My Shits and Giggles

Have you ever been annoyed that services like Muxtape (which is currently unavailable, thanks to the RIAA), Favtape or other playlist-based music sites don’t let you download songs? The better sites offer a link to purchase the songs through the iTunes Store or Amazon.com, but the rest just stream the music. And once the player moves on to the next song, that song is gone.

Or is it? Most services like the ones above rely on Flash or JavaScript to obfuscate URLs and make it difficult, though not impossible, to download the actual files.

In this guide, we’ll show you how you can grab just about any file you want by exploring your browser’s cache.
