I think WebClient is just a wrapper of WebRequest, so both of them will works the same.
You should use RegEx to get the URL, search this on MSDN, I don't know it works.
As soon as you get the picture URL, just download and put it in a picturebox.

Yea it's so easy to download a picture to a picture box but it's hard for me to use new method "REGEX" i'll search for this and check it Anyways,
Thanks Brother for your help!!

Code
Dim input as String = New WebClient().DownloadString("URL goes here")
Dim m As Match = Regex.Match(input, "url((?<link>.*));")
For Each Matches as String in m
Messagebox.Show(Matches)
NextMade this outside the IDE, I used an expression found on the web, don't know if it'll works.

You're not understanding him, he's trying to get the images, but when he tries to download the source, it is giving him a different source from the element he is inspecting.

Hmm, what about copying the code that Google has and just use regex to get the images? Depends on what you're trying to do, are you just trying to find a easier way for you to download these images or are you trying to do something else? 😝

Mate, the page is generated through the javascript : http://ex.fm/static/js/app.js?1357945440
In order to get the pictures you must reverse engineer the script.
And of course go for web requests, everyone telling you else is an ignorant.

Oh yeah, sorry for my mistake.
I'm trying to get the image source, but I think it give you a different source because the music selection (where there are the pictures isn't HTML based, maybe Javascript ?
EDIT: Lambasoft beat me :(

Webclient or webrequests won't help you there.
I guess one possible way is to go through another source and take the song name and artist to find a relevant picture.
