SoundCloud Downloader BASH Script

SoundCloud allows artists and producers to upload and promote music across the internet.

This article provides a Linux based script which downloads all tracks for a given artist.

SCRIPT

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
        echo "Usage: `basename $0` [URL]";
        echo
        echo "Example:"
        echo "   `basename $0` http://soundcloud.com/disco-dave";
        exit

echo "[*] Processing ..."

        songs=`echo "${page}" | grep 'streamUrl' | tr '"' "\n" | grep 'http://media.soundcloud.com/stream/'`;
        titles=`echo "${page}" | grep 'title":"' | tr ',' "\n" | grep 'title' | cut -d '"' -f 4 | sed 's/\// vs /g'`

        x=$(( $x + 1 ))
done

if [ -z "${songs2}" ]; then
        echo "No song(s) found at this url.";
        exit;
fi

songcount=$((`echo "$songs2" | wc -l` - 1))

echo "[*] Found $songcount songs!";

for (( songid=1; songid <= $songcount; songid++ ))
do

        wget -L `echo "${songs2}" | sed -n "${songid}"p` -q --user-agent='Mozilla/5.0' -O "`echo $title`.mp3";
