# slsk-batchdl

A batch downloader for Soulseek using Soulseek.NET. Accepts CSV files and Spotify or YouTube urls.

##### Download tracks from a csv file:
```
slsk-batchdl -i test.csv
```  
Use `--print tracks` before downloading to check if everything has been parsed correctly. The names of the columns should be: `Artist`, `Title`, `Album`, `Length`. Only the title column is required, but any additional info improves search.

##### Download spotify likes while skipping existing songs and creating an m3u file:
```
slsk-batchdl -i spotify-likes --m3u --skip-existing
```
You might need to provide an id and secret when using spotify (e.g when downloading a private playlist), which you can get here https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications. Create an app, then select it and add `http://localhost:48721/callback` as a redirect url in the settings.  
  
##### Download the first 10 songs of a youtube playlist:
```
slsk-batchdl -n 10 -i "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI_eFW8NAFzYAXZ5DrU6E6mQ_XfhaLBUX"
```
To include unavailable videos, you will need to provide an api key with `--youtube-key`. Get it here https://console.cloud.google.com. Create a new project, click "Enable Api" and search for "youtube data", then follow the prompts.  

##### Search & download a specific song, preferring high quality:
```
slsk-batchdl -i "title=MC MENTAL @ HIS BEST,length=242" --pref-format "flac,wav"
```  
  
##### Find an artist's songs which aren't in your library:
```
slsk-batchdl -i "artist=MC MENTAL" -a --print tracks --skip-existing --music-dir "path\to\music"
```

                                 info to download. The names of the columns should be Artist,
                                 Title, Album, Length. Only the title column is required, but

  --concurrent-processes <num>   Max concurrent searches & downloads (default: 2)
  --display <option>             Changes how searches and downloads are displayed.
                                 single (default): Show transfer state and percentage.
                                 double: Also show a progress bar.
                                 simple: Only printing

  --print <option>               Only print tracks or results instead of downloading.
                                 tracks: Print all tracks to be downloaded
                                 tracks-full: Print extended information about all tracks

                                 results-full: Print search results including full paths
```
Files not satisfying the conditions will not be downloaded. For example, `--length-tol` is set to 3 by default, meaning that files whose duration differs from the supplied duration by more than 3 seconds will not be downloaded (disable it by setting it to 99999).  
Files satisfying `pref-` conditions will be preferred. For example, setting `--pref-format "flac,wav"` will make it download high quality files if they exist and only download low quality files if there's nothing else.
  
Configuration files: Create a file named `slsk-batchdl.conf` in the same directory as the executable and write your arguments there, e.g:
```
--username "fakename"
--password "fakepass"
--pref-format "flac"
```  
  
### Notes:
- The CSV file must use `"` as string delimiter and be encoded with UTF8
- `--display single` and especially `double` can cause the printed lines to be duplicated or overwritten on some configurations. Use `simple` if that's an issue.
