Collectively, they are **playlists**. Playlists are updated once a day: a dozen songs are usually added to the tops, and many times more to the new ones.\n\nThe idea is to have a program that will download from these playlists only those tracks that **the user has not yet heard**. It becomes something like a semi-automatic library, where the user only **has to sift out** the tracks he likes.\n\nscollector does not require authorization and does its job much faster than any single-threaded scripts.\n\n## Screenshots\n\n![](https://img.tedomum.net/data/saymyname-bea14a.png)\n\n## Installation\n\nOne of the best ways to safely install and use python packages on any OS is to use **[pipx](https://github.com/pypa/pipx)**:\n- `pipx` package on Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Kali, Fedora, Solus, EPEL\n- `python-pipx` package on Arch Linux, Manjaro\n\nOther GNU/Linux distros, Windows, macOS:\n\n```bash\npython -m pip install --user pipx\n\npython -m pipx ensurepath\n```\n\nIf you want to use pip instead, I **strongly** discourage you from doing so, as it almost always results in package conflicts on the system.\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/meequrox/scollector.git\n\ncd scollector\n\npipx install .\n```\n\nYou also need to have `ffmpeg` installed for the thumbnail embedding to work.\nI recommend using distro package manager on GNU/Linux, [brew](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/macOS#ffmpegthroughHomebrew) on macOS, [choco](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/ffmpeg) on Windows.\n\n\n## Upgrade\n\npipx remembers which directory scollector was installed from, so you can just do\n\n```bash\n# Cloned repo\ncd scollector\n\ngit pull\n\npipx upgrade scollector\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nThe most convenient way to use the program is to create an alias or shortcut.\n\nFor example: `alias scc='scollector --country GB -vn --cleanup -o ~/Music --charts top trending --genres all-music world rock'`\n\n```bash\n# Print help message\n./scollector -h\n\n# Common use\n./scollector --country US --charts top --genres world --reset\n./scollector --country FR --charts trending top --genres rock deephouse hiphoprap --cleanup -n\n./scollector --country RU --genres house metal --charts trending -o ~/Music -r 80M -d 1000 --cleanup\n```\n\nFind codes for `--country` option [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2#Current_codes). Note that there are some codes for which playlists do not exist. In this case, you will get `Unable to download JSON metadata: HTTP Error 404: Not Found` message from yt-dlp.\n\n**Charts to choose from**: `top`, `trending`.\n\n**Genres to choose from**: `all-music`, `alternativerock`, `ambient`, `audiobooks`, `business`, `classical`, `comedy`, `country`, `danceedm`, `dancehall`, `deephouse`, `disco`, `drumbass`, `dubstep`, `electronic`, `entertainment`, `folksingersongwriter`, `hiphoprap`, `house`, `indie`, `jazzblues`, `latin`, `learning`, `metal`, `newspolitics`, `piano`, `pop`, `rbsoul`, `reggae`, `reggaeton`, `religionspirituality`, `rock`, `science`, `soundtrack`, `sports`, `storytelling`, `techno`, `technology`, `trance`, `trap`, `triphop`, `world`.\n\nscollector creates a new directory named *scollector_dl* in destination directory, so it won't harm your existing files.\nIf `--output` option is not specified, the current working directory is used as destination directory.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmeequrox%2Fscollector","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmeequrox%2Fscollector","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmeequrox%2Fscollector/lists"}
