Could anybody write script to download streamed music from Ex.fm?

Ex.fm is an online mp3 listening service. It collects music from many sources and allows to stream them.

You can't download songs from Ex.fm directly.
Currently I am using desktop app to download mp3s, Songr (https://sites.google.com/site/getsongr/).

It would be nice if this could be implemented.

Site URL: http://ex.fm/

Sample song: http://ex.fm/song/129a

I'd be happy to do it, need something to keep my occupied tonight. I've already tested for any download hotlink protection, but it seem pretty straight forward. I tested this command and successfully downloaded a song:

wget --referer "http://ex.fm/song/129a" "http://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh918g6Yen1qaxi63o1.mp3" -O "exfm.mp3"

UPDATE: Almost done! As I said though, this will be for Google Chrome / Safari only, but it won't require Tampermonkey :)

Some updates so far on what I've learned:
(Don't panic if you have no clue What I'm goin' on about :) it's just as a reference for us, and for anyone who happens to read this later and might give us a hand.)

* Ex.Fm uses HTML5 audio (>mp3) as playback. So Firefox is out. That's because the Flash object in it's place doesn't reveal the mp3 link. Or I should say; I don't know how to do that, but I think it's pretty hard none the less.
* The code on the page is Massive, 500KB compressed, so it took me a few hours to come up with a solution.
* I managed to force HTML5 by doing this at the top of the userscript:

unsafeWindow.EXAudioForceHTML = true;

And because E.fm seems to stop yuo from playing the same song twice (for a while anyways), it's either playing it / downloading it with Gogole Chrome, or just downloading in Firefox.

So, playing songs AND downloading them will only work in Gogole Chrome, while doing this in Firefox would stop the playback ability, and only give you the download.

P.S. When I say Google Chrome only I mean a browser that can handle userscripts + HTML5 audio elements + MP3 supprt. Firefox only supports OGG. D.S.

gracias Erik!

Huge thanks! :D

It has API. It should be easy.
