Free iTunes Over a Browser

Ade writes "One may now listen and search for Apple iTunes music via this front end or any webserver running the perl script called iTMS-4-ALL, which was written by Jason Rohrer, programmer of the secure filesharing system MUTE who hopes the script 'helps revive everyone's ITMS interfaces.' Music activists Downhill Battle, who organised the Grey Tuesday protests for disseminating censored music, run a copy of the script and say 'this is a cute tool, but it has the potential to become a powerful weapon to fight the major record label monopoly' in the ways they outline. Playing the music requires QuickTime for the ~600kb downloadable MP4 snippets to be heard." Update: 04/19 01:41 GMT by H : Thanks to Aaron at Punboy for sending us a link to a faster server.

    Hey dude, are you involved with the ralphdontrun.net site itself? I'm asking because I couldn't help but notice it requires flash, and it seems to me like requiring a flash plugin on a political site is just like requiring a turbo-charger at the grocery store. I couldn't read the site, but I was interested enough to click on your link.

    Not to mention the business deals with the music cartels.

  3. ITunes Radio Rip = StationRipper by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've been using StationRipper for a while now to rip iTunes Radio. You can use the Find Streams button to find an active iTunes radio stream (and can use MyStations after that to just connect to it). Guess iTunes uses shoutcast? Anyone know how to get a new stream on iTunes Radio? It kinda looks like some of the streams from shoutcast.com, but a a few are diff (some that used to be on shoutcast aren't listed there any more but are on iTunes now).

    So you're saying that Linux is to OS X (is to Windows) as Nader is to Kerry (is to Bush)?

    :D

    True. And they arrested Rosa Parks for not giving up her seat on the bus to a white man.
