Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Yt-dlp is the gold standard for that.

Tag cleanup and album art are their own beast that you’ll wanna tackle post-download, but beets is another gold standard tool that can help with that layer.

Yeah I am using yt-dlp to download the music, and I can set that on a cronjob no problem.
I am specifically asking for better downloading (I don't want just the raw YouTube title most of the time), album art, and ID3 tagging. But that beets.io thing looks super cool! I might integrate that into my existing python scripting instead of trying to build it all out myself
Download with yt-dlp. All of it. Even into a single folder if that's easier.
Then run it all through Picard and that'll do everything else for you - albumart, metadata, folders, filenames, the lot.
Anything that Picard doesn't know about, enter it into the MusicBrainz db to give back to the community.
Done.
