Building
Clone the repository using git and change to the local repository directory:
git clone https://github.com/oSumAtrIX/DownOnSpot.git
cd DownOnSpot
A private ssh key is needed to use free Spotify accounts.
Follow this answer by DopeGhoti on stackexchange.com on how to set up ssh with the required private key.
A sample ~/.ssh/config file could look like this:
Host github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/free_librespot_private_key
If you do not want to use free-librespot (i.e. if you are using a paid Spotify account), then remove the git dependency of free-librespot.
For that, delete git = "ssh://[email protected]/oSumAtrIX/free-librespot.git" inside Cargo.toml.
For paid Spotify accounts, make sure to then add librespot = "0.4.2" in the Cargo.toml file instead.
Nightly Rust is required to build this project. Install it by following rustup.rs instructions.
cargo build --release
If you get a linker error, you might need to download the standard libmp3lame library.
On OS X, it should be enough to just run brew install lame, provided you have Homebrew installed.
Usage/ Examples
Running DownOnSpot once will create the default configuration file in the same directory as your shell.
$ down_on_spot.exe
Settings could not be loaded, because of the following error: IO: NotFound No such file or directory. (os error 2)...
..but default settings have been created successfully. Edit them and run the program again.
$ down_on_spot.exe
Usage:
down_on_spot.exe (search_term | track_url | album_url | playlist_url | artist_url)
On OS X, the settings.json file is created globally for the logged in user and is located in ~/.config/down_on_spot/settings.json.
Apart from your Spotify username and password, you will need to login in to the Spotify developer dashboard and create a new private application. Fill in the client_id and client_secret in your settings.json from your newly created app.
All the other settings should be self-explanatory, conversion from Ogg to MP3 is disabled by default.
Template variables
Following variables are available for path and filename_template in the settings.json:
- %0disc%
- %0track%
- %album%
- %albumArtist%
- %albumArtists%
- %artist%
- %disc%
- %id%
- %title%
- %track%
