The project is deprecated
Main reasons of deprecation:
- SoundCloud constantly adding changes to API that complicates development of this app;
- After 6 years of using iTunes, I switched to Spotify. In macOS Catalina iTunes was removed and Apple Music was added. Apple Music on Mac worked really badly in that moment. Actually I like Spotify and almost glad with it.
Description
nehm is a console tool written in Go. It can download your likes and search tracks from SoundCloud. All downloaded tracks are ID3 tagged.
nehm wasn't tested on Windows machine, so it can be very buggy on it. I'll be very thankful, if you will report any bug.
If you have ideas to improve nehm, issues and pull requests are always welcome! Also, if you have difficulties with installation/configuration/usage of nehm, don't hesitate to write an issue. I will answer as soon as possible.
