Grooveshark.com is a famous web application which allows you to listen to ANY music and ANY song in the world. That's what they claim. And to a certain extent its true. I have found ALL the songs I was looking for and I think is actually has ALL the songs! Imagine if you could download this for free... that means you will be able to get any music of your choice any time, for free!!! Here's how you can do that:
Step 1: Go to Grooveshark.com and check out the site first. You can search for your song and play and listen to it online. If you have download managers to assist you, you can download the song with them. But the site however, does not allow you download more than once, or even once because of the usual HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Error! You may attempt to correct this or follow the easy next steps.
Step 2: If you have Mozilla Firefox (uptil 3.6* version only) then you can install the Video DownloadHelper addon. With this, while the song is playing on Grooveshark, the addon button on the navigation bar in firefox will glow on (Encircled in Blue in the figure below Step 3).You will need to click it and download it. But again, this may give an error. If it does, you can try the next step.
Step 3: If you have Mozilla Firefox (uptil 3.6* version only) then you can install the Orbit Downloader which looks like its designed just for Grooveshark. Once you download the setup file, run it and install Orbit Downloader on your system (its a very small software). Then, when you restart firefox now, it will prompt you automatically to install an addon called OneClick YouTube Downloader which you will not find among the addons in firefox. It installs only with Orbit. Once done, you can see it on your firefox panel (Encircled in Red in the figure below). Click on it and say "Download" or "Record" while the GrooveShark song is playing.
Step 4: This may still not work because of incompatibility of your Firefox version and Orbit Downloader Version. Now, what is going to work for sure is this. Install the latest version 4 of Orbit Downloader from here. During installation, Enable Grab-Pro on Internet Explorer and complete the installation. Thats it! Your done! It has to work now for sure. Go to Grooveshark.com and play a song. Grab-Pro will be highlighted and you can view the (music) files to be recorder perfectly. Now your just a click away to have the music of your choice!
I know IE is very irritating to many. But hey... when you have all the music for free just there, I think its worth it... isn't it??
