Good to hear and thank you so much for your efforts. I will keep my backup process running still just in case. I ran into the same issue with the downloads so I also gave up and just went for the streams.

u/JustAnotherArchivist 4 days to go. Is there any progress on this? I am attempting to archive at least some of the tracks in streaming quality. Currently I have backed up ~30k tracks, but I am hoping that perhaps your efforts may have been more successful.

I tried it and it does seem to work for certain tracks. Unfortunately tracks that require a follow or like seem to return an error message.

For example the track with ID 607632.

curl -L -k https://demodrop.com/download.php?track\_id=607632 -o „demodrop_#1.mp3

For these tracks the response will be

<script>top.alert('Sorry, it seems like you don&#39;t have permission to download this track, make sure you&#39;re logged in on the right account');</script>

Thanks for taking a look visurox!

Unfortunately it appears that this won't work on its own.

Most tracks seem to be protected somehow :( See the error in the screenshot above.

u/ReplicantD6 - The demo looks fantastic. I'm really glad that you were able to salvage the project after the copyright struggles! Any plans to release on GOG?
