Designers.MX CLI downloader/player

version 0.2

Right now it depends on OSX, will not run on anything else as it is.

What it does

1. Fetches the album names on the front page of Designers.MX
2. Asks you to pick one
3. Downloads it and plays it

What it doesn't do (yet)

• Won't display the actual album names (only the path)
• Won't let you pause/play and skip songs (ctrl-C to do that)
• Might leave the music playing after you interrupt the script (use killall afplay to stop the music)
• Won't import anything in iTunes
• Won't create a playlist (.m3u file)

Installation

1. Download the code from the big Download button on top.
2. Un-zip the file.
3. Run it like as described below.

Usage

Simplest usage (it will download a list of albums and ask which one to play):

./listen.rb

Download and play a specific album:

./listen.rb album_name

More options:

Displays all the available options and defaults:

./listen.rb --help

Sets the volume to 20%:

./listen.rb --volume 20

Sets the base directory where all mp3s are going to be downloaded:

./listen.rb --dir ~/Music/Designer.MX

Download music but don't play:

./listen.rb --no-play

Play music but don't download (only useful on downloaded albums):

./listen.rb --no-download

Command-line dependencies

• wget - Downloads the mp3s. I am not sure but I guess this is installed by default.
• afplay - Plays music. This is installed by default on OSX.
• growlnotify (optional) - Informs you of what's happening. You will find it in the main .dmg of Growl.
