How to Get Free Music Using SeeqPod

Before I start this, I must say that the legality of this has not been confirmed. So from here on, this is for informational purposes only, and you should not download copyrighted songs. That being said, here is how one would theoretically go about getting free music from seeqpod. This is not a perfect solution.

Torrents and p2p can be blocked by companies and tracked by ISPs. Although companies can block specific websites, ISPs will never block the simple internet traffic used for this type of downloading.

The easiest way to do this is through a program called Jaseeq. This scours the internet for mp3 files, plays them, and through the file menu, gives you the option to download them. Yet people, including myself, have reported having problems with this program. So here is the backend way of doing this with seeqpod, downloadhelper, and firefox.

1. First, you need to be using Firefox for this guide to work. You really should be using this browser instead of Internet Explorer anyways, so now is a good time to switch.
2. Now you need to install the DownloadHelper extension for Firefox. Restart the browser, and you should see an extra 3-ball button on your toolbar. If you don't, right click on your toolbar, click customize, and add this icon.
   
3. Head over to seeqpod. If you haven't been there before, this is a great website for finding and playing the mass of music that is stored on the internet right from this site. All you need to do is put a few words in from a title or artist in the search box, and seeqpod will display both video and audio links right from its page.
   
4. Click on the audio link on the left that you want to listen to. Note that not all will work as links change constantly. Let the entire song load, and make sure that it is the right version of the song, and that the quality is decent.
5. Now this is where the DownloadHelper comes in. Click on the arrow just to the right of the 3 balls icon, and a dropdown menu will appear. Hopefully, you will see the exact song you are listening to as an mp3 file, and when you click it, you will be able to download the mp3 to the destination of your choice.
   
6. Yet many things can go wrong. Sometimes this won't show, or the file that is downloaded will be a corrupt mp3 file of less than 20 kb. Delete this file. In this case, you should notice that there are files with .mpg extensions in the downloadhelper drop down menu when you are on seeqpod. The titles won't correspond with your file, but don't worry about that for the time being. Download all of these, as you can't be sure which one is the correct one. Then, all you need to do is change the resulting file from .mpg to .mp3, and your files will be able to play. Import them into iTunes or whatever you use to play your music, and test the files out one by one to find out which song you were looking for.

Between downloading the mp3 and trying the mpg files, you should be able to acquire every song that plays in seeqpod as an mp3 file that is all yours to do whatever you wish with.

Note that the DownloadHelper extension will allow you to download media from any website, including Youtube and Google Videos, where a .flv file will show on the dropdown menu. Best of luck.
