How-To: Download music videos from iTunes
This post was published 4 years 1 month 11 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.Update 10/16: To satisfy your music video dependancies read our tutorial: How-To: Downloading Yahoo! Music Videos with Firefox & VLC.
Update 10/12: Apple has changed the backend of the iTunes Music Store rendering this script useless. Stayed tuned for updates as we try and find a suitable alternative.
Update 10/08: If you can’t read, and have difficulties following the steps below, check out the short Wink Flash video.
I stumbled upon a very useful PHP script which allows you to download complete music videos from iTunes. You have the option of downloading the smaller or larger .MOV format videos which can be imported into your personal iTunes library. [source]
Step 1: Open the iTMS and navigate to Music Videos in the left side column. Choose the video of your choice and right-click on either the ‘Small’ or ‘Large’ format clip. Choose ‘Copy iTunes Music Store URL’.
Step 2: Go here and paste the URL into the video field and click ‘Submit’. The resulting page will present you with a link to download the complete video from iTunes. Right-click and choose ‘Save Link As’. Make sure to rename your video appropriately.
These are high quality Quicktime .MOV files. The larger versions weigh in at about 50MB so make sure you have a lot of hardrive space if you plan on ergh making use of this script.

O.K. I’M ONLY GOING TO TYPE THIS ONCE HOPING SOMEONE WILL RAISE A EYEBROW AND TAKE NOTICE. FIRST AND FORMOST THANX TO UNEASY SILENCE FOR HOW TO’S ON GETTING MUSIC VIDEOS FROM YAHOO! BUT I’VE DOWNLOADED VIDEOS FROM THE YAHOO LAUCNH SITE AND I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THE RESULTS (SIGH)….LET ME POINT OUT, THERE ARE VAST VIDEOS TO CHOOSE FROM ON THE YAHOO SITE BUT ONCE DOWNLOADED THE GRAPHICS ARE PRETTY CHOPPY NOT TO MENTION GOING THERW ALL THE HASSEL TO DOWNLOAD YOUR FAV. ARTIST BUT ONLY IN POOR QUALITY. EARLIER BACK, ON UNEASY SILENCE SITE THEY POSTED HOW TO DOWNLOAD MUSIC VIDEOS FROM ITUNES. I THOUGHT THIS SHIT IS
!SWEET! I KNEW THAT THE VIDEOS FROM ITUNES WERE IN HIGH QUALITY.YES EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED UNTIL ITUNES DID SOMETHING TO CHANGE THE WAY WE VIEW VIDEOS FROM ITUNE MUSIC PLAYER. YAHOO MAY HAVE VAST MUSIC VIDEOS TO CHOOSE AND SPOON OVER BUT ITUNES HAVE THE QUALITY TO SEEING YOUR FAV. ARTIST SHAKE EVERY BABY FAT ON THEIR ASS AND TO SEE EVERY HAIR ON THE SINGER’S CHINNY CHIN CHIN STAND UP ON END. SO PLEASE UNEASY SILENCE HEAR MY PLEA, IS THERE A POSSIBILITY TO MAKE ANOTHER HACK FOR I TUNES 6.!!!!!!!!!
is your caps lock key broken?
figuring out a php hack for accessing videos via itunes 6 is a little easier said than done. my only recommendation is to check the frontpage routinely (RSS).
the video’s downloaded off of yahoo vary in quality. most of the time the choppiness can be attributed to your actual computer. make sure your codecs and video drivers are updated.
i have a question. if you still work with an earlier version of itunes (meaning before they changed how the videos are) could you “steal” the videos? i use version 6.o but i still have the c.d for my old itunes, so could it work?
running an old version wouldn’t work considering itunes has changed the backend of the iTMS completely. itunes users wishing to download tracks from the music store are required to update their software.
Sadly I found this script after iTunes changed the backend so i was to late to download. But i was wondering if those of you who did manage to download iTunes Music Videos post the links on a website so others could right-click, save target as and watch.
where is the video field?
No indication about the video field ;

Do I need to have an older version of iTunes so I can get the free music videos? cause I have iTunes 6.0 and when I copy the iTunes Music Store URL, then when I paste the URL, it does not show any downloazd link or anything. Try to solve this problem 4 me.
as the post stated above right underneath the title, the backend of the iTMS has been reworked and this particular technique no longer works.

mee, what site are you referring to?

Hello, I recently bought an ipod, and had to download the 7.0 version, after reading all the comments on this page, I am pretty sure that, as smart & cool as this website is for trying to help people, it ain’t gonna work, esp if you have a newer version don’t waste your time, don’t believe me? Just read all these comments above of ppl trying to follow these instructions and having no results, the same thing happened to me, so it ain’t gonna work sadly to say. Hopefully there is a useful website (as easy friendly and helpful as this one was) that will help ppl download free music videos without wasting time
i can’t do it, when use Itune 7.02. Can do i? please show me how thank so much!
This would be great but i would have to buy Quicktime Pro, When I go and right click on the video the option is given but it is grey!
ok, when you click on the music video link on the left column it only shows a certain number of music videos………….. i don’t want to download any of those, but when i search for the music video of my choice in the top right corner of the iTMS, i can find the music videos that i want………………… can i download those music videos the same way????
is not actualized for i tunes “7″
ok well i have itunes 7 and it doesnt have this “small / large” thing, so where exactly do i right-click to get “copy url”? coz i dont think im getting the right url, when i submit it, the page just refreshes and theres nothing there.
