Hit Discovery
-
Version
1.0
Hit Discovery is a multi-threaded web-spider designed
to search for and download mp3 files. It will search
for mp3 files you want and download them from any
website on the Internet. The main feature of Hit
Discovery is that it allows you to listen to an mp3
preview before downloading the entire mp3 file.
Before retrieving mp3 files you need to tell Hit
Discovery one or more addresses of the websites, mp3
top lists, or favorite music collections you want to
retrieve mp3 files from; the name of the artists or
music groups you are looking for and then begin the
search.
The Hit Discovery spider will visit the sites in
turn and examine their pages for links and mp3 files.
If Hit Discovery finds mp3 files matching your
conditions, it retrieves not the entire mp3 file, but
a small portion of the mp3 file called an mp3 preview.
The duration of mp3 previews usually is a few seconds
(by default, 10 sec., but you can change the value).
Once you have retrieved a preview, Hit Discovery
allows you to listen to the preview and decide: to
retrieve the entire mp3 file or not. If you like the
mp3 preview, Hit Discovery allows you to download the
entire mp3 file.
If you could not decide whether you want to
download the entire mp3 file because of the small
length of its preview, Hit Discovery allows you to
download more of the preview (retrieve and add a new
portion of the mp3 file to the already downloaded
portion).
In the program options you can set the preview
starting point from the beginning of the mp3 files. In
this instance previews will be cut from the middle
parts of mp3 files. It is designed to exclude a song
introduction, which usually is difficult to assess the
song quality from.
The program has its own mp3 player, allowing you
to listen to mp3 files and previews.
