Console app for soundcloud.

Primary LanguagePython

soundcloud-console

Console app for soundcloud. I wrote this after seeing cmd.fm. As I was playing around with it, I thought to myself - I want to be able to do this on my actual terminal! So I wrote this.

Usage

OSX ONLY.

This program utilizes afplay, an Apple-specific utility that plays audio files from the console. It will work on OSX 10.5 or later.

Search

sc search <search term>

This will give you a list of soundcloud results from that term, with their Track ID in green.

Options:

-l <#>

Adding -l to search will allow you to increase or decrease the amount of search results returned by the program.

Play

sc play <track id>

This will play the track that you input. It is suggested that you use the track ID when actually playing a track, as entering the name will play the first result.

WARNING: This will temporarily download your song, and then delete it after the song is finished playing. If you stop the song partway through, the track will not delete!

Download

sc download <track id>

Same as sc play, but will save the file with a more descriptive filename. This will also not play or delete the track.

Installation

This program requires the soundcloud python api:

pip install soundcloud

or

easy_install soundcloud

Besides that, just download it and run it in a terminal. If you have any issues, please create an issue report! I will be sure to get back to you ASAP!

Licensing

THE ONLY THING I OWN HERE IS THE CODE IN THIS PROGRAM!!!
