Turn the web into your personal music library.

ExtensionFM is a Chrome extension that picks up links to mp3s as you browse the web and adds them to a media library.

I notice the "mp3blogs" tag. I'm going to go ahead and assume this plugin isn't smart enough to download mp3s when they're hosted on, for example, RapidShare, like most mp3blogs tend to.

I generally use DownThemAll for this.

mecran01, that's totally perverted. That's not what DownThemAll was made for.

It sounds cool until you end up with a huge collection of mediocre mp3 files that you then need to sort through and delete. This task will become so huge you will never even listen to the music except to decide whether to delete it.

Sadly, there is no DownThemAll for Chrome and there never will be.

Does anybody know of a good DownThemAll replacement for Chrome? I'm basically keeping Firefox around just for DTA.
