Well I've seen a few comments about how people get music off MySpace so I thought I might share it with you.

http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/musicplayerxml.ashx?b=<band_artist_here>

Replace <band_artist_here> with the friendid of your band. Instead you could just go ahead and add a bookmark in Firefox which gives you a nice prompt for it:

javascript:var bandid = prompt('Enter MySpace Band ID');document.location.href = 'http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/musicplayerxml.ashx?b='+bandid;

Please no linking. Wrap all MySpace related URLs in code tags as you would on a "special" forum.

Fact is, I would rather go pretty must anywhere else. Beemp3.com for example.

with myspace you know the quality youre getting. you also hear the song first. and the links dont go down continuously.

I liked your idea of it being a bookmarklet Will, so I expanded upon this idea:

First bookmarklet directs you to the right page, second provides you with easily accessible links on the XML page:

Bookmarklets are here:

I did have a play with trying to combine the two, the event seemed to get lost with the redirection. Tried a timer too, but that got lost as well.

Any suggestions on integrating the two?

A while back I wrote a php version which does it all for you:
