Downloads audio, artwork, and metadata from Soundcloud
"Future Proof" method of downloading Soundcloud audio and embedding ID3 tags (title, artist, artwork) within the resulting file.
These dependencies must be met before attempting to install off-the-rip
# Mac
brew install eyeD3 rtmpdump
# Linux
sudo apt-get --assume-yes install eyeD3 rtmpdump
Once dependencies have been met, you can install off-the-rip
npm i -g off-the-rip
# Update
npm update -g off-the-rip
After cloning the repo...
npm install
npm link # Gives you access to `otr` in your terminal
The CLI takes two parameters, url
and dir
. The second is optional.
otr https://soundcloud.com/artist/track ~/Music
If a `dir` is not specified, the current directory will be used.
var otr = require('off-the-rip');
otr('https://soundcloud.com/artist/track', '~/Music', function() {
// Done
});
This tool is in no way shape or form to be used for downloading copyrighted music, it is designed and built as a proof-of-concept.
