This project was born from a need to download my library from iBroadcast onto my linux machine. Only the OSX and Windows app support this functionality. This project uses the existing ibroadcast-python library and extends the iBroadcast class to add a download_library method.
In addition to using this as a Python library, it also has a small CLI to help automate doing library downloads.
This project can be used as both a Python library and CLI.
pipx is available for Linux, OSX, and Windows. Follow the install instructions first for pipx then the following:
pipx install ibroadcast-dl
To use the CLI, run the ibroadcast-dl command:
ibroadcast-dl --username ibroadcast@email.tld ~/Music/This will open a progress bar - if your library is large it'll take several hours to sync. If you connection is slow try turing down the number of tracks it downloads at a time (defaults 50) to something around 10:
ibroadcast-dl -u ibroadcast@email.tld -x 10 ~/Music/The module has the same method sigrnatures and usage as the ibroadcast-python library with the addition of a download_library method.
>>> import ibroadcastdl
>>> ib = ibroadcastdl.iBroadcastDL("email", "password")
>>> download_dir = "./Music"
>>> offset = 0
>>> while offset < len(ib.tracks):
... ib.download_library(offset, 50, download_dir)
... offset = offset + 50This will download the entire library 50 tracks at a time.
