i'm on an indie group's myspace page, and they, of course, have a few of their songs up. under the player, it says "number of downloads today" and "number of plays" which tells me i should be able to download a song, no? but when i right click, i don't get the "save target as" - only "open" "open in a separate window" and "copy link."

is there a secret to this? i discovered a song i am just dying over in a podcast and the album's not up on itunes yet (trust me, i will be buying it in a heartbeat). thanks...

Usually if they let you download their songs, there is a button right under the song that just says 'Download'. :p You can just click on that and it'll download. :nod:

Some bands just wont let you download the songs. If its just not letting YOU download it, then I have no idea what the problem might be. :shrug:

Who is it? If you post the link I can check it out to see if you have to be a member.

Yeah - when I clicked it - it gave me the option to save it -so perhaps you can only download if you're a MySpace member? Because I had no trouble :o

You have to be a member to download the songs. Myspace is lame like that.

And, here's a cool tutorial on pirating music from Myspace - http://www.zeropaid.com/news/7502/How+to+Rip+Music+From+MySpace#2
