# Download a single track
track_id = "12345678"
client.download_track(track_id)
# Download an entire album
album_id = "87654321"
client.download_album(album_id)
# Download a playlist
playlist_id = "11223344"

Competitor Comparisons
A scriptable music downloader for Qobuz, Tidal, SoundCloud, and Deezer
Pros of streamrip
- Supports multiple streaming services (Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, SoundCloud)
- Offers a command-line interface for easier automation and scripting
- Provides more advanced features like playlist syncing and metadata editing
Cons of streamrip
- May have a steeper learning curve due to its command-line nature
- Potentially less user-friendly for those who prefer graphical interfaces
- Requires more setup and configuration compared to Tidal-Media-Downloader
Code Comparison
Tidal-Media-Downloader:
def start(argv=None):
args = parse_args(argv)
create_logfile(args.logfile)
SETTINGS.read(args.config)
run(args)
streamrip:
def main():
args = parse_args()
config = load_config()
setup_logging(args.verbose)
run_command(args, config)
Both projects use similar structures for their main entry points, parsing arguments and loading configurations. However, streamrip's code appears to be more modular and follows a more modern Python style. Tidal-Media-Downloader's code is more focused on Tidal-specific functionality, while streamrip's design allows for multiple service integrations.
