How To Download Bebo Bands Music

28 Jan 07 - Some people reported that this doesn’t work any longer. This is not the case, I have just tried it and it does still work as described below. Enjoy!

The recent launch of Bebo bands wasn’t as high profile as I thought it could have been, with very few big bands officially supporting it. However, independent and little known bands have siezed the opportunity to make a name for themselves. Unfortunately, the Bebo Bands platform does not yet allow users to “download” the songs, instead only allowing them to be streamed. Thankfully though, the songs call on a piece of javascript in order to be played and that piece of javascript gives the full location of the .mp3 that was uploaded! So for anybody that’s familiar with HTML, head over to the ‘Songs’ section of a bands bebo profile and view it’s source. If you don’t want to sift through it, simply search for .mp3 within the code. For those who haven’t a notion about what I’m on about, I shall explain it.

Once you have found a band you like, click on the “Songs” tab at the top of the screen, this will bring you a page listing all the songs that that band have chosen to upload. Now that you’re on this page, right-click anywhere on the screen and a menu will appear beside your cursor. Navigate down towards the option “View Source” and click on it. A window should pop up with lots of confusing text in it. This is called HTML, a computer programming language used to create webpages. But we aren’t interested in that at the moment, instead we’ll go look for the MP3s. In the top left of that window, there’s a tab called “Edit”, click that and navigate towards “Find”. This will launch another window with a field in it that allows you to type your search terms. In this type “.mp3″ (without the quotes). Doing this will bring you to the mp3s within the code. Copy and paste the full address of this mp3 (everything within the ‘ ‘) and open up your web browser. In the address bar, paste the address and press go. It should ask you to save the file. To move onto the next .mp3, simply click “Find Next” within the Notepad search window.

Hope that’s of some use to you. Good luck!

PS: This does not work on the MySpace music player because that uses Flash.

    stealing songs from indie bands?? at least wait til they become rich n famous to rip their songs, this hurts… :(

  9. 9 Adam

    Actually, they are songs that have been made available by bands using Bebo, so I wouldn’t really call it stealing.

    bebo are now using flash, but there are lots of addons for firefox that will let you save the files as shockwave files. then use a conversion programme (total video convertor is available as a trial - look on google)

    bebo are now using flash, but there is a (simple) way to download music. first make sure you have cleared your temperary internet files (by going to tools > internet options > delete temperary files). then go to bebo, log in, and find the track you want. then, play it all the way through. now, close internet explorer, and go to your hard drive (usually c) ,go to documents and settings, then and go to local settings. (You will need hidden files ON to see this). go to temperary internet files, and scroll down untill you find an mp3 file. it will be called a load of numbers. copy this, and paste it on your desktop. it will now be your song.

    ———–THIS WORKS BEST IN INTERNET EXPLORER———

  35. 35 Just to Let u Know

    Hi Everyone,

    Just to let u know Bebo has fixed this loop hole in their system and it no longer works. So if u’ve got a new way of downloading music off bebo?? Please post up an update.

    Why it doesnt work anymore? the source codes URLs are no longer displayed…Note, this applies to both Internet Explorer 7 and Mozilla Firefox, I know because i’ve tested it on both browsers.

    Sorry People, we’ll have to find another way of downloading songs off bebo. Any ideas people?? I bet u if there was another way of hacking bebo to download music again, its got something to do with SONG IDS. Hackers….work ur magic again hehe

  36. 36 chocky_gal_nz

    Go Hackers Go!!

  37. 37 someone

    you can still easily obtain the mp3, but you need a http debugger. Firefox uses get firebug extension. This site now hides the mp3 file in an xml file that unfortunately uses hash keys to prevent automated downloading but the url can easily be exposed like so

    http://www.bebo.com/api/MediaUrl.jsp?s=b366cc966e2f4be1a7d43ce8192d73f0&i=4274524926&ts=1188469257.328&s2=19ae6b7fce6db572020b86e5fd27f93d

  38. 38 someone

    i’ve figured out that the “i” parameter is the songid and the “ts” is a unix timestamp. Can’t figure out what “s” and “s2″ are, some kind of hexadecimal encoding.

  39. 39 someone

    Now i know that the “s” value is static and tied to the songId and the “s2″ value is dynamic and tied to the timestamp. It seems this isn’t so important however in that any songId can be put in the i value and it will return the mp3 url. I would expect however that this will eventually stop working as the unix time stamp expires.

  40. 40 Me

    so no one knows how to do it still?

  41. 41 Poor Bebo, Do they Know?
