VK Music Downloader

A very simple tool to download music through VKontakte Music API.

This a proof of concept.

Inspired by DatMusic, MyFreeMp3

Features

For now

• Scrape Spotify playlist page
• Download all the titles from MyFreeMp3 aka VK Music
• Generate a .m3u8 playlist file

TODO

• Dowload all songs in a folder
• Add Spotify metadatas in the m3u8 file
• Add proper command line options
• Add CLI progress info
• Having placeholder for files that can't be downloaded, maybe as comment in the m3u8 file
• Having a option to retry/resync download mp3 based on the m3u8 file
• Check the mime type of receive files because some are html files instead of mp3 WTF !!
• Rewrite this as a plugin for Ampache
• Rewrite this as a plugin for Funkwhale
• Add MusicBrain ID3Tag on file
• Have a fallback for downloading song with youtube-dl :-P

Goals

• Try to use state of art NodeJS APIs
• Demonstrate what we can do with 100 lines of Javascript (and an infinity of dependencies, HALF OF THE WORLD LITERALY)
