About OrpheusDL

OrpheusDL is a modular music archival tool written in Python which allows archiving from multiple different services.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to get a local copy of Orpheus up and running:

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+ (due to the requirement of dataclasses), though Python 3.9 is highly recommended

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/OrfiTeam/OrpheusDL.git && cd OrpheusDL

2. Install all requirements

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the program at least once, or use this command to create the settings file

   python3 orpheus.py settings refresh

4. Enter your credentials in config/settings.json

Usage

Just call orpheus.py with any link you want to archive, for example Qobuz:

python3 orpheus.py https://open.qobuz.com/album/c9wsrrjh49ftb

Alternatively do a search (luckysearch to automatically select the first option):

python3 orpheus.py search qobuz track darkside alan walker

Or if you have the ID of what you want to download, use:

python3 orpheus.py download qobuz track 52151405

Configuration

You can customize every module from Orpheus individually and also set general/global settings which are active in every loaded module. You'll find the configuration file here: config/settings.json

Global/General

{
    "download_path": "./downloads/",
    "download_quality": "hifi",
    "search_limit": 10
}

download_path: Set the absolute or relative output path with / as the delimiter

download_quality: Choose one of the following settings:

• "hifi": FLAC higher than 44.1/16 if available
• "lossless": FLAC with 44.1/16 if available
• "high": lossy codecs such as MP3, AAC, ... in a higher bitrate
• "medium": lossy codecs such as MP3, AAC, ... in a medium bitrate
• "low": lossy codecs such as MP3, AAC, ... in a lower bitrate

NOTE: The download_quality really depends on the used modules, so check out the modules README.md

search_limit: How many search results are shown

Global/Formatting:

{
    "album_format": "{name}{explicit}",
    "playlist_format": "{name}{explicit}",
    "track_filename_format": "{track_number}. {name}",
    "single_full_path_format": "{name}",
    "enable_zfill": true,
    "force_album_format": false
}

track_filename_format: How tracks are formatted in albums and playlists. The relevant extension is appended to the end.

album_format, playlist_format, artist_format: Base directories for their respective formats - tracks and cover art are stored here. May have slashes in it, for instance {artist}/{album}.

single_full_path_format: How singles are handled, which is separate to how the above work. Instead, this has both the folder's name and the track's name.

enable_zfill: Enables zero padding for track_number, total_tracks, disc_number, total_discs if the corresponding number has more than 2 digits

force_album_format: Forces the album_format for tracks instead of the single_full_path_format and also uses album_format in the playlist_format folder

Format variables

track_filename_format variables are {name}, {album}, {album_artist}, {album_id}, {track_number}, {total_tracks}, {disc_number}, {total_discs}, {release_date}, {release_year}, {artist_id}, {isrc}, {upc}, {explicit}, {copyright}, {codec}, {sample_rate}, {bit_depth}.

album_format variables are {name}, {id}, {artist}, {artist_id}, {release_year}, {upc}, {explicit}, {quality}, {artist_initials}.

playlist_format variables are {name}, {creator}, {tracks}, {release_year}, {explicit}, {creator_id}

• {quality} will add

   [Dolby Atmos]
   [96kHz 24bit]
   [M]
  

to the corresponding path (depending on the module)

• {explicit} will add

   [E]
  

  to the corresponding path

Global/Covers

{
    "embed_cover": true,
    "main_compression": "high",
    "main_resolution": 1400,
    "save_external": false,
    "external_format": "png",
    "external_compression": "low",
    "external_resolution": 3000,
    "save_animated_cover": true
}

Option	Info
embed_cover	Enable it to embed the album cover inside every track
main_compression	Compression of the main cover
main_resolution	Resolution (in pixels) of the cover of the module used
save_external	Enable it to save the cover from a third party cover module
external_format	Format of the third party cover, supported values: jpg, png, webp
external_compression	Compression of the third party cover, supported values: low, high
external_resolution	Resolution (in pixels) of the third party cover
save_animated_cover	Enable saving the animated cover when supported from the module (often in MPEG-4 format)

Global/Codecs

{
    "proprietary_codecs": false,
    "spatial_codecs": true
}

proprietary_codecs: Enable it to allow MQA, E-AC-3 JOC or AC-4 IMS

spatial_codecs: Enable it to allow MPEG-H 3D, E-AC-3 JOC or AC-4 IMS

Note: spatial_codecs has priority over proprietary_codecs when deciding if a codec is enabled

Global/Module_defaults

{
    "lyrics": "default",
    "covers": "default",
    "credits": "default"
}

Change default to the module name under /modules in order to retrieve lyrics, covers or credits from the selected module

Global/Lyrics

{
    "embed_lyrics": true,
    "embed_synced_lyrics": false,
    "save_synced_lyrics": true
}

Option	Info
embed_lyrics	Embeds the (unsynced) lyrics inside every track
embed_synced_lyrics	Embeds the synced lyrics inside every track (needs embed_lyrics to be enabled) (required for Roon)
save_synced_lyrics	Saves the synced lyrics inside a .lrc file in the same directory as the track with the same track_format variables
