Title: Anybody know how to Rip websites?
Post by: BdaY41943 on February 21, 2012, 06:02 am
What I'm trying to do here is rip all of the music off of this 1 website, you have to pay for it obviously, which i have on over 20 occasions, but quite frankly im sick of doing that.  I asked one of the vendors who does things like this and he said he doesnt have the time, so i was wondering if anyone else here with some technical know how could point me in the right direction so hopefully i could figure it out myself?

Check out Screen-Scraper basic edition, or Visual Web Ripper.

There is a learning curve, as with any application, but with a little effort one of them should fill your needs.

Are you using Windows?

You might try looking into WinHTTrack, which is free.

I guess HTTrack is also available for Mac OS X, Linux and FreeBSD.

The only one I know is already stated above (WinHTTrack) The only thing though is I am not sure if it would rip anything that requires a password to access. So if it's something that need's to have been purchased I think you would need some extra steps to it but at least it's a place to start.

If the site is coded well, it will be impossible. Just torrent your music like everyone else.

I completely agree, I get all my music in entire discographies or albums and rather quickly. I have over 6000 songs in my collection and that's that I delete quite a bit and often as well.

6000 songs is not really a lot, I know people who have 50k+, just sayin.

i'd prolly have around 6-9k if i never lost any of the music i've downloaded. now my library is a mere 870 songs and growing.


i use warez,hulkshare,zippyshare,mediafire and a bunch of other file hosts to get what i need. free. you can do the same.
