Hello readers, Sorry for not being active for a long time. I took a break of a week for holidays.

(Skip reading next paragraph if you already know about e-snips)

E-Snips.com is a popular file sharing site which provides 5GB of storage with social networking features like friends, favorites etc. What makes it special is that, you can share anything on the site, view videos (like YouTube) and hear audio on the site directly, set permissions, and people need not wait to download anything from the site. They also give a handy standalone uploader and toolbar to make life very simple.

There also loads of MP3, audio books and great e-books which makes it my first choice when ever I need an e-book to download. Some time ago they had removed the download button for the MP3 files. Then again 2 or 3 times hacks were discovered and were fixed. Now again a hack has been found to download MP3 files from E-snips.

Enough talking How do we download MP3 from E-Snips ?

Here is how you do it. For example if you want to download the MP3 on this URL 'http://www.esnips.com/doc/96ee9a-95a1-4567-863b-dfg44-2566f279d/SampleSong'

Open your mp3 page. The one with the flash mp3 player on it.

1. In the address bar, change the term "doc" to "nsdoc" within the URL.
2. Then remove the song name, the last part of the URL (here its "SampleSong")
3. Replace the song name with ts_id/1205795172796/ns_flash/file1.mp3

So finally the above URL should look like this

'http://www.esnips.com/nsdoc/96ee9a-95a1-4567-863b-dfg44-2566f279d/ts_id/1205795172796/ns_flash/file1.mp3'

Just give it a go in the browser and the file download dialog will appear. Enjoy !!
