music-dl

A small program for getting an album from a youtube playlist and tagging it.

What works

• Downloading albums from youtube
• Converting them to a single format
• Adding artist, album name, and song title to all the songs

What doesn't (help wanted)

• Adding cover art to songs, currently pushing for ogg support.
• Adding more support for other formats

How can I get cover support for [music player of choice here]

The majority of good music players (foobar2000, vlc, etc) are satisfied with a simple cover.jpg (or png) in the same directory as the album. So after downloading the album with music-dl, it might be a good idea to grab the cover image and stick it in there so your music player can have the art loaded.

Requirements

Music-dl uses the following programs to run

• Python 3.6+: Get it from your package manager or from Python's site
