Scraping Music from Blogs

More on music via blogs...

Songbird is a cool application (beta version, so still with some bugs) that does sort of what RSS has done for blog feeds. In essence, it aggregates music files posted on blogs and brings them together in a single application. It's open-source, and is Mozilla-based (creators of Firefox and Thunderbird). Currently available for all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Check it out here.

Alternatively, you could also try a product called Peel (www.getpeel.com) which also "peels" and aggregates music files from blogs. It's Mac only, though....another reason to dump your PC.

I checked out the Peel site...looks very interesting, although didn't have time to investigate fully. When I get a free moment I will try the Download free trial.

I am a citizen of the Mac race...
