muxtape downloader / m3u enabler

This script adds 'download' links to any song on muxtape and gives a link to an m3u to play all songs in an external player.

I edited an existing muxtape downloader script, adding to it the ability to generate an m3u (winamp playlist file) to play the files from an external player rather than via muxtape.com's flash player.

Just look for the 'download m3u' link in the upper right on any muxtape page after installation. Click it and whatever mp3 player you've got installed should begin streaming the songs.

Very helpful for those who hate Flash's tendency to take down their web browser.

UPDATE: I also just realized that if you use audioscrobbler/Last.fm with whatever player the m3u loads in, this will have the side-effect of having your muxtape music tracked.

UPDATE 4/27: added tracknames to the m3u playlist, and filenames to copy/paste into the save-as dialog when saving files.

UPDATE 4/28: fixed a bug where the generated playlist and download links were incorrect, as well as some muxtapes where the links were 'undefined'.

UPDATE 5/4: Moved download links to separate divs so the songs won't start/stop playing whilst trying to save them.

Jul 6, 2008 nyquildotorg Script's author	Looks like the muxtape folks have taken steps to prevent this sort of thing from happening anymore. Oh well.

Jul 1, 2008 Bouphecr Scriptwright	"Muxtape has changed their CSS-layout. The class names of the song-container has changed from "songs" to "stripes" and the songs themselves from "song" to "stripe". The jQuery-queries should be changed to look for these new class-names to make the script functional again. Cheers. :)" this was another scripts comments section, so I attemped to change the instances in your script to see if that worked, and while it did call up the playlist again and show the fields under the song, it returned everything as undefined, so it was no use anyway.

Jun 30, 2008 Bouphecr Scriptwright	awesome script, worked flawlessly for a long time and was much better then being stuck with the inline player on the pages....but, as I'm sure you're aware, they changed the underlaying structure of muxtape today, which breaks every mux script. it seems like now it points to muxtape.s3 rather then s3. i do look forward to an update, i used your script pretty much every single day. thanks again!

May 29, 2008 Hao Chen Scriptwright	Awesome script, thanks! I love the play m3u in external player feature. scrobble++ :)

May 7, 2008 crash (chipm... Scriptwright	DTA http://www.downthemall.net/

May 4, 2008 nyquildotorg Script's author	I'm not sure what dTs is... I'll fix the double extensions, but it's really meant to just be clicked to launch your player. THe links to the actual files are time-coded, meaning if you actually save the m3u, it won't work later.

May 3, 2008 djackmanson User	When I downloaded the m3u, it came with two file extensions (so it was .m3u.m3u). Is this because I am using dTa?

Apr 29, 2008 Good To Too User	this hypem userscript is able to extract song names with Xpaths http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/23612

Apr 29, 2008 Good To Too User	The updated version works grand! Another site to consider is http://hypem.com/ :)

Apr 28, 2008 nyquildotorg Script's author	@ Good To Too I've uploaded a few new versions this afternoon. Try the latest and see if it works better for you. (I'm listening to the m3u generated for the muxtape you pastebinned in an external player right now.)

Apr 28, 2008 Good To Too User	@ nyquildotorg I'm using three muxtape userscripts fun I know. The 'original' muxtape userscript works on the site I linked ("Download me!" text) http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/24382 Your (us=25390) userscript's "Right-click to save. Copy/paste this filename:" does not work, and the generated m3u contains no URLs. The php reflector no longer seems to work though it was working great for me yesterday (yes, I host my own php widgets for it) http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25428

Apr 28, 2008 nyquildotorg Script's author	@Nemanja Yeah, the hashes do expire, so you couldn't just save the playlist to disc, but the .m3u link is generated with fresh expiration dates whenever you view the muxtape page. It's more designed so that when you go to a muxtape you can click to listen in another player without keeping the muxtape page open.

Apr 28, 2008 Nemanja Stef... Scriptwright	Nice mod nyquildotorg! Just had one concern about whether the m3u will work always with the MP3 URL's in there. I'm not sure if the hash/sig muxtape generates for the songs might expire after a certain amount of time. Maybe not, but it would be something to check out.

Apr 28, 2008 nyquildotorg Script's author	as for being more complicated: indeed it is. I'm laying the groundwork to add in neat stuff like Last.fm scrobbling support.

Apr 28, 2008 nyquildotorg Script's author	oh, I was wrong. that particular muxtape doesn't work for me either. I quickly looked through it, and nothing jumped out at me as being different. I'll play later. does the other muxtape script work on this muxtape?

Apr 28, 2008 nyquildotorg Script's author	hmm. it is working for me. Maybe I uploaded the wrong file... I'll play with it when I get a chance. I did discover that the playlist that my script builds is messed up; the songs are not in the correct order, and the wrong trackname is associated with the wrong file. I'm not sure what the deal with that is, but I'm going to look into it.

Apr 28, 2008 Good To Too User	yours seems a bit more complicated than the previous guy's muxtape download userscript: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/24382

Apr 28, 2008 Good To Too User	undefined happens on this muxtape http://pastebin.ca/W-chztWi pw: muxtape ;)

Apr 21, 2008 y3sak User	Hmm, weird, you're right. I had it uninstalled but I came back to see if you had replied. I installed it and it's working.

Apr 20, 2008 nyquildotorg Script's author	I've run across that a time or two myself. Mostly not, though. Did you try a different muxtape? I've been unable to duplicate it now, but it does seem as if I've seen that happen.

Apr 20, 2008 y3sak User	Awesome script, but when I installed it. All download links were labeled as "undefined" links. The m3u generated a list of "undefined" tracks too.
