CLUSTER TRACKS-COMMAND-DOWNLOADS · 23 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-11-24
CLI music downloaders
This cluster comprises command-line tools that download music from streaming services and archives (e.g., Tidal, Qobuz, SoundCloud, YouTube), often embedding metadata tags, alongside adjacent utilities for Spotify patching, playlist splitting, or Discogs collection management. Dated entries appear sporadically from 2012-03 through 2026-03, with no consistent trend discernible from the monthly counts. Traction leaders are spicetify-autopatch and TrackSnip (both 4 stars), while moddownloaderr has 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 3 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
