MusicUtils 0.1.dev6

# MusicUtils Library to download music from list of songs (and websites such as billboards.com) and updating their metadata (Title, TrackNo, Artist, Album, AlbumArt, Lyrics etc.) //In development

## Installation

Make sure you’re using python3 and have pip installed and enabled. On the command line, simply run:

pip install musicutils

### Requirements:

MusicUtils requires ffmpeg to convert files to mp3.

On a linux system:

sudo apt install ffmpeg

On windows:

Installing ffmpeg is slightly trickier on windows. [Read the instructions here](http://adaptivesamples.com/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-windows/).

On MacOS

brew install ffmpeg

brew link ffmpeg

## Usage

MusicUtils can be invoked from the commandline after installation.

mutils “Song Item 1” “Song Item 2” “Song Item 3” […]

to download individual files.

For example,

mutils “A Great Big World - Say Something”

Use mutils -f “songlist.txt” to download files using a text file containing song titles in individual lines.

songlist.txt is a list of song title-artist pairs, one in a line.

You may also replace a song title by it’s incomplete lyrics, and in most cases, it should work just fine.

In case of weird results, remember that the first result on Youtube is what is downloaded.

### Downloading songs from a list in a url

mutils –url https://www.thetoptens.com/indie-rock-songs/ –count 20

OR

mutils -u https://www.thetoptens.com/indie-rock-songs/ -n 20

Count is optional, defaults to 10.

Supported list sites: - https://www.thetoptens.com/

### Rearranging files

To arrange the music files which contain metadata neatly into folders (artist->album->files), use the following command.

mutils –arrange –directory /path/to/folder

or, more simply,

mutils -a -d path/to/folder
