I realized no software I know really does this how I want so I made my own.

Music Kraken

I am developing my own tool, music kraken. The PyPI build is outdated and doesn't work properly but I will make a new one soon.

Problem I am trying to solve

Even when torrenting or downloading music, the metadata isn't consistent and looks really messy in your music player.

Lyrics are only rarely in the file. The notes contain adds for the page it is downloaded from, which is like fair... but fuck it I don't like it.

So I use web scraping and data structures, to make the metadata consistent. As far as I am aware there is nothing like it.

Functionality

It can download songs from:

• YouTube Music
• musify.club

and more stuff like bandcamp are yet to come. It can also get additional metadata from musicbrainz, discogs or metal archives. As a matter of fact metal archives is already implemented.

It downloads the audio and converts it to an audio format like mp3, the only limmitation it needs to support ID3 metadata. Then ofc all possible metadatas will be saved and embedet in the file

Interface

usage: __main__.py [-h] [-v] [-m] [-t] [-a] [-g GENRE] [-u URL] [--settings]
                   [-s SETTING SETTING] [--paths] [-r] [--frontend]

A simple yet powerful cli to download music with music-kraken.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose         Sets the logging level to debug.
  -m, --force-post-process
                        If a to downloaded thing is skipped due to being found
                        on disc, it will still update the metadata
                        accordingly.
  -t, --test            For the sake of testing. Equals: '-vp -g test'
  -a, --all             If set it will download EVERYTHING the music
                        downloader can find. For example weird compilations
                        from musify.
  -g GENRE, --genre GENRE
                        Specifies the genre. (Will be overwritten by -t)
  -u URL, --url URL     Downloads the content of given url.
  --settings            Opens a menu to modify the settings
  -s SETTING SETTING, --setting SETTING SETTING
                        Modifies a setting directly.
  --paths, -p           Prints an overview over all music-kraken paths.
  -r                    Resets the config file to the default one.
  --frontend, -f        Set a good and fast invidious/piped instance from your
                        homecountry, to reduce the latency.

Check out Lidarr Extended too: https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/docker-lidarr-extended . It adds some additional functionality that addresses some of your concerns.

damn, thanks for showing me radarr and sonarr. Never knew those existed.

every automated method of pirating music i've seen using something like youtube and I can't handle how low that quality is lol. like the whole point of having a local music library is to not have to deal with that. i'd love to be able to just download an entire rym chart though
