How to download shared iTunes library files ?
In many big Internet company you have a majority of iTunes player (this is the iPod trend :)) and many of those iTunes share their huge playlist.
Personally I like listening music from others to discover new music genres and new songs. But I was worry to not bring at home this music, so I found a great software to directly download music from shared iTunes.
ourTunes is the initial project to download audio files from shared iTunes but the project was left down making the software useless with 6.5 superior iTunes version (in iTunes 7.0 it isn’t the same protocol).
So a passionate team of ourTunes lovers created http://saveourtunes.com/ who bring up a new version of ourTunes but with iTunes 7.0 implementation protocol ! Youhou !!!
Download the last version of ourTunes on their blog (actually ourTunes1-7c.jar) and run it. (you will need Java Runtime)
How to use it ?
Quite simple !
- Launch your iTunes !
- Select your shared playlist where you will download songs
- Start ourTunes and wait 10 seconds (fetching all shared iTunes playlist)
- Select the shared list you selected in your iTunes (you can set a download directory)
- Back in your iTunes it will bring you a copy of your selected shared iTunes, select it
- Then just play the song you want to copy
The software is not really stable but it works perfectly in the file restitution, encode with good bitrate, ID3Tag, Album art, etc…
Enjoy !
