Also this year I’ll attend the Linux day (a day dedicated to Gnu/Linux  and FLOSS that occurs every year in Italy) organized by my LUG. Guess what I’ll be talking about… ;)

While organizing the event somebody proposed to setup a local server with some music released under CC license. He suggested to download some albums from Jamendo (due to network issues we won’t be able to provide direct access to the website).

Since nobody wanted to download the albums by hand, last night I wrote a small ruby program that does the dirty job.

Requirements:

Ruby and json gem have to be installed on you machine.

Usage:

Help:

./jamendo_downloader.rb –help

Download the top 10 rock albums:

./jamendo_downloader.rb -g rock -t 10

Have fun

I think there’s nothing more to say… enjoy my jamendo_downloader

    Hy,

    not realy good, think about, if MIndustry make more klicks and so for bad
    peases of music’s so be the best one the bad one’s and go to download,
    it’s schold give a Jamendoreader who check the links of sounds
    (configuration if mp3 or ogg and direcktdownload or send to torrent (shold get a filter who check’s the torrent’s))
    and then, like akregator, check it every new sound and album’s to direckt klicking to hear and a second
    click to download on a folder who it’s configured, it shold hear it every time to controling what’s for musik
    it is and honor so the Musician’s to enabling direcktly download or not download, like ” be or not to be”
    this is the question, que by point’s or not download/delete by negative points *smile*
    So can enabling to filter by humans to be the sound oky or not oky.. it is a must be !
    so my opinion… and i hope i be on the right page ;)

    best regards to the programmes !
