minus-squaretheshatterstone54@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up10·3 months 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-down1·3 months 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-up9·3 months 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-squareKallioapina@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 months agoHuh. Wonder why its so finicky. Oh well, maybe I’ll give it another go in the future.
