Muzlib

Muzlib is a Python script that allows you to create your own music library. Music is downloaded from YouTube, and music tags are constructed using data from YouTube, Lrclib, NetEase.

Instalation

Ensure that you have installed FFmpeg.

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install muzlib

Usage

You can simply download discography of artist (YouTube API by default).

This script creates a simple database (.muzlib/db.json) to track downloaded tracks, allowing you to update an artist's discography without re-downloading existing tracks.

Available clases

There is only one (for now ) classe that can be used:

1. muzlib(library_path: str, skip_downloaded=False): library class that uses YouTube Music metadata (100% accuracy, but sometimes poor quality metadata)

Available methods

Downloading artist's discography

Muzlib.download_artist_discography(artist_name: str, download_top_result=False)

• artist_name: Name of artist as a string.
• download_top_result: If set to True, choose the first matching artist automatically. By default (False), it will prompt you to confirm if the match is correct.

Downloading album

Muzlib.download_album_by_name(search_term: str, download_top_result=False)

• search_term: The search query as a string. It is recommended to use the format: "artist1, artist2 - album_name".
• download_top_result: If set to True, downloads the first matching result automatically. By default (False), it will prompt you to confirm if the match is correct.

Download track

Muzlib.download_track_by_name(search_term: str, download_top_result=False)

• search_term: The search query as a string. It is recommended to use the format: "artist1, artist2 - track_name".
• download_top_result: If set to True, downloads the first matching result automatically. By default (False), it will prompt you to confirm if the match is correct.

Backup library

Muzlib.backup_library() -> str

This function creates backup of library (even with user-changed tags). Creates file .muzlib/muzlib_backup_***.json and returns path to it.

Restore library

This function downloads track and set metadata from bacup file.

Muzlib.backup_library(backup_filepath: str)

• backup_filepath: path of the file created by Muzlib.backup_library().

Example of use

You can use Muzlib/`` class in source code this way

import muzlib
ml = muzlib.Muzlib("Music")
ml.download_track_by_name("Ludwig Göransson - Can You Hear The Music")
ml.download_track_by_name("Ludwig Göransson - Destroyer Of Worlds", download_top_result=True)
# ml.download_artist_discography("Ludwig Göransson") 
backup_path = ml.backup_library()

ml2 = muzlib.Muzlib("Music2")
ml2.restore_library(backup_path)

After running this code, the Music and Music2 folders will be identical, each containing two tracks by Ludwig Göransson.
