Release MPS, a New Tool to stream Music

[ekianjo]

MPS is a terminal based tool to stream, listen and download music from the Internets created by Al Gore. Don't be afraid of the terminal aspect, usage is extremely simple yet this tool is very powerful. 

Simply enter your searched artist or song in the terminal this way ".artist song" and it will display the results in a list. Play by entering the number of the item in the list. Download the said track with "d number" (for example d 3). And that's it !
It can do a lot of other stuff. Type 'h' for more info about the commands.

You mean the United States vice president?  Didn't know he's that smart!

 

[ekianjo]

Yeah, Al Gore claimed he started the Internet at one point until he realized he sounded ridiculous.

What is this program doing, is it just downloading streams or does it also share what you downloaded?

 

[ekianjo]

Good question, i need to look in the code. I believe it only streams but does not share. will check.

 

[ekianjo]

I found out it streams directly from pleer.com, a russian website. Similar to grooveshark in a way. It does not share what's on your Pandora.

The author said:

Hi, yes, the resources are fetched from pleer.com. As far as I can tell, the pleer.com website lets users upload mp3 files from their machine to pleers servers, and lets users search, play and download tracks from pleers servers.

nice, then it's totally safe to use that here...

 

[ekianjo]

Yup, I'd say "be careful", and use a VPN or something in case

 

[elwing]

no need there, while probably not really legal there's jurisprudence case that says this is safe...

 

[ekianjo]

there's jurisprudence case that says this is safe.

what are you referring to ? and in which country ?

in switzerland, maybe... in other countries, the law differs, I think. 

 

[elwing]

of course...

I managed to get it to play some Celtic Woman tracks earlier so apparently not.
