Download Music from IMEEM, Pandora, Last.fm, and MySpace with Grab++
The makers of the impressive Orbit Downloader have released a beta version of Grab++, which extends Orbit's capabilities so you can download music from services like Pandora, IMEEM, Last.fm, MySpace, and Yahoo Music.
However, Grab++ isn't quite ready for primetime. Right now, every time I start it my browser crashes. Something about the browser monitoring that lets Grab++ capture music URLs causes Firefox and IE7 to suddenly quit.
If you still want to give it a try (maybe you'll have better luck), be sure to run Grab++ first before visiting Pandora or whatever social music site you frequent. Then start playing a song, and you should see that the download URL has been captured in Grab++.
You'll need to have Orbit Downloader installed also.
