How to download capture record stream streams streaming audio from Sony Sony's Unlimited Music Unlimited service Qriocity qriocity.com howto tutorial qmu instructions review

Sony's new music service Qriocity Music Unlimited, or short QMU, is located at:
http://qmusic.com
or music login at: http://music.qriocity.com
or account login at: https://account.qriocity.com/login.action

+ similar to the services offered by TPM, all you can do is stream music online thru your mobile device or thru your PC (and eventually save tracks offline on your mobile device but not on your PC)
+ you can sign up for a 30days FREE trial w/ credit card
+ you login via webinterface (http-login) and your browser's version should be compatible with the website (there is also a type of software called Music Sync but believe me it is fuck!)
+ the website is based on Adobe Flash and or Microsoft Silverlight technology who the f*ck cares
+ streaming track URL's are easily captured with any preferred URL sniffer
+ a streaming url has the following format:

rtmpe://omnifoneflashfs.fplive.net/omnifoneconprod/content/***/mp4:***?z=1234&customerclient=***&token=***&signature=***&traceid=***

so a typical full-length url of a stream looks like this:

rtmpe://omnifoneflashfs.fplive.net/omnifoneconprod/content/aabcd236edc563a23d4b76890caad6be/mp4:1a2416a5d1c65d8a6d51c68e6bb65s6d?z=2093&customerclient=e9d813b574a01d5c0b4d5e6a5s45e6dc&token=ABsdfseFA564ZuiOhFe556DfgRSDFGa456hdfsreHsRT56DFhsdfseFA564ZuiOhFe556DfgRSDFGa456hdfsreHsRT56DFhsdfseFA564ZuiOhFe556DfgRSDFGa456hdfsreHsRT56DFhsdfseFA564ZuiOhFe556DfgRSDFGa456hdfsreHsRT56DFhsdfseFA564ZuiOhFe556DfgRSDFGa456hdfsreHsRT56DFhsdfseFA564ZuiOhFe556DfgRSDF&signature=Ga456hdfsreHsRT56DFhasd%2faEf%2BASdfa456Dfsf%2Asdg433457678dfgsGAWebasdFAevdgwHdfgerSfg4dfG%2BAsdfasdfasdfsdd235343asfa345sfsdfghghksdf123346SDFGSHsf%2Asdfa3456sfgsfg088jgdfsdg3sgd4%3K&traceid=48915d786e513b6a6cfedd4cbb15abd6

+ what is being streamed is AAC-audio in a bitrate of ridiculously low 48kbps, streamed via the RTMPE-protocol.
+ the AAC-audio is wrapped in a *.FLV-container
+ your preferred stream downloader can download the track. i've tested the download and it works.
+ extract the AAC with FLVExtract. note that the audio is in raw data format and lacks any wrapper, i.e. the *.aac-file lacks the meta data in the header of a standard MP4-file (*.m4a, *.mp4). foobar2000 can still playback the file and convert it to mp3.
+ the download rate per track is exactly 6.0KB/s. (No surprise since 48kbps : 8bits/Byte = 6kilobytes/sec.)

Review summary:
i can highly recommend this service. it is cheap (1 month subscription = EUR9.99 only, plus the 30days FREE trial!! ), primitive, and the website is ultrafast and beautiful and the music sounds great! It is maybe the only worthy competitor against Google's new music service GOOM (Google Music).
