Install libraries
You need Python 2.7.5 or above and the following library:
- SoundCloud client:
pip install soundcloud. Refer to their documentation for alternate installation methods (easy_install,apt-get, ...).
- Get your client id
You also need a CLIENT ID from SoundCloud. It is as simple as registering your "app".
youri:SoundCloud $ python download.py -h
usage: download.py [-h] [--track TRACK] [--playlist PLAYLIST] --id ID
[--override]
Download a SoundCloud sound or a complete playlist
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--track TRACK, -s TRACK Download a single track
--playlist PLAYLIST, -p PLAYLIST
Download all tracks from a public playlist
--id ID, -i ID Client ID
--override, -d Override file if it exists. Defaults to false
To download a track, copy the track page URL from your browser:
youri:SoundCloud $ python download.py --id my_id --track https://soundcloud.com/dj-crontab/indiscriminate-killers
Found: 'Indiscriminate Killers'
The track will be downloaded to a mp3 folder under the current directory.
To download all tracks from a playlist, make sure the playlist URL is accessible without password:
- Either by making the playlist public or
- By using its "sharing URL". To do so, go to the playlist and click on the "Share" button. Copy the "Private Share" URL that appears.
Example:
youri:SoundCloud $ python download.py --id my_id --playlist https://soundcloud.com/its-me/sets/my-list/sharecode
Found: 'Execute Every Minute'
File already exists, skipped
Found: 'Indiscriminate Killers'
Found: 'Above & Beyond pres. OceanLab - Satellite (ilan Bluestone Remix) [Out Now]'
Error: could not download
Found: 'Missiles at a Wedding - Heavy'
Found: 'CASHMERE'
Downloaded: 3, Skipped: 1, Errors: 1
Notice that, for some reason, some titles cannot be downloaded, probably due to restriction set by the author or poster.
The track will be downloaded to a folder named mp3/playlist_title under the current directory.
To download all tracks from all playlists of a user:
youri:SoundCloud $ python download.py --id my_id --all http://soundcloud.com/some-user
The playlists must be public.
Close to zero at the time. Use py.test:
youri:SoundCloud $ py.test -q tests
