MySpace is a great place to find new music by your favorite artists. But if you'd rather not have to deal with MySpace's site design, MySpaceMP3 is an almost useful web page for downloading music from MySpace without actually visiting the social networking site.

There are two reasons for that "almost."

1. MySpaceMP3 has a clean and simple interface, but it hardly lets you avoid the ads you'd find on MySpace. In fact, every time you try to download a song, you have to deal with a huge pop-up ad.
2. While the default MySpace player will let you know which songs you can download and which tracks you can just stream over the internet, MySpaceMP3 doesn't clearly make that distinction. It looks like you can download any track, until you try to retrieve streaming-only songs and receive an error message.

MySpaceMP3 doesn't actually host any music on its site, it just provides download links for songs on MySpace. All you have to do is enter the name of a band the way it appears after www.myspace.com.
