Hi,

I almost overlooked how useful this script could be for Jamendo users like me who prefer MP3 over OGG. With just a tiny variation in the target URL (delete " + '/?are=ogg3") it will do the same for MP3.
This may sound unnecessary but there are three advantages over the original download link:
- no need to wait in the DL queue
- I often face problems with the original Jamendo DL but never with this one (I'm using these URLs since several months now)
- releases can be downloaded as soon as they are published - no need to wait for the Jamendo internal DL approval which can take several days

So I suggest you clone this script into a 'Jamendo Direct MP3 Download'. I could do that, too if you prefer but I don't want to 'steal' your code.

BTW, one disadvantage of these URLs is that the cover art in the zip files is only 2-4k thumbnails instead of full size. So maybe you could add an auto-donload for the cover ('http://imgjam.com/albums/' + albumID + '/covers/1.0.jpg')

Finally, is it somehow possible to set the download target directory to e.g. 'C:\downloads\artist\album\' and circumvent the save as dialog?

Thanks,

MD

I only download the MP3 versions as a last resort, so the MP3 version of the script wouldn't be quite as useful to me. You're welcome to use my code under the terms of GPLv3.

I've noticed that the cover art isn't quite as large, but I just download the full-size version from the album page.

The download directory can't be set by Greasemonkey, only by the browser itself.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks. I cloned the script and uploaded it already: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/55253
