Installation

First, ensure Python (version 3.10 or greater) and pip are installed. Then install ffmpeg. You may choose not to install this, but some functionality will be limited.

pip3 install streamrip --upgrade

When you type

rip

it should show the main help page. If you have no idea what these mean, or are having other issues installing, check out the detailed installation instructions.

For Arch Linux users, an AUR package exists. Make sure to install required packages from the AUR before using makepkg or use an AUR helper to automatically resolve them.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/streamrip.git
cd streamrip
makepkg -si

or

paru -S streamrip

Streamrip beta

If you want to get access to the latest and greatest features without waiting for a new release, install from the dev branch with the following command

pip3 install git+https://github.com/nathom/streamrip.git@dev

Example Usage

For Tidal and Qobuz, you NEED a premium subscription.

Download an album from Qobuz

rip url https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/rumours-fleetwood-mac/0603497941032

Download multiple albums from Qobuz

rip url https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/back-in-black-ac-dc/0886444889841 https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/blue-train-john-coltrane/0060253764852

Download the album and convert it to mp3

rip --codec mp3 url https://open.qobuz.com/album/0060253780968

To set the maximum quality, use the --quality option to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4:

Quality ID Audio Quality Available Sources
0 128 kbps MP3 or AAC Deezer, Tidal, SoundCloud (most of the time)
1 320 kbps MP3 or AAC Deezer, Tidal, Qobuz, SoundCloud (rarely)
2 16 bit, 44.1 kHz (CD) Deezer, Tidal, Qobuz, SoundCloud (rarely)
3 24 bit, ≤ 96 kHz Tidal (MQA), Qobuz, SoundCloud (rarely)
4 24 bit, ≤ 192 kHz Qobuz 
rip --quality 3 url https://tidal.com/browse/album/147569387

Using 4 is generally a waste of space. It is impossible for humans to perceive the difference between sampling rates higher than 44.1 kHz. It may be useful if you're processing/slowing down the audio.

Search for playlists matching rap on Tidal

rip search tidal playlist 'rap'

streamrip interactive search

Search for Rumours on Tidal, and download it

rip search tidal album 'fleetwood mac rumours'

Download a last.fm playlist using the lastfm command

rip lastfm https://www.last.fm/user/nathan3895/playlists/12126195

For more customization, see the config file

rip config open

If you're confused about anything, see the help pages. The main help pages can be accessed by typing rip by itself in the command line. The help pages for each command can be accessed with the --help flag. For example, to see the help page for the url command, type

rip url --help
