I started running this script Mp3 wget about an hour and twenty minutes ago, and I have 139…140 mp3′s and counting.
If you are looking for new music this is the shotgun approach to getting it. Maybe shotgun is too small a comparison. Maybe clusterbomb is the right word.
So what it does is it parses a list of mp3blogs that you want to hit. Here’s my list
- http://radiofreepolygon.net/
- http://www.3hive.com/electronic/
- http://www.materialcultures.org/gifted/

It scrapes the mp3′s off that site, and then descends one level down into every link it finds on the page and grabs an mp3 there. This wouldn’t be a big deal except that some of these sites have huge link lists as part of their blogroll. So, half the time I check progress the script is scraping some site I’ve never even heard of. So I’m a little nervous about how long this is going to go on and what kind of crap I’m getting.
I think after this run I’m going to spend a little time tuning the script. I’ll keep you up on the progress. If anyone knows of an osX 10.4 utility like this that is customizable speak up. It’s the new napster.
How’s my life? Girls stink. But fall is here, which means that wonderful smell, sweaters, extra pleasure in hot coffee and staying in. It’s why I moved here.
I miss my folks and friends back home.
just to note, when I finally got the process worked out I ended up with 320 files. I think the script is traversing too many directories. I’ll get it pared down and work it out for you.
