A tool to download your music with metadata. It uses [Spotify](https://www.spotify.com/) for finding metadata and [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/) for the actual audio source. You will need to have some Spotify tokens, the instructions to set them up are [here](https://github.com/kepoorhampond/irs#spotify-tokens). Works with Python 2 and 3. ## Install and Setup ``` $ sudo pip install irs $ irs --setup ``` **You will need to have some Spotify tokens, the instructions to set them up are [here](https://github.com/kepoorhampond/irs#spotify-tokens).** ## Demo and Usages This is a demo of the CLI displayling its features: [](https://asciinema.org/a/105993?autoplay=1) The usages can be found with the `-h` or `--help` flag: ``` usage: irs [-h] [-a ARTIST -s SONG] [-A ALBUM [-a ARTIST]] [-u USERNAME -p PLAYLIST] [-l LOCATION] [-o] [-c] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -a ARTIST, --artist ARTIST Specify artist name. Must be used with -s/--song or -A/--album -s SONG, --song SONG Specify song name. Must be used with -a/--artist -A ALBUM, --album ALBUM Specify album name -u USERNAME, --username USERNAME Specify username. Must be used with -p/--playlist -p PLAYLIST, --playlist PLAYLIST Specify playlist name. Must be used with -u/--username -l LOCATION, --location LOCATION Specify a directory to place files in. -o, --organize Organize downloaded files. -c, --config Display path to config file. ``` So all of these are valid commands: ``` $ irs -a "Brandon Flowers" -s "Lonely Town" $ irs -u "spotify" -p "Brain Food" $ irs -A "Suicide Squad: The Album" ``` But these are not: ``` $ irs -s "Bohemian Rhapsody" $ irs -p "Best Nirvana" ``` ## Spotify Tokens To download metadata through spotify, you'll want to head to their Dev Apps page, [here](https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications/). After doing that you'll want to create a new app. Name it whatever you want and then once you've done that, find the `Client ID` and `Client Secret` keys. You'll want to take those keys and paste them into your system's environment variables as `SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID` and `SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET`, correspondingly. Viola! You can now download metadata with IRS! ## Metadata Currently, the program attaches the following metadata to the downloaded files: - Title - Artist - Album - Album Art - Genre - Track Number - Disc Number - Compilation (iTunes only) ## Philosophy When I made this program I was pretty much broke and my music addiction wasn't really helping that problem. So, I did the obvious thing: make an uber-complicated program to ~~steal~~ download music for me! As for the name, its acronym spells IRS, which I found amusing, seeing as the IRS ~~takes~~ steals money while my program ~~gives~~ reimburses you with music. The design/style inspiration of the CLI goes to [k4m4](https://github.com/k4m4). ## Wishlist - [x] Full album downloading - [x] Album art metadata correctly displayed - [x] Spotify playlist downloading - [ ] GUI/Console interactive version - *in progress* - [ ] Lyric metadata - [ ] 99% success rate for automatic song choosing
