[Playdar](http://playdar.org) is really starting to gain some momentum as great services like [playgrub](https://web.archive.org/web/20100824050755/http://playgrub.posterous.com/new-supported-sites)[^1] build on it's strong foundations.
|
|
|
|
I've just added to Playgrub's codebase by building some additional scrapers so that **you** can make use of [Toby](https://github.com/toby)'s fine webapp to (legally!) listen to some popular radio playlists on your own schedule!
|
|
|
|
So if you feel like listening to music from XFM, Radio 1, Kerrang! or NME then you should do the follwoing:
|
|
|
|
* [Download](http://playdar.org/download) and install the (frankly epic) Playdar service.
|
|
|
|
* [Browse to playgrub.com](http://web.archive.org/web/20091102074333/http://www.playgrub.com/) and install [the bookmarklet](javascript:(function(){%20host='http://www.playgrub.com/js/';%20_my_script=document.createElement('SCRIPT');%20_my_script.type='text/javascript';%20_my_script.src=host+'playgrub_bookmarklet.js?';%20document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_my_script);%20})(); "This bookmarklet good as of 2009-12-28")[^2]
|
|
|
|
* Go and visit your favourite radio playlist or musical listing and hit 'Grub'!
|
|
|
|
The number of services currently supported is still limited, so if there's a site you've found that lists songs you'd like to be able to grub then please let us know! Hopefully Playgrub will have a request feature soon, but in the meanwhile leave a comment here or [have a look at the code behind them](http://github.com/toby/playgrub/tree/master/scrapers/) - if you know any Javascript at all you'll be able to write one yourself in no time!
|
|
|
|
Finally, if you're interested, stay tuned to the [playgrub blog](https://web.archive.org/web/20100824050755/http://playgrub.posterous.com/new-supported-sites)[^1] - playdar will only get more popular in the coming months[^3] and playgrub is bound to be at the forefront.

[^1]: Import note: I replaced the (now non-functional) link to the playgrub homepage/blog with a link to an Internet Archive copy, only to find it's a post talking about me! It's making me blush 😅
|
|
[^2]: Neither of these links will work now, as playgrub no longer exists 😞
|
|
[^3]: It didn't, but it was fun while it lasted!
