[HowTo]Download songs from BandCamp for free {Tutorial Inside}

Now I found this while searching for a method a while back to do this. I take no credit for
finding this method. I simply searched and found it and wanted to share it with you guys.

NOTEI use Mozilla Firefox for this. I have not tried this with Chrome's version of AdBlock Plus.

What's Needed:
AdBlock Plus installed to your browser.

Now, first you'll need a song. We'll use CorridorDigitals "Vanishing Point" for this tutorial.

http://corridordigital.bandcamp.com/trac...with-death

Once you're on the page, play the track. Once it's started, open up the "Open Blockable
Items" option on AdBlock Plus. It'll pop up a list.

Here's the item you need to choose:

Here is the box that will pop up on the bottom of your browser:

Search "MP3" within the blockable items and it'll narrow it down to two options. You'll
want on that has "popplers5.bandcamp.com" in it.

It'll look like this. You want the second one.

Right click that one and choose "Open in New Tab" and it'll pop open the tab. It should
prompt a download of the song. If it loads the song into a page to play the music, simply
choose "Save Page As" from your drop down menu in Firefox.
This method will only work for downloading the 128 kbps streaming tracks that are embedded into the webpage...

These url's are just as easily accessible via the Bandcamp API (you should really check it out)

http://bandcamp.com/developer

Using this API, I was able to easily create a simple script in Python to batch download several albums at a time...
