Imeem music on Myspace work around

EDIT: THIS METHOD HAS BEEN PATCHED - PLEASE FOLLOW THE LATEST @ http://devz3ro.com/news.php?readmore=20

Sorry for the delay in updates boys and girls, but I've been busy with a lot of RL stuff.

I came across a message on imeem.com stating that myspace has "blocked" the use of their player on myspace's site. I looked into this briefly and as I suspected, myspace has done a piss-poor job doing so (just filtering out imeem.com). Not only did myspace leave the option of using url redirecting websites such as urlsnip.com and tinyurl.com (which they may block in the near future) but they left THEIR OWN 'advance url display' script.

Quick how-to (example):

BEFORE

Looking at the text in the above link, we already know that 'imeem.com' is filtered out, so, the two instances of 'http://media.imeem.com/m/??????????/aus=false/' must be changed. The 10 red ?'s are very important here, they will be generated characters that are unique to each song / playlist.

NOTE: '/aus=false/' will disappear after the link if 'Auto Play' is checked when copying the code. The '/m/' before the ?'s will change to '/v/' if it's a video code and to '/pl/' if it's a playlist (makes sense, m for music, v for video, pl for playlist).

To what you ask?

Myspace invented a little url encoding script I assume to prevent advertisement to any site that isn't myspace.com. We can use this script to encode imeem.com so it passes through the myspace filters :o).

So... to do so - we open one of our friend's pages and go to comment.

We enter:
<a href="http://media.imeem.com/m/??????????/aus=false/">ENCODED</a>This will encode the url, press the 'Post a Comment' button (don't worry we are only using this to grab the new encoded url, we aren't actually posting a comment).

You should see 'ENCODED' in a hyper link. Right click this and go to 'Copy Link Location' or 'Copy Shortcut'.

If done right you should now have 'http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vbWVkaWEuaW1lZW0uY29tL20vPz8/Pz8/Pz8/Py9hdXM9ZmFsc2Uv' in your clipboard. We will use this information to create our new working code.

The code in the above 'BEFORE' link now becomes:

AFTER

Remember this is all an example, you will have to take your own code from imeem.com and do the conversion yourself for this to work for you (changing the 10 ?'s). Once converted it will insert into your profile with no problem.

I hope this has been somewhat helpful.

You are a GENIUS! I can't thank you enough!

Sorry, I honestly did try to understand, but you lost me somewhere

If you could do the link for me, I'm sure I'd understand how to do it after seeing the Final link

My code is:

<object width="300" height="80"><param name="movie" value="http://media.imeem.com/m/VnppZlOdYB"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://media.imeem.com/m/VnppZlOdYB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="80" wmode="transparent"></embed></object>
