download the un-downloadable
Sometimes a body might want to download a Flash Video .flv file (like a YouTube video) for playback later. Or an .mp3 file that’s embedded in a Flash Player (like the mp3s played in MySpace audio players; even when the MySpacer has “not enabled downloading”). A Firefox Add-On called Video Download Helper will grab these media files embedded on pages.
The Add-On places a small button between your Address Bar and Search Bar. When there is download-eligible media on a page it is colored-in and moving. Click the little arrow next to the Download Helper button to select what media on the page that you’d like to download. It will add the media to the standard Firefox download queue.
Incidentally, the Violent Femmes recently released a version of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” via MySpace.
