I’ve been trying to configure OrpheusDL to rip high-quality audio from SoundCloud, but I’m running into issues and could use some help. My goal is to streamline the process of downloading tracks from SoundCloud using command-line tools like OrpheusDL.
I’ve used other rippers, such as Lucida, which does a fantastic job of ripping HQ audio (256kbps or 320kbps when available) with all the metadata intact. However, I want to transition to a more streamlined and customizable solution like OrpheusDL for better control and efficiency.
Here’s what I need:
- I don’t want to download anything below 192kbps, and ideally, I’d like 320kbps when available.
- I need as much metadata as possible (artist, title, album art, etc.) since I use the files in Rekordbox for DJing.
- If possible, I’d love guidance on automating the process to extract and use SoundCloud API access tokens or any tricks to unlock higher-quality streams via OrpheusDL.
Does anyone have experience configuring OrpheusDL for SoundCloud? Are there any additional dependencies, configurations, or scripts I should know about to optimize the process for HQ downloads?
Any guidance or even alternative workflows/tools (as long as they are command-line friendly) would be greatly appreciated!
