    Ok, uploaded a new version which can handle akamai redirects (god that was a pain, eventually found a "bug" in SProxy) and disables hotkeys when running in wine mode.

    Works great! Really appreciate the work involved here. Now all tracks get saved perfectly.

    Thanks ZZJoe!

    Post a log. This may happen if gs uses an akamai or whatnot server for the file (aka. not the norm) as that is currently not handled. On the to-do list. Usually, listening to the song again and or reloading gs will cause another server to be used.

    And yes, lack of aart is not uncommon on gs. Especially esoteric/not yet on cd tracks. If present it will be saved to the file and should be saved to the directory the song was put in.

    Before I saw this reply, I installed Saver2 on my laptop and tried these songs and they failed also. I do see akamai come up in the sproxy status window before it fails each time. The log is below. Seems like these songs *always* attempt to download from akamai server as they fail every time. Out of a list of 30 songs I had 8 to fail. Multiple attempts on my desktop computer result in a failure every time for these 8 songs. Here is a partial log from the new install on my laptop showing two of the failures.

    I notice that on rare occasions, sproxy doesn't ever get to the mangling stage after downloading a song from grooveshark resulting in no save in my music folder. Even after numerous attempts there are specific songs that will not save.

    I just started looking at possible causes. The last one that did that, the artist had a / in the name separating two artist names because it was a duet. Is it possible that the / in the artist name could be causing a problem? I'll try to start paying more attention to specifics whenever there is a failure to save.

    There is also a substantial lack of album art being downloaded when using grooveshark, but I suspect that is due to the often terrible metadata that grooveshark provides for its tracks?

    Thanks for all you do.

    *** EDIT ***

    Found another specific song that will not save that do not have "/" or other characters in the artist name. For example:

    If you search for "Feels So Right" by Alabama, and play the one that has the album named Greatesthits. Saver2 will not save this file for me. Could it be something I am doing wrong? Another one is Whiskey Lullaby and it shows the artist as "Alison Krauss/Brad Paisley".

    Please no jokes about the song choices as these are DEFINITELY not for me, LOL.

    Yah, just found this myself, re-download it. Btw, even if gs is not displaying the album art it should be downloaded by saver2. However, if it is using the fallback mode, it would not save the album art. I can probably get radio mode working though (ie using proper tags and aart) just need to get a sample of metadata

    Thanks, that fixed the stripping of the spaces with the use of the radio. The file name and the meta data is coming in good.

    Unfortunately, I am no longer getting any of the album art when using the radio. Maybe that's what you were referring to when you posted you could "probably get radio mode working..." ?

    ZigZagJoe,

    I notice that in Grooveshark, when Saver2 captures songs from Grooveshark's Radio, all the spaces are stripped out of the mp3's album, artist, and title metadata and also the file name. For example:

    "TheDoobieBrothers - ItKeepsYouRunnin'.mp3"

    I haven't had this happen when I click and record individual songs or playlists that I have created in Grooveshark. It only happens (for me) when I want to start recording from the Grooveshark's radio feature. The radio is real handy as it doesn't require me to build playlists (or reseed like in Pandora).

    Don't know if anything can be done about it, but wanted to let you know.

    Thanks!

    Thank you so much for getting Grooveshark working. I had been using Pandora, but it really helps to be able to specify playlists in Grooveshark. Saver2 is a tremendous app that I cannot do without.

    Question:

    Can saver2 grab the album art somehow when it saves a Grooveshark track like it does for a Pandora/Slacker track? I am assuming no since it doesn't show on the website, but just thought I would ask.

    If not, does anyone know of an app that goes through my artist subfolders and add missing album art automatically?

    Thanks again for your impressive work. Much appreciated.

    *** Edit ***

    Grooveshark is displaying the artwork now, and Saver2 is grabbing it. Don't know what was going on. Thanks!
