Does it automatically grab things like metadata (author, cover art, etc.) for you? And if it requires a flag, do you know it?
I don't bother personally for the most part but it seems like you can do it via --embed-metadata, --parse-metadata, and --embed-thumbnail.
Unless the artist only posts on YouTube, try soulseek. Most files have metadata already included, and if they don't, you can just download from another user.
Soulseek. Added to my notes. Will check it out, thanks
It’s very automatic with just pointing it at the media’s URL, but also highly configurable if you want.
May I suggest SpotDL specifically for Spotify: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader
Does it work anymore? I've been getting the 500 error while trying to use it for a couple of months non stop.
I've been using it recently without many issues
Huh. Wonder why its so finicky. Oh well, maybe I'll give it another go in the future.
For songs with metadata I recommend ytmdl
