getTunes

If you're a Mac user looking for a hassle-free way to download music from local Rendezvous-shared iTunes music libraries, getTunes is the software for you. This software is a Mac version of myTunes, a compact utility that allows you to avoid the usual streaming process and instead download songs directly to your computer.

Designed with the intention of combating music piracy, getTunes emphasizes the importance of respecting artists and their work. The software integrates seamlessly with iTunes and is incredibly user-friendly, offering you an easy and legal way to obtain your favorite music.

Previously, users had to use a command line tool called getTunes.command, which relied on Unix command line tools to capture the necessary session id, IP address, song path, and validation code. While no network streams were subjected to any cracking, this process could be a bit tedious, especially for non-technical users.

getTunes is a more streamlined and efficient solution that aims to make downloading music a simpler and more user-friendly experience. Unlike the earlier version, getTunes is written in Java and is easy to install on your Mac. If you're looking for an easy way to download music that respects copyright laws, getTunes is definitely worth checking out.
