metal-ripper-discogs

A fork of metal-ripper that uses Discogs as a database. Provide it a YouTube video of an album or EP and it will download it and, using Discogs data, split it into properly tagged and titled tracks.

Dependencies and Requirements

• Python.
• These packages, using pip: youtube_dl, pydub, requests, eyed3, discogs_client.
• A Discogs account.
• A Discogs user key. You must enter this in the 'token' value in line 5 of the python file. This is needed to perform a "search" in the discogs API.
• ffmpeg, for users on Windows or Debian/Ubuntu. Windows users can easily install ffmpeg with a tool like media-autobuild suite or the chocolatey package manager.

Usage

python metal-ripper-discogs.py [youtube album video]. Use the tag -m if you want to use your own Discogs page. Use python metal-ripper-discogs.py -h for the full options.

Note

Like the original program, this is meant to assist with the retreival and cataloguing of rare, out-of-print music using YouTube and Discogs. I do not encourage the use of this tool to violate copyright.
