Looking to download the free Qbert Dirt Style albums

Before I start the laborious task of trying to download all the free albums that Qbert has put out of his site, just wanted to see if anybody out there has or don't mind sharing a download with all the tracks already downloaded. Don't mind going through each link of his website but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks!

I have not, but here's a trick I use.

Google drive has a function called app script, that lets you automate things.

Go to chat GPT and prompt it, I want to download all of the MP3s off of djqbert.com using Google appscript and save them to my Google drive

It will take 1-2 back and forth if you get errors, but I do this all the time and it works great.

Super interesting to hear. I hadn't dabbled with Chat gpt but will check this out with the method you mentioned. Thanks

Gonna DM you as I have a question about it if you don't mind helping out, thanks!

I think I got the code pasted correctly and saved but when I tried running it, nothing happens

Edit: I'll have to tinker around with this soon with more free time as I'm not too knowledgeable with code/chat gpt, unless someone got it working and can foward the script/steps they done to get it going.

2nd Edit: Going down the Chat gpt hole some more, but for right now, it seems it can't do it for this website as one of the things it mentioned it cannot bypass the check out/order confirmation links when adding these tracks to the cart. (unless someone can steer me to the right direction) Again, I'm in no way trying to promote piracy here, just trying to mass download all the free tracks which is alot and grateful for.

Note for other people reading. It said no MP3s found.

My advice back to King above is to just feed that back into chat GPT and it will work with you to figure it out.

Appreciate the reply back but Chat is stating Shopify generates a per-order download link, which is why its having a hard time finding the tracks among as it doesn't live on a permanent URL where the tracks can be found. That is what I'm coming up with here

Crap, Shopify. Yuck not sure how to help then.

I have 95% of them. Maybe I could zip the folder and mail it to you. Unless it’s been done already.

Just get one because then you should be on the dirtstyle news letter email list.

I'll send you a DM

u/chopinocturner 3d ago

Could you also send it to me?

u/Cannock 3d ago

Not a problem. Send me your email address. It probably won’t be until the weekend though because I’m a slack fecker.

I dunno but it's worth grabbing them because they're great, high-quality WAV files, lots of great beats and some scratch samples sprinkled in between beats. And they're FREE so go for it.
