tooltrainer 12 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I was thinking of building this myself just for the fun of it, but frankly I don't have the time and this is just something for my personal use anyway and doesn't need to be really sophisticated. Was wondering if anyone would be open to building this for me... All I really want to be able to do is open a page on SoundCloud, and scrape the soundfiles on it to a selected directory. Maybe specify a maximum number to scrape, starting from the first file on the page... but that's pretty much it. I find a lot of music on there available to download to my iTunes library, but it's so tedious to do one track at a time, especially when I find an entire set of say 20 or 30 tracks that I like. They're only 128kb as far as I can tell but that's acceptable to me unless I really REALLY love something, in which case I'll consider paying for a higher quality version from the artist if it's available. Anyway, is anyone interested in banging something like this out? Again this is strictly a personal bot for my own listening pleasure, but I'd be willing to pay a little something for it if it will help get it done. Let me know if you're interested... thanks!

HelloInsomnia 1103 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Ill have a mess around and see what i can come up with for you.. This is what you're looking for: (?<=streamUrl\"\:\").*?(?=\") Just make sure it is the first instance on the page and download that file. If you want I'll whip it up.

tooltrainer 12 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hmmmm... I don't see streamUrl anywhere in the source, even viewing the generated source in Web Developer. So yeah, if you wouldn't mind whipping that up, I'd definitely appreciate it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So yeah, if you wouldn't mind whipping that up, I'd definitely appreciate it!I think you are seeing new version of SoundCloud, while with HTTP POST plugin they are getting the old version. I noticed that a month ago when I was working on SC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LazyBotter 188 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I seem to be having a problem with loading more tracks via HTTP Post, does anyone know how to load more tracks? Using Get method? CheersCarl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
