|
|
### Notes
|
|
Acronyms of two- and --three-word-flags are also accepted, e.g. --twf. If the option
|
|
contains the word 'max' then the m should be uppercase. 'bitrate', 'sameplerate' and
|
|
'bitdepth' should be all treated as two separate words, e.g --Mbr for --max-bitrate.
|
|
|
|
Flags can be explicitly disabled by setting them to false, e.g '--interactive false'
|
|
|
|
## Input types
|
|
|
|
The input type is usually determined automatically. To force a specific input type, set
|
|
--input-type [spotify|youtube|csv|string|bandcamp|list]. The following input types are available:
|
|
|
|
### CSV file
|
|
Path to a local CSV file: Use a csv file containing track info of the songs to download.
|
|
The names of the columns should be Artist, Title, Album, Length, although alternative names
|
|
are usually detected as well. Only the title or album column is required, but extra info may
|
|
improve search result ranking. Every row that does not have a title column text will be treated
|
|
as an album download.
|
|
|
|
### YouTube
|
|
A playlist url: Download songs from a youtube playlist.
|
|
The default method to retrieve playlists doesn't always return all videos, especially not
|
|
the ones which are unavailable. To get all video titles, you can use the official API by
|
|
providing a 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.
|
|
|
|
### Spotify
|
|
A playlist/album url or 'spotify-likes': Download a spotify playlist, album, or your
|
|
liked songs. Credentials are required when downloading a private playlist or liked music.
|
|
|
|
#### Using Credentials
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Click to expand</summary>
|
|
|
|
Create a Spotify application at https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications with a redirect url http://localhost:48721/callback. Obtain an application ID and secret from the created application dashboard.
|
|
|
|
Start sldl with the obtained credentials and an authorized action to trigger the Spotify app login flow:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sldl spotify-likes --spotify-id 123456 --spotify-secret 123456 -n 1 --print-tracks
|
|
```
|
|
sldl will try to open a browser automatically but will fallback to logging the login flow URL to output. After login flow is complete sldl will output a token and refresh token and finish running the current command.
|
|
|
|
To skip requiring login flow every time sldl is used the token and refresh token can be provided to sldl (hint: store this info in the config file to make commands less verbose):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sldl spotify-likes --spotify-id 123456 --spotify-secret 123456 --spotify-refresh 123456 --spotify-token 123456 -n 1 --pt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
spotify-token access is only valid for 1 hour. spotify-refresh will enable sldl to renew access every time it is run (and can be used without including spotify-token)
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
### Bandcamp
|
|
A bandcamp url: Download a single track, an album, or an artist's entire discography.
|
|
Extracts the artist name, album name and sets --album-track-count="n+", where n is the
|
|
number of visible tracks on the bandcamp page.
|
|
|
|
### Search string
|
|
Name of the track, album, or artist to search for: Can either be any typical search string
|
|
(like what you would enter into the soulseek search bar), or a comma-separated list of
|
|
properties like 'title=Song Name, artist=Artist Name, length=215'.
|
|
|
|
The following properties are accepted:
|
|
```
|
|
title
|
|
artist
|
|
album
|
|
length (in seconds)
|
|
artist-maybe-wrong
|
|
album-track-count
|
|
```
|
|
Example inputs and their interpretations:
|
|
```
|
|
Input String | Artist | Title | Album | Length
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
'Foo Bar' (without any hyphens) | | Foo Bar | |
|
|
'Foo - Bar' | Foo | Bar | |
|
|
'Foo - Bar' (with --album enabled) | Foo | | Bar |
|
|
'Artist - Title, length=42' | Artist | Title | | 42
|
|
'artist=AR, title=T, album=AL' | AR | T | AL |
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### List
|
|
A path to a text file where each line has the following form:
|
|
```
|
|
"some input" "conditions" "preferred conditions"
|
|
```
|
|
e.g:
|
|
```
|
|
"artist=Artist, album=Album" "format=mp3; br > 128" "br >= 320"
|
|
```
|
|
Where "some input" is any of the above input types. The quotes can be omitted if the field
|
|
contains no spaces. The condition fields are added on top of the
|
|
configured conditions and can also be omitted. List input must be manually activated with
|
|
--input-type=list.
|
|
It also accepts a shorthand for album downloads: `a:"Artist - Album"`. Note that the `a:` must appear outside the quotes.
|
|
|
|
## Download modes
|
|
|
|
### Normal
|
|
The default. Downloads a single file for every input entry.
|
|
|
|
### Album
|
|
sldl will search for the album and download an entire folder including non-audio
|
|
files. Activated when the input is a link to a spotify or bandcamp album, when the input
|
|
string or csv row has no track title, or when -a/--album is enabled.
|
|
|
|
### Aggregate
|
|
With -g/--aggregate, sldl performs an ordinary search for the input then attempts to
|
|
group the results into distinct songs and download one of each kind, starting with the one
|
|
shared by the most users.
|
|
Note that --min-shares-aggregate is 2 by default, which means that songs shared by only
|
|
one user will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
### Album Aggregate
|
|
Activated when both --album and --aggregate are enabled. sldl will group shares and download
|
|
one of each distinct album, starting with the one shared by the most users. It is
|
|
recommended to pair this with --interactive.
|
|
Note that --min-shares-aggregate is 2 by default, which means that albums shared by only
|
|
one user will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Searching
|
|
|
|
### Search Query
|
|
The search query is determined as follows:
|
|
|
|
- For album downloads: If the album field is non-empty, search for 'Artist Album'.
|
|
Otherwise, search for 'Artist Title'
|
|
- For all other download types: If the title field is non-empty, search for 'Artist Title'.
|
|
Otherwise, search for 'Artist Album'
|
|
|
|
### Soulseek's rate limits
|
|
The server will ban you for 30 minutes if too many searches are performed within a short
|
|
timespan. The program has a search limiter which can be adjusted with --searches-per-time
|
|
and --searches-renew-time (when the limit is reached, the status of the downloads will be
|
|
"Waiting"). By default it is configured to allow up to 34 searches every 220 seconds.
|
|
The default values were determined through experimentation, so they may be incorrect.
|
|
|
|
### Speeding things up
|
|
The following options will make it go faster, but may decrease search result quality or cause
|
|
instability:
|
|
- --fast-search skips waiting until the search completes and downloads as soon as a file
|
|
matching the preferred conditions is found
|
|
- --concurrent-downloads - set it to 4 or more
|
|
- --max-stale-time is set to 50 seconds by default, so it will wait a long time before giving
|
|
up on a file
|
|
- --searches-per-time - increase at the risk of bans
|
|
- --album-parallel-search - enables parallel searching for album entries
|
|
|
|
## File conditions
|
|
|
|
Files not satisfying the required conditions will not be downloaded. Files satisfying pref-
|
|
conditions will be preferred; setting --pref-format "flac,wav" will make it download lossless
|
|
files if available, and only download lossy files if there's nothing else.
|
|
|
|
There are no default required conditions. The default preferred conditions are:
|
|
```
|
|
pref-format = mp3
|
|
pref-length-tol = 3
|
|
pref-min-bitrate = 200
|
|
pref-max-bitrate = 2500
|
|
pref-max-samplerate = 48000
|
|
pref-strict-title = true
|
|
pref-strict-album = true
|
|
pref-accept-no-length = false
|
|
```
|
|
sldl will therefore prefer mp3 files with bitrate between 200 and 2500 kbps, and whose length
|
|
differs from the supplied length by no more than 3 seconds. It will also prefer files whose
|
|
paths contain the supplied title and album (ignoring case, and bounded by boundary characters)
|
|
and which have non-null length. Changing the last three preferred conditions is not recommended.
|
|
Note that files satisfying a subset of the preferred conditions will still be preferred over files
|
|
that don't satisfy any condition, but some conditions have precedence over others. For instance,
|
|
a file that only satisfies strict-title (if enabled) will always be preferred over a file that
|
|
only satisfies the format condition. Run with --print "results-full" to reveal the sorting logic.
|
|
|
|
Conditions can also be supplied as a semicolon-delimited string with --cond and --pref, e.g
|
|
--cond "br >= 320; format = mp3,ogg; sr < 96000".
|
|
|
|
### Filtering irrelevant results
|
|
The options --strict-title, --strict-artist and --strict-album will filter any file that
|
|
does not contain the title/artist/album in the filename (ignoring case, bounded by boundary
|
|
chars).
|
|
Another way to prevent false downloads is to set --length-tol to 3 or less to make it ignore
|
|
any songs that differ from the input by more than 3 seconds. However, all 4 options are already
|
|
enabled as 'preferred' conditions by default, meaning that such files will only be downloaded
|
|
as a last resort anyways. Hence it is only recommended to enable them if you need to minimize
|
|
false downloads as much as possible, or for special cases like tracks or albums whose name
|
|
is just one or a two characters.
|
|
|
|
### Important note
|
|
Some info may be unavailable depending on the client used by the peer. For example, the standard
|
|
Soulseek client does not share the file bitrate. If (e.g) --min-bitrate is set, then sldl will
|
|
still accept any file with unknown bitrate. You can configure it to reject all files where one
|
|
or more of the checked properties is null (unknown) by enabling --strict-conditions.
|
|
As a consequence, if --min-bitrate is also set then any files shared by users with the default
|
|
client will be ignored. Also note that the default preferred conditions will already affect
|
|
ranking with this option due to the bitrate and samplerate checks.
|
|
|
|
## Name format
|
|
|
|
Variables enclosed in {} will be replaced by the corresponding file tag value.
|
|
Name format supports subdirectories as well as conditional expressions like {tag1|tag2} - If
|
|
tag1 is null, use tag2. String literals enclosed in parentheses are ignored in the null check.
|
|
|
|
### Examples:
|
|
- "{artist} - {title}"
|
|
Always name it 'Artist - Title'. Because some files on Soulseek are untagged, the
|
|
following is generally preferred:
|
|
- "{artist( - )title|filename}"
|
|
If artist and title are not null, name it 'Artist - Title', otherwise use the original
|
|
filename.
|
|
- "{albumartist(/)album(/)track(. )title|(missing-tags/)foldername(/)filename}"
|
|
Sort files into artist/album folders if all tags are present, otherwise put them in
|
|
the 'missing-tags' folder.
|
|
|
|
### Available variables:
|
|
```
|
|
artist First artist (from the file tags)
|
|
sartist Source artist (as on CSV/Spotify/YouTube/etc)
|
|
artists Artists, joined with '&'

## Configuration
|
|
### Config Location:
|
|
sldl will look for a file named sldl.conf in the following locations:
|
|
```
|
|
~/AppData/Roaming/sldl/sldl.conf
|
|
~/.config/sldl/sldl.conf
|
|
```
|
|
as well as in the directory of the executable.
|
|
|
|
### Syntax:
|
|
Example config file:
|
|
```
|
|
username = your-username
|
|
password = your-password
|
|
pref-format = flac
|
|
fast-search = true
|
|
```
|
|
Lines starting with hashtags (#) will be ignored. Tildes in paths are expanded as the user
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration profiles:
|
|
Profiles are supported:
|
|
```
|
|
[lossless]
|
|
pref-format = flac,wav
|
|
```
|
|
To activate the above profile, run --profile "lossless". To list all available profiles,
|
|
run --profile "help".
|
|
Profiles can be activated automatically based on a few simple conditions:
|
|
```
|
|
[no-stale]
|
|
profile-cond = interactive && download-mode == "album"
|
|
max-stale-time = 999999
|
|
# album downloads will never be automatically cancelled in interactive mode
|
|
|
|
[youtube]
|
|
profile-cond = input-type == "youtube"
|
|
path = ~/downloads/sldl-youtube
|
|
# download to another location for youtube
|
|
```
|
|
The following operators are supported for use in profile-cond: &&, ||, ==, !=, !{bool}.
|
|
The following variables are available:
|
|
```
|
|
input-type ("youtube"|"csv"|"string"|"bandcamp"|"spotify")
|
|
download-mode ("normal"|"aggregate"|"album"|"album-aggregate")
|
|
interactive (bool)
|
|
```
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Download tracks from a csv file:
|
|
```
|
|
sldl test.csv
|
|
```
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Download spotify likes:
|
|
```
|
|
sldl spotify-likes
|
|
```
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Interactive album download:
|
|
```
|
|
sldl "Some Album" -a -t
|
|
```
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Download a specific song by name, preferring lossless:
|
|
```
|
|
sldl "MC MENTAL @ HIS BEST, length=242" --pref-format "flac,wav"
|
|
```
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Download the album of every song in a spotify playlist:
|
|
```
|
|
sldl https://spotify/playlist/id -a
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Retrieve deleted video names, then download from a youtube playlist with fallback to yt-dlp:
|
|
```
|
|
sldl https://www.youtube.com/playlist/id --get-deleted --yt-dlp
|
|
```
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Print all songs by an artist which are not in your library:
|
|
```
|
|
sldl "artist=MC MENTAL" --aggregate --skip-music-dir "path/to/music" --print results-full
|
|
```
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Download all albums by an artist found on soulseek:
|
|
```
|
|
sldl "artist=MC MENTAL" -a -g -t
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Advanced example: Automatic wishlist downloader
|
|
Create a file named `wishlist.txt`, and add some items as detailed in [Input types: List](#list):
|
|
```bash
|
|
"Artist - My Favorite Song"
|
|
a:"Artist - Some Album, album-track-count=5" "format=flac"
|
|
```
|
|
Add a profile to your `sldl.conf`:
|
|
```
|
|
[wishlist]
|
|
input = ~/sldl/wishlist.txt
|
|
input-type = list
|
|
index-path = ~/sldl/wishlist-index.sldl
|
|
album-parallel-search = true
|
|
```
|
|
This will create a global index file `wishlist-index.sldl` which will be scanned every time sldl is run to skip wishlist items that have already been downloaded. If you want to continue searching until a version satisfying the preferred conditions is downloaded, also add `skip-check-pref-cond = true` (note that this requires the files to remain in the same spot after being downloaded).
|
|
Finally, set up a cron job (or a scheduled task on windows) to periodically run sldl with the following option:
|
|
```
|
|
sldl --profile wishlist
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
- For macOS builds you can use publish.sh to build the app. Download dotnet from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0, then run `chmod +x publish.sh && sh publish.sh`. For intel macs, uncomment the x64 and comment the arm64 section in publish.sh.
|
|
- The printed output may appear duplicated, overlap, or not update on some configurations (new windows terminal, git bash). Use another terminal or `--no-progress` in case of issues.
|
|
|
|
## Docker
|
|
|
|
A docker container for running `sldl` can be built from this repository. The image supports linux x86/ARM.
|
|
|
|
To build and start container:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
clone https://github.com/fiso64/slsk-batchdl
|
|
cd slsk-batchdl
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`exec` into the container to start using `sldl`:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker compose exec sldl sh
|
|
sldl --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The compose stack mounts two directories relative to where `docker-compose.yml` is located which can be used for file management:
|
|
|
|
* `/config` (at `./config` on host) - put your `sldl.conf` [configuration](#configuration-) in this directory and then use `sldl -c /config ...` to use your configuration in the container
|
|
* `/data` (at `./data` on host) - use as the download directory IE `sldl -p /data ...`
|
|
|
|
### File Permissions
|
|
|
|
If you are running Docker on a **Linux Host** you should specify `user:group` permissions of the user who owns the **configuration and data directory** on the host to avoid [docker file permission problems.](https://ikriv.com/blog/?p=4698) These can be specified using the [environmental variables **PUID** and **PGID**.](https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/understanding-puid-and-pgid)
|
|
|
|
To get the UID and GID for the current user run these commands from a terminal:
|
|
|
|
* `id -u` -- prints UID
|
|
* `id -g` -- prints GID
|
|
|
|
Replace these with the corresponding variable (`PUID` `PGID`) in `docker-compose.yml`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Cron
|
|
|
|
One or more `sldl` commands can be run on a schedule using [cron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron) built into the container.
|
|
|
|
To create a schedule make a new file on the host `./config/crontabs/abc` and use it with the standard [crontab](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#Overview) syntax.
|
|
|
|
Make sure to restart the container after any changes to the cron file are made.
|
|
|
|
Example => Run `sldl` every Sunday at 1am, search for missing tracks from the specified Spotify playlist
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# min hour day month weekday command
|
|
0 1 * * 0 sldl https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6sf1WR5grXGJ6dET -c /config -p /data --skip-existing --m3u-path /data/index.sldl"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
[crontab.guru](https://crontab.guru/) could be used to help with the scheduling expression.
