How to download songs from Grooveshark directly from Chrome

Grooveshark is a music streaming service used by many people(including me). Even though it has many legal disputes it is still one of the best music streaming services out there. The ability to upload you own songs and get music others have uploaded is the feature that makes this service so successful.

Google Chrome, on the other hand, is the browser of choice of approximately half the web users today(55.7% according to W3Schools).
Now trying to download music from Grooveshark would kind of beat the purpose of the service itself, which is to listen to music online. For different reasons though, we find the need to have access to some of our music even offline. When we want to listen  music on our mobile devices, mobile data plans can get pretty pricey.
Luckily, Chrome has plenty of add ons. One of them is Grooveshark Downloader. This simple add on allows you to download songs from your Grooveshark collection. It will add an icon on the right side of your Omnibox. That icon doesn't do much. If you click it, it will launch Grooveshark in a new tab.

What you need to do to use it though is to go to a certain list(it doesn't work on your entire song collection) and a download button will appear on the right side of the singer. Click it and a progress percentage will take its place when done it will ask you to save the mp3 file.

 Now the question is how to install it. Since the add on is not form the Store you can't install it the normal way. Here is what you should do.

1. Save the add on file in your hard drive. Download 
2. Type  chrome://extensions/ in your Omnibox.
3. Drag and drop the file.
4. Install and enjoy downloading your songs.
