Put `ptgdp` somewhere in `$PATH` and install youtube-dl. Additionally, you need some implementation of `pgrep`, which is probably already on your system, and Bash.
Move `ptgdp.conf` from this repo to `~/.config/ptgdp.conf` and change the values as you see fit. Alternatively, invoke `ptgdp` with `-c` and point it at your config file.
*`ytsearch:` is only the *default* search. If a line is prefixed with another search type (ex. `scsearch:dagoth ur fanfiction`), youtube-dl will respect it.
* You can comment a playlist file by prefixing the line with `#`.
## FAQ
**Q**: Why?
**A**: I wanted to kick my dependence on Spotify while still having access to easy music. At first I just used YouTube, but after fighting their horrid suggestions system, I decided it probably wouldn't be too hard to use `youtube-dl` to wrap it. Thus this tool was born.
Simple plaintext playlist files and a rofi script to queue them up with only a couple keystrokes seemed like a convenient enough implementation to me.
**Q**: Holy fuck ow my disk space
**A**: Songs are stored in ~/Music/PTGDP Songs. Clean it up if it gets too big; they'll be redownloaded as needed. Songs are cached both for offline usage and because YouTube searches aren't exactly the most consistent things over time.
On the bright side, though, youtube-dl downloads most songs in Opus, which has insane quality per byte.
**Q**: Why is your tool downloading the shitty "w/ lyrics" versions of songs with ass quality?
**A**: Because YouTube searches suck. That being said, they will also parse out descriptions, so you can stick the copyright text or something in your search query. Alternatively, find a good video and just stick the URL in your playlist.
* Because I haven't quite figured out how to into mpd sockets, this tool assumes that `$XDG_MUSIC_DIR` (`~/Music`) is the root of your library when using the mpd backend.
