hit download and nothing at all happens - no file appears where you said you wanted it saved. So I hit play, and ho whee - yes the song played - but nothing was saved. Why is nobody answering this basic problem - surely we're missing somethign obvious?

anonymous - August 21st, 2008
ight it's like this when you double click the file you want, you hit download, then play button as you did... for your fault this is the solution. when you give the prompt of where you want to save the file as a mp3.. save it on your desktop so you can find it there..
hopefully this solves your problem.. good luck

anonymous - August 26th, 2008
once you have saved it how do you get it on to itunes?

anonymous - August 28th, 2008
alright so i downloaded this and the downloading process seems to be working great but when i try to play the song i run into a problem it says the file you are trying to play does not match the file format....what am i doing wrong??....please help

anonymous - August 31st, 2008
well i don't know what to tell you bro.. sometihing is a miss there. just try to see what kinda file u want to save it as? other than that i don't know

anonymous - August 31st, 2008

anonymous - September 24th, 2008
Thank you sooo much, this worked PERFECTLY! =]

anonymous - October 04th, 2008
Thanks, this was SO easy! I was done in 10 minutes!

anonymous - October 12th, 2008

anonymous - October 24th, 2008
This webpage still works:

anonymous - October 25th, 2008

THIS THING RULES!

anonymous - November 17th, 2008
since them new shitty myspace players ave gone up..it dont let you download new songs anyone know why this is???

david - November 29th, 2008
It works with the new flash player. No problems here. Just follow the instructions and make sure to allow it through your windows firewall.

anonymous - December 01st, 2008
I have the latest flash player and somehow i can't seem to 'load the flash player'... any thoughts?

anonymous - December 12th, 2008
hey, checkout out the band with the ID of: 334639537
earlier on they had a synth sampler but they took it off as soon as they put up their first song. when i press get song list it comes up with only the synth sampler and no song.
Help?

anonymous - December 25th, 2008
hey i have a problem. i paste friend id of band that i love.and i press get song list.but program cannot see the song that i want. if you interested i give the friend id 77226482 . it' called Dinamit.punk rock band

anonymous - January 03rd, 2009
I've got the same problem, after entering the friend id it gives me a list of 6 songs by the artist but 2 of the songs are different than the displayed ones on the site, i.e. from the old player. Still an awesome program, just wish it was still being updated to get the new songs

anonymous - January 03rd, 2009
ok, sometimes when you put in the friend id to get your song lists, some times there will be a new track not listed yet, how long does it take for a new track to become a streamer for the gopher??

anonymous - January 05th, 2009
It keeps saying
"could not receive a song list from the target ID please try again" I kept doing it..

anonymous - January 08th, 2009
^Same^

anonymous - January 08th, 2009
This is an absolutely fantastic tool. I eventually got now my all favourite song (from a band that doesn't exist anymore and has no CD available anywhere and however has a MySpace Musc profile) in my Music folder, ready to enjoy listening to it as often as I want. So easy to use

anonymous - January 10th, 2009
how do I download MY own recorded music to My Space?
I already have it in mp3 stored on my D drive.
I tried to mail the file to my My space address but don't see any evidence of it.

anonymous - January 21st, 2009
this works great, Thanks a Bunch

-Mr.Sinnerr

david - January 21st, 2009
Not a problem.

anonymous - January 28th, 2009
I did everything you said but it doesn't download the actual file. After I clicked download nothing happens. It doesnt show that its saving or anything

anonymous - January 28th, 2009

anonymous - February 17th, 2009

david - February 17th, 2009
Try another artist. Make sure you are allowing the software to run. (unblock your firewall)

anonymous - February 21st, 2009
hi david i downloaded the gopher ages ago but i want to get rid of it now. but whenever i try to delete it to the bin it says it is being used by another person/program. any ideas on how to get rid of it?

thanks, John.

anonymous - March 01st, 2009
i put in an artists ID number and it said that they have no songs
but...they have 3 songs.
and sometimes i can only get a couple songs from an artist.

anonymous - March 02nd, 2009
i put in the friend ID number and i got a list of songs, but its only some of the songs not all of them. is it because they didnt put it up for download?

anonymous - March 02nd, 2009
i got it all to work, except when its done downloading, and saved to my desktop, i cant play it in itunes (and it IS in the mp3 format)
how can i fix this?

anonymous - March 03rd, 2009
works perfectly. thanks a lot

anonymous - March 03rd, 2009
this use to work real good but now that myspace has new playlist this downder needs to be updated its not working..

anonymous - March 06th, 2009
omfg this is amazing.
i just dl-ed a couple songs and it still seems to work well even with the new player.

anonymous - March 20th, 2009
So this one MySpace page has 4 songs on the player but only 3 of them show up in MP3 Gopher. Any clue how to fix this?

anonymous - March 22nd, 2009
where do u find the artits id number? joeyzoe1@hotmail.com

david - March 22nd, 2009
In the URL. For all those who are unable to DL, I would recommend turning off your firewall, and trying at a later time.

anonymous - April 09th, 2009
WAT IS THE BASE LOCAL RTMP PORT? AND HOW DOES IT WORK? WAT DO I PUT AS THE BASE LOCAL RTMP PORT FOR THIS SETTING ON MP3 GOGHER IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK?

anonymous - April 09th, 2009
EVERYTIME I DOUBLE CLICK THE SONG I WANT AND THEN PRESS THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON IT WONT LET ME PRESS THE PLAY BUTTON--WHY?

anonymous - April 11th, 2009
This doesn't work very well any more because most profiles don't list friend ID numbers any more. Bummer.

anonymous - April 15th, 2009
THANX MANE . YOU THA SHIZNIT

anonymous - May 02nd, 2009
WHY IS IT THAT AFTER I PRESS THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON THAT IT WONT LET ME PRESS THE PLAY BUTTON TO BEGIN THE DOWNLOADING?
KRAZIEBABE311@HOTMAIL.COM

anonymous - May 13th, 2009
If The Artist doesn't allow "adding" or "buying" for the songs on the new play list, then Gopher doesn't work. If the allow these things then it does work. Someone go to the myspace page of a band named YOB. Let me know if you can get the song "Burning the Altar". I am leobuzzo666 on my space.

anonymous - June 05th, 2009
how come every song on the playlist dont show up

anonymous - June 07th, 2009
everything works but in gopher i only get 4 songs and some are not from the myspace page (pi theory)
the friendID is 317765855 so if you have time to look at it i d be grateful
P.S. the song i wanted is "slightly left of insanity"
thank you

anonymous - June 07th, 2009
Unable to see all songs available. Sucks, because the ONE song I wanted isn't on the list. User ID: 220088806

anonymous - June 09th, 2009

I Download the song, but it only downloads a few seconds of it... Used to work fine but now seems to not go through all the way... HELP!

anonymous - June 19th, 2009
^^^^^
529 bytes to be exact. And, like the others, it won't open in itunes... too little of a file, I imagine. Why is it cutting the download of the song short??? (used to work fine a few months ago, no changes in firewall settings)

anonymous - June 20th, 2009
It says it can't play in itunes and i can't put it in my itouch! HELP PLS!

david - June 21st, 2009
Keep in mind all that this program does is play the music from myspace, and records it with gopher. Gopher also does the conversion to mp3. The files are low quality 96 to 128 if your lucky.

anonymous - June 23rd, 2009
my flash player isnt working bro
what it dooo?

anonymous - June 25th, 2009
I'm having the same problem as listed above - I'm only getting 529 bytes of each song.

anonymous - June 27th, 2009

And my songs are all 1kb. Anyone has any idea why that is?

anonymous - July 02nd, 2009
Um this dont load all the songs, how you make this load all the songs?

anonymous - August 08th, 2009
alright so when i enter the friend id to the music page i want songs from it says it couldn't retrieve a song list from target ID. what do i do?

anonymous - August 12th, 2009
Right, this only picks up the old songs that were on the player, for example, i am trying to get a song that was put up in the last month. It only comes up with the old songs, kinda annoying really.

anonymous - August 13th, 2009
FUCK U!

anonymous - August 14th, 2009
why i can't play the file that i've download? just a few kb.. ?

anonymous - August 15th, 2009
Good job on the hack you fuck tard

anonymous - August 19th, 2009
is there a way to download songs from artists who have their actual names as the friend ID rather than numbers?

cheers

anonymous - September 01st, 2009
Hi i tried your gopher on myspace music and it kept telling me that the ID was invalid and all i did was copy and past the friendID number. help?

anonymous - September 02nd, 2009
hey guys i geuss this program is a little outdated cuz friend ids don't contain #s it seems anymore i tryed the #s on this page and it works.any upgrades or new programs that will allow letter friend ids

anonymous - September 28th, 2009
I tried this, but it only returned the first two songs in the playlist - and naturally, I was looking for the THIRD song.

FriendID is 35125609 , and I'm trying to download 'That Should've Been Enough'. Help?

anonymous - October 02nd, 2009
Does this work? Myspace had its updates. file2hd.com doesnt work anymore. Will this still do?

anonymous - October 06th, 2009

I downloaded it but everytime I open it to put the FriendID in it doesn't show! did I download the software wrong?

Hey sorry for the repeated question, but Gopher seems to work fine, but is there something we can do about the instances of wrong lists coming up? I'm trying to get songs from my favorite indie artist (who's album I will purchase as soon as its released) but it only comes up with 3 songs no longer on the player. Any ideas?
