song-downloader's Introduction

song-downloader

A Python Script to download songs in the best available format from Youtube. Haven't tested it in a Windows machine. So, it would be nice if somebody could do it. As of now, it works with command line arguments. Why? No apparent reason, other than that it is more convinient for me. Just provide the song names after the program name, in quotes.
python downloader.py "<Song1>" "<Song2>" ... or
python downloader.py -i <filename>
where filename contains a list of song names

Dependancies

urllib: Install urllib module with pip3 with this command
pip3 install urllib
BeautifulSoup: Install BeautifulSoup4 with
pip3 install beautifulsoup4
youtube-dl: Install youtube-dl with
pip3 install youtube_dl

How to Use

First time users please check the next section.
Download the downloader.py file to your system.
Open the terminal and into the directory where the you saved the file.
Run this command:
python3 downloader.py <songname>
Enjoy ;)

First Time Use

Before using the program, open it with a text editor.
Change ~/Music/ to the path where you want the downloaded songs to be saved. And do leave a trailing '/' character.
Example: If you want them to be saved at ~/Music folder, then line 6 should look like this:
pathToSave = "~/Music/"
and not
pathToSave = "~/Music"
You're good to go. Refer How to Use if there's any issue.
