#8tracks-downloader

A bash script to download playlists from 8tracks. It's a very hackish way of doing it, but works for me.

##Usage

	./script.sh  

##Requirements 

* [Underscore-CLI](https://github.com/ddopson/underscore-cli) for parsing JSON

* [Axel](http://axel.alioth.debian.org/) for downloading tracks

##Steps

1. Go to an 8tracks mix page (like [this](http://8tracks.com/sundeepbhat/travel-read-experience)) in a new incognito window (basically none of the tracks should have been played earlier) and open up Chrome developer tools.

2. Copy the url. This is the ***mix-url*** in the command above.

3. Get the ***play-token*** from the console (you may need to enable XHR logging) or the network tab, where it typically appears as `.../sets//...`

4. Execute the above command and tracks from the mix are downloaded in a new folder with the same name as the mix.
