minus-squaretheshatterstone54@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 years agoDoes it automatically grab things like metadata (author, cover art, etc.) for you? And if it requires a flag, do you know it?
minus-squaregrte@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up15arrow-down1·2 years agoI don’t bother personally for the most part but it seems like you can do it via --embed-metadata, --parse-metadata, and --embed-thumbnail.
minus-squareprayer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 years agoUnless the artist only posts on YouTube, try soulseek. Most files have metadata already included, and if they don’t, you can just download from another user.
minus-squaretheshatterstone54@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoSoulseek. Added to my notes. Will check it out, thanks

minus-squareKallioapina@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·2 years agoHuh. Wonder why its so finicky. Oh well, maybe I’ll give it another go in the future.
