path setting where downloads should be saved #238

Closed tivoo closed 4 years ago

tivoo commented 4 years ago

So I am trying to set a custom path to download the files in, but it returns an error somehow:

(base) MacBook-Pro-van-Timo:~ tivoo$ soundscrape -p Users/tivoo/Music/DJ MUSIC Problem downloading [404]: Item Not Found

Same for:

(base) MacBook-Pro-van-Timo:~ tivoo$ soundscrape --path Users/tivoo/Music/DJ MUSIC Problem downloading [404]: Item Not Found

What am I not seeing?

Does it work if you don't specify a custom path? The 404 makes me think it's an issue with the URL.

Having similar issue here, though instead of 404, I get this error:

soundscrape -p /Users/James/Downloads soundscrape: error: Please supply an artist's username or URL!

also tried: soundscrape -p Users/James/Downloads soundscrape -p /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/James/Downloads soundscrape -p Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/James/Downloads

All give an error.

You need to specify a username from SoundCloud, for example:

soundscrape kapslap -p /Users/James/Downloads

or

soundscrape https://soundcloud.com/kapslap -p /Users/James/Downloads

Is it possible to set it as a default? Or do I need to set it as that path each time?

You need to set that each time. There is a default, which is the current directory you're running this from.
