# jamdl
A command-line tool to download music from various sources like Apple Music, SoundCloud, and others supported by yt-dlp.
## Description
`jamdl` is a wrapper around popular downloaders (`gamdl`, `scdl`, `yt-dlp`) that automates the process of downloading media and transferring it to a specified location, such as a local directory or a remote NAS via SCP.
## Prerequisites
You must have the following command-line tools installed and available in your system's `PATH`:
- `gamdl` (for Apple Music)
- `scdl` (for SoundCloud)
- `yt-dlp` (for other sources)
## Installation
You can install `jamdl` using `cargo`:
### From source
Clone this repository and install using cargo:
```bash
cargo install --path .
```
### From a git repository
You can also install it directly from a git repository:
```bash
cargo install --git https://git.shed.gay/chaos/jamdl
```
## Configuration
The first time you run `jamdl`, it will create a default configuration file at `~/.config/jamdl/config.toml`.
You **must** edit this file to match your setup before you can use `jamdl`.
The configuration file looks like this:
```toml
# Default configuration for jamdl
# Please edit these values to match your setup.
nas_host = "localhost"
nas_user = "your_ssh_user"
nas_path = "/path/on/nas"
cookies_file = "/path/to/your/apple-music-cookies-file.txt"
```
- `nas_host`: The hostname or IP address of your NAS. If set to `"localhost"`, files will be copied locally instead of using SCP.
- `nas_user`: The SSH username for your NAS.
- `nas_path`: The destination path on your NAS or local filesystem.
- `cookies_file`: The path to your Apple Music cookies file for `gamdl`.
## Usage
Once configured, you can download media by passing a URL to `jamdl`:
```bash
jamdl "https://music.apple.com/us/album/some-album/123456789"
```
