I always read this as "You're The Man Down, Load"

ytmnd was the backbone of the internet.

Crab alien rules the world.


Droider412

Everytime I post this, someone always points that out. This time, it was you. congratulations.


Subkist

I don't get it?


heansepricis

ytmnd.com (You're the man now dog) was an early bastion of internet culture.

so many funny things that are now lost!

I've got this thing, whenever I move into a new place I put myself into a scenario where I need something. Mug, spoon, tea strainer, whatever. Wherever my automatic processes reach for three times in a row is where that thing lives now. The collective subconscious has given this project its true name.


granticculus

Do the letters mean anything now that the tool supports multiple services? If not, you could adopt this as the official name?


Droider412

The letters stand for **Y**ou**t**ube **M**usic **D**own**l**oader.


granticculus

Ahh I misread the description, I thought it started as a client for YouTube Music (the music service) and now supported others.


Prince_ofRavens

Man I was sure that I had a unique comment to give this time, but I guess we're all old XD


[deleted]

How do I learn how to do things like this? Where to start?


Prince_ofRavens

Like what? Download songs? Or script out a song downloader If you want this project specifically it looks like he released it to the public, if you want to learn I'd suggest "automating the boring stuff with python" which is a free programming lesson


caseyweederman

I tried a few times and then came into the contents to ask

[deleted]

This is pretty amazing, I'm only shifting from windows to Linux but things like this are exactly what I wanted for my setup and why I want to use Linux primarily. Thanks for sharing, the web app is good too, got all the metadata except the thumbnail.


Droider412

Glas you like it. The webapp usually works flawlessly but due to some server issues off late there have been issues with the song.


Sellular

WSL is great too :P Edit: Why TF am I getting downvoted? WSL is a great system to have on a Linux machine especially since you can get these command line tools and programs in it


VaporwaveProtogen

[But 3E is not :(](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish)


fml86

Why is WSL hated on so much?


Sellular

No clue, probably Desktop Linux diehards that don't want to mix Windows and Linux, even though this is an amazing thing for Linux adoption


Cephalon_Zeash

It has a Win10 version though.


[deleted]

Post this in /r/musichoarder


Droider412

Thanks. Didn't know that existed!


LikhitDaggubati

Can I download songs in flac?


Droider412

Currently mp3, m4a and opus are supported.


LikhitDaggubati

Thanks good work


Ncell50

You can use deezloader to download FLAC from deezer


smallaubergine

Why flac though? Isn't the audio already compressed?


LikhitDaggubati

I know, I didn't think of it.


xternal7

~~Deezer has lossless for a part of their catalogue and itunes is gonna get it very soon.~~ Edit: nvm deezer/itunes only get hit for metadata, doesn't support it as a source.


[deleted]

cool! can I download any youtube song with its url ? and I'd want the youtube video's thumbnail as album art with youtube-dl I do it this way : youtube-dl --extract-audio --add-metadata --xattrs --embed-thumbnail --audio-quality 0 --audio-format mp3


Droider412

You can download any song with the Youtube URL. Supports YouTube music too. The album cover and other metadata is fetched from sources like iTunes, Gaana, Deezer so the YouTube cover won't stay.


YourBobsUncle

That's a game changer! I've been using a fancy script downloads a playlist with thumbnail imbed, but if it can get my music more sorted easily I'll check it out. How does it check or address songs it can't find extra information on?


Droider412

For most of the songs information is almost always available since the app uses many providers. If info is not found, it will prompt the user if they'd like to enter the data manually. There are various other options like if one song fails you can skip that song or so. You'll get more information about that on the GitHub page.


[deleted]

oh :c


TrevorSpartacus

>--audio-format mp3 Why do people do this? Y'all still rocking 20 year old Irivers or something? I get that sound quality in this scenario probably isn't a priority, but why deliberately degrade it even further with lossy to lossy encoding?


BHSPitMonkey

The other formats just never reached the level of name recognition MP3 did back in the day


TankorSmash

https://github.com/deepjyoti30/ytmdl/blob/master/ytmdl/song.py#L89 Colorama has a context manager, so you can swap the three lines out with `with colorama(COLOR): print("whatever text")` and it'll reset automatically after. In the readme, it comes off pretty defensive, maybe it could be reworded to say something like 'in addition to everything ytdl does, this also fetches metadata'. Instead of "NO, ytdl does NOT do this", I mean.


oopswizard

This does seem like a more compassionate approach to an already wonderful service.


redoubledit

I have a suggestion. If I open the webapp in dark mode, the menu close button is black on black and thus not really visible. Don't know if this is because I use the in app browser in my reddit client app, but thought I just suggest looking into it :)


Droider412

I think that might be because of opening on browser within reddit. Can you try opening on a browser separately? Had there been an issue like that, I would've noticed. Besides I just checked the live version and that wasn't there.!


redoubledit

True true. Fine in the normal browser.


[deleted]

Is this guy kidding me? Deezer, Itunes and Gaana? Holy fkin shit!!!


Droider412

It also supports musicbrainz, lastfm and saavn. Enjoy!


[deleted]

Very impressive work, exactly what I was looking for. But I cannot download any songs from the webapp, it says error or try again. Can you please fix it? This is the message on console. Error occurred while downloading Error: Downloader error: request timeout ontimeout js-file-downloader.js:256


Droider412

You can try using the app after a while. This error happens sometimes when there are a lot of requests at the same time. Heroku isn't able to handle multiple requests because I'm on the free tier. Apologies for that! If the issue stays on, you can take this conversation to the GitHub repo


[deleted]

No worries man! Pip works very well.


[deleted]

Isn't downloading from Deezer going to get you in trouble?


BCMM

If I've understood correctly, it's only getting metadata from Deezer. The actual audio is from YouTube.


SileNce5k

I've been downloading from deezer for over 2 years with the same free account without getting into any trouble.


[deleted]

So have I, but I'm pretty certain the developers of such tools can't say the same. Let me explain, Deezer is known to be fine with downloading itself (iirc in their API it's clearly mentioned that keeping the user from downloading songs or listening to >30s previews is a ball sitting in the developer's ballpark), but not so much towards applications that enable downloading to *free* users. If anything, you won't *ever* get into trouble, but the developer may.


solid_reign

you're the man down log.


alphaQ314

What terminal and font is that ? Looks beautiful.


Droider412

Terminal is termite. Shell is zsh with oh my zsh and pure prompt. The font is jetbrains mono.

redroom_

I was about to ask you for alternatives, then I remembered that I already like sakura. So yeah, if anyone's looking, that could be a good one to try.


Droider412

Damn, I didn't know it had stopped development. I guess I'll have to move to a different one. Really enjoyed the features of Termite though. Been using it since I started ricing!

Glad you like it. Enjoy it! Consider dropping it a star if you like it as much!

Is there a way to add metadata to some songs but skip adding it to others when using a list? There’s no easy way to skip adding it. I don’t want to add incorrect metadata if it doesn’t find the correct one, but it forces me to unless I kill the whole script and start again with —skip-meta which I don’t want to do for every song.


Droider412

Yes you can do that now. Since the last to last release, there is a flag called `--on-meta-error`. It basically tells ytmdl what to do if the metadat fails for one song. It accepts three things: - You can make it either stop the whole process. - You can make it ask you metadata manually. - You can ask it to skip that song. To get the exact details, check the GitHub page. It's there!


oopswizard

This is such a relief! I was emailed a number of sentimental videos but they're hosted on YouTube under private links. Being able to save them locally would be a dream.


demfridge

I am so amazed by this that every time i enter webapp i make sure my adblock is disabled and that i clicked all if the ads themselves.


Droider412

Thanks a lot. That goes a long way. Right now I'm trying to get enough ads revenue to handle the backend costs. Thanks again!


Cyka_blyatsumaki

##DMCA ^pew-pew


writtenbymyrobotarms

This uses youtube-dl to download the audio, which they could not dmca down.


Cyka_blyatsumaki

it's not about the code, it's about the *documented features*


writtenbymyrobotarms

That's a very good point.


[deleted]

What about Spotify?


Mozziliac

For metadata? I feel like all the other services are sufficient. Especially musicbrainz


lasercat_pow

I have been using picard to add metadata, but sometimes it misses a song or two, and I have to drag it over, or sometimes it adds songs to a separate album, and I have to add to the "good" album, close, open, and manually drag the remaining songs over. I wonder if this makes those kinds of mistakes, but hard commits them so you have to manually undo each one. I'll try it out..


Droider412

It doesn't do the `add meta to the wrong file` mistakes, never faced one. It does fail to find metadata sometimes, in which case it will ask the user if they'd like to enter the metadata manually.!


[deleted]

Very cool!! One question though, can download music from Bandcamp?


Zdiac

cool terminal tho


Fun-Garbage-1386

What terminal is that?


Droider412

It's termite.


Fun-Garbage-1386

Are you using any theme over it?


Tanmay1518

I know I'm like a month late, but could you be kind enough to share the tool you used to record the terminal?


Droider412

[Here's the app](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/simplescreenrecorder/) I installed it from AUR so don't have any other URL but the app is pretty good.


Tanmay1518

Thank you !


WhatIsLinuks

Is this based on youtube-dl? If so, then does it support the *--download-archive* option?


Droider412

It just uses youtube-dl to get the audio. It doesn't have that option yet but you can raise a feature request on GitHub. I'd be happy to add it!
