2.4.3

Fixed an issue where broken track titles from archive would make the extension not appear on the page

2.4.2

Never realized that individual song downloads were broken. This was something that was changed in a recent version of chrome back in October, and I had no idea it affected grateful grabber. This should be fixed now, but the single downloads unfortunately won't be as fast, but they will work now! Sorry for any inconvenience over the past few months, and I hope everyone will be happy again!

2.4.0

Fixed an issue where certain shows wouldn't download multiple versions of the same songs
Added numbers to the song titles so they appear in order and you know what track number they are

Developer needs to check out what's going on, lots of songs show up as 0 bytes, please check into this ASAP. The extension is not working properly

Hi - had forgotten about this amazing extension which I used a lot way back. I'm having a problem downloading this show (all at once). https://archive.org/details/gd1975-03-01.145786.sbd.gans.miller.noel.flac1644/gd75.xx.xx.s1t01.flac It's over 7 hours long ... may that be related? Anyway, I can it seems only download part of it, and then many of the tracks are 0 bytes. Any thoughts? Oh and for single track downloads, maybe suffix with the track number? And single track download does not always seem to work. Thanks Jeremy Poynton

Because Archive.org only streaming in lossy mp3's there is no way to download FLAC versions of shows. I personally don't know of any Deadhead who would want a lossy version of a show.
