2. Enter your token genius and spotify in the parameters
3. Enter your soundcloud or youtube link the textbar (do not forget to erase the Video URL part)

5. Verify the metadata and edit if needed. Note that if the metadata are completly wrong you can research again by editing the title and artist field and pressing the Retry button.

Useful infos

• F_streaming starts by downloading all the metadata of all the song at first and then display the metadata window so it might be a bit long to start. A good way to see if the data are still loading is to look at either the Download button if you clicked it or if the URL is still blinking.

• The songs can be downloaded into mp3, AAC (.m4a) and ogg but right now only the mp3 will have the metadata tagged.

• The cover art is downloaded in the album directory but also tagged to the mp3

• Right now, the song can only be downloaded in the path specified in the parameters.json, however the root of the path is the directory of the executable file/main.py.

• There is a black list of words for Genius API researches, it can be edited.

Notable bugs

• Sometimes Genius API times out, just try once again until it works.

Methods

F_streaming collects metadata from Genius thanks to lyricsgenius python library and research metadata from Youtube and Soundcloud thanks to Youtube-dl python library. Genres are collected thanks to Spotipy python library. Then ffmpeg is used to download and convert.
