But it’s like browsing mp3.com in the old days and you can find great new artists. Just downloading promo MP3s is stress since you have to be logged in now.

I tried for over 30 minutes to login and request a new password. The „Forgotten Password“ mails never arrived, using fake accounts did not work, and after i finally got a userrname/password from a friend it told me to enter CAPTCHA and then told me „too much login retries“. If DoS-attacks would be legal you know i would have destroyed their servers! Damn you myspace! After trying to contact myspace and seeing an FAQ instead of an e-mail or contact-form i was finaly pissed off.

I must say my dear artists: if a user cannot download any promo MP3s you’re lucky if user remember a bands name. As it goes for me i don’t make any notes. Sometimes I just bookmark some cool artists and then again forget them. It doesn’t often happen that i immediately buy an album – and you probably know i dislike iTunes. So if i don’t find it – no work.

Myspace is indeed censoring an artists promo actions by having the user need to register (and this just doesn’t really work).

But i didn’t give up…

…and so i found finally a way download my promos by using the nice service from File2HD. But i shall inform you that you’re not allowed to, since – according to File2HD – you need rights to access the original files the artists uploaded.

Anyway, as it goes for File2HD, it just demonstrates how weak those crappy commercial sites are coded. Almost every major social platform has major security leaks – otherwise downloads won’t be possible. I just want to encourage the guy behind the site to continue his war against the copyright mafia.

And since the service puts out nice URL-lists not only for myspace but also for YouTube including HiQuality Downloads i just can recommand it. Use it at your own risk!

P.S.: Have you ever disassembled the YouTube Flash Player? Have a nice day…
