Thinking about it, I did have a script running to scrape a bunch of MP3 blogs, so it probably came from one of those. No idea which, though.

You have a script to scrape a bunch of MP3 blogs? I'd like to hear more about this. How does one create such a script? Can an idiot who knows nothing about programming do it?

You could just bookmark this - he scrapes so you don't have to!

This is White Buffalo, blag.

Aaah, thanks iconomy. Knew the MeCha music geeks would solve it. Never would have guessed they were Scottish, though.

goatdog: I'm using wget with a load of command line switches - I'll dig it out and post instructions.

Note: this is slightly unethical, since you're downloading the songs without visiting the sites and viewing their advertising. Arguably no more so than using AdBlock, though.

1) Download wget (Direct Link). Unzip it into a folder.

2) Create a new text file named "mp3get.bat". It should contain the following text, all on one line:

wget -r -l1 -H -t1 -nd -N -np -A.mp3 -erobots=off -P"/my music/blogs" -i blogs.txt

Save it into the same folder as wget.

3) Create another text file named "blogs.txt" - this should contain the URLs of the blogs you want to scrape, one per line. Save this into the same folder as the other files.

4) Double-click on the "mp3get.bat" file - it will download all the mp3s linked from your chosen blogs into C:/my music/blogs. The window will close automatically when finished.

Bonus points: use Windows Task Scheduler to run the .bat file every morning when you first turn your computer on. New tunes every day!
