This looks amazing. I almost can't believe it...listening to Closing Time by Tom Waits as I type this.

I doubt this is legal for them, but I'm certainly enjoying it while it lasts. Nice!

Is this something I would need a my space page to understand?

Seriously. All I get when I try to listen to something is a pop up which plays a bloke saying "acoustic spot dot com", a login field for my space, and some html markup. The latter presumably so visiters to my my space page can hear the same bloke say "acoustic spot dot com".

Moz 1.7.12, XP. (Plus conservative cookie settings, host file "tweaked" etc).

Same thing for me, GeckoDundee in both FF and IE.

hm, here's the url for one song that I downloaded: http://a1140.v85191.c8519.g.vm.akamaistream.net
/7/1140/8519/1148370826/download.musicnow.com/
$4f2a2bab9e21de317ea5c0e4a23fecb8/premium/
788/647/402424/788647402424_1_7.wma

Notice the "musicnow.com". That's AOLs pay-for-streaming service. Which leads me to believe this isn't on the up and up. Oh well, I'm going to download all the songs I can for now. I've been looking for that flys album I lost a long time ago.

Hm. Well that works for me. Strange.

Maybe because we're not in the U.S., we're getting something else.

Looks like these are all 128kbps. Oh well, I'll take it.

Yeah, that direct link works for me too. Why does America hate us?

I wasn't too keen on entering my login information for myspace on somebody else's site, but I figured at worst I'd get some more interesting friends.

Yeah, though, massive violation of licensing terms.

Yay! Listened to Song for Europe by Roxy Music, and Back O' the Moon by the 10,000 Maniacs.

Cool site!

That's weird, whenever I click on a song I get the guy saying "acoustic blah blah blah" then the song plays, no myspace login though.

Then I thought maybe it was using the myspace cookie I have saved in firefox. But then I tried it in ie, where I don't have the cookie saved, and it worked fine. Must be something going on with the script they're using to stream the songs from musicnow.
