Orbit downloader fun

With the plugin of orbit downloader in IE8, all my flash video or music downloads are made oh so much easier, without all the pain for gettin separate downloader for different websites (e.g. redtube, youtube)

Well lets say Orbit downloader plugin is more like a universal content downloader, (since most of multimedia content are hosted in flash objects). And it does it's job really well.

For example, recently i got all my music for free. Yes, for free, courtesy of imeem.com
Imeem uses flash to stream music, so i used the orbit plugin to 'grab' the flash content and download it to a folder of my liking. Sure enough, by the end of the day, all my favourite imeem music are all stored in my harddrive.

But the music downloaded are all in .flv format. A check inside the container revealed that it contains mp3, simple enough, i downloaded a flv audio extractor and voila there is my free music downloaded hassle free (since immem streaming are WHOLE lot faster than say, downloadin music from P2P. Moreover the mp3's are all in its original state (identical to downloaded stream) without any quality degrading! ( since it doesn't need recoding, just extracting)
