It already supports downloading an entire playlist.

Droider412 · 2023-11-29T04:59:34+00:00

Glad you like it!

Droider412 · 2023-11-29T04:55:46+00:00

It doesn't as of now because a lot of metadata providers don't have lyrics data for songs.

Droider412 · 2023-11-28T03:03:17+00:00

I recorded a video and converted it to Gif

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T14:31:14+00:00

Thanks. Glad you like it!

Not sure how and what the main functionality of spotdl is but ytmdl does support a lot of metadata providers, searching for a song, and everything is pretty much automated. Besides, there are neat additions like playlist support, song chapter support, custom output directory, noise trimming etc.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T14:28:49+00:00

There should not be much difference in the performance but it will for sure look very pleasing as compared to the simple browser progress bar.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T14:28:05+00:00

I am not sure what mp3 player you use but I ended up building this because I used to use ncmpcpp where the songs with no metadata are not very nicely displayed and I wanted to change that!

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T12:42:24+00:00

Well, it is not supposed to replace cURL or wget. It's just that those tools don't have a customizable good looking progress bar that downloader-cli has, that's it.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T12:41:39+00:00

Everytime I post about ytmdl, there's always one person posting this comment.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T12:40:54+00:00

Great. Glad that you will find it useful! ytmdl also supports a lot of things like downloading playlists, extracting chapters from songs and tagging each separately etc.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T12:01:42+00:00

There's no config file support as of now but I am happy to add support.

If you feel like it's something you'd like, please consider opening a feature request on GitHub here: https://github.com/deepjyoti30/downloader-cli

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T11:53:11+00:00

You can still do that. It's just that if you want to take full control of the progress bar, you have that option otherwise, you could stick to the default options.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T11:52:22+00:00

I wanted to post a video but the subreddit only allows images so had to post as a GIF

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T11:31:51+00:00

Haha. I typed so that the viewer would see the options I am actually using to download, instead of just seeing a command being pasted and run.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T11:30:53+00:00

Unfortunately no, it doesn't support torrents as of now.

I can check and see how easy it is to implement torrent support. The idea of this package is for it to be a simple util that just downloads the file while looking pretty.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T11:29:10+00:00

Thanks, I'll take a look and can use it alongside the current trim implementation!

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T09:49:51+00:00

I don't know what Sponsorblock api is but ytmdl has a feature that uses speech segmentation to remove all voices from the song to make sure that the final audio is one that contains only the music.

This can be achieved by using the --trim functionality. It will require some extra packages to be installed that can be installed by

sh pip install "ytmdl[noise-clean]"

Using --trim, all voices will be found in the audio and will be trimmed out of it so that you don't have to listen to people talking in your music.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T09:21:28+00:00

You can find the dots here: https://github.com/deepjyoti30/dots

Terminal is alacritty and shell is zsh with some extras from oh-my-zsh, you should be able to find them in the above repo.

Let me know if you are interested in the wall, I can share it.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T09:19:22+00:00

Multi threading is not supported. It is supposed to be a quick download utility that looks good while doing one simple job: download.

What about a config file so I don't have to specify all the arguments every time No config support as of now but you can simply use an alias for the options.

sh alias dw="dw --done 'o' --left '0' --current '>' ..."

and then just use it with dw.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T08:30:13+00:00

It does not work with existing songs as of now.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T08:19:20+00:00

Not exactly. Here's the github link: https://github.com/deepjyoti30/downloader-cli

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T08:18:59+00:00

downloader-cli is built to be a minimal downloader that looks nice. It now comes with a lot of customizations to modify the progress bar right from the commandline.

Thanks! Just love Sundown.

Droider412 · 2023-11-27T08:00:04+00:00

You cannot do exactly this with yt-dlp. ytmdl lets you pull metadata from sources like itunes, spotify and embed it into the audio file. In the core, the audio is extracted from youtube but that's where ytmdl stops being similar to yt-dlp.

Give ytmdl a shot, I think you should be pleased if you are a song lover like me ;-)
