dTunes - like iTunes, but free!

**Kyle Matthews** · 09-07-2008, 02:00 PM

dTunes, a new app by Richard Shearman, lets you grab all the free music you'd like, downloaded straight to your iPhone using some magic to combine SeeQPod's streaming .mp3 service and Jonathan Misurda's useful Safari Download Plugin.

Download dTunes (available via Cydia now on the MMi repo), and once installed, tap the magnifying glass or the Search Seeqpod button. dTunes will bring up a window with Seeqpod in it - simply search for the music you'd like, and when found, tap the song.

dTunes will bring up a download screen, and pull the .mp3 from Seeqpod's source to your iPhone. Then head back to the main screen of dTunes, and simply tap the song you'd like to hear to play it! dTunes includes a media player directly in it, so you don't have to switch applications, etc - its an all in one solution.

And yes, it even works via 3G and EDGE.

Great for when you're out and about, and hear a song you remember you want to grab at home (which I do all the time) - now you can just open dTunes and get it for free.

Please also check out the dev's site, and send him a donation if ya like what he's done.

nice thanks 4 the update

**CaptainChaos** · 09-07-2008, 02:29 PM

This is great!! I had checked out some music using the Seeqpod/SafariDL Plugin before and couldn't play the music after cause it would not show anywhere on my phone. Now that I installed dTunes...the music I downloaded before shows up now

It's ISlsk and that feature is whats holding the release of the program back (It's done). But yea, this program looks nice. I've pretty much been doing it though through the mobile seeqpod service though

I agree, but this program is a great start for 2.0.

Heya Richard you are my man! Folks, you wont believe but he started doing to the app from my idea only 3 days ago!

Here is the story of all beginning ... http://www.modmyi.com/forums/3rd-par...mp3-files.html

Unbelievable he did that great solution in such a small timeframe.

The only thing I'd like to see added is the length of the track or size of the file after you use the search feature.

**jacktaylor73** · 09-07-2008, 04:08 PM

Where do the songs get saved to?

best thing since cheetos

**arcsbite** · 09-07-2008, 05:09 PM

anyone know how to download?
when I search and choose a track it just plays it in a quicktime window and only gives me "done" as an option.

**Kyle Matthews** · 09-07-2008, 05:22 PM

Did you download the app through Cydia? If so, double check to make sure you have the SAfari Download Plugin installed as well - Cydia should automatically do that for you though.

**arcsbite** · 09-07-2008, 05:30 PM

according to cydia it was already installed, I re-installed and rebooted
works fine now
many thanks

**kjs8806** · 09-07-2008, 06:05 PM

has anyone realized that its missing a volume button which is a major flaw in this application
