Download only one file at a time / Song download order #228

Open nethew opened 2 years ago

Right now the file download is started in the order the songs are listed on the page, but as they are downloaded simultaneously, they are not finished in order, which results in the file times not matching the order of the songs on the album. This is a problem when playing the album on devices that don't sort files by name, such as some TVs or MP3 players.

Could there please be a switch that would make the program download one file at a time? Or wait for the whole album to download and then save the files in the order on the album.

IMO this is out of scope.

You should modify the "Date modified" (I guess your TV / MP3 player sorts files by this metadata?) by yourself after the songs have been downloaded to your liking.

Ok, thank you, I understand. What about a "Download one file at a time" switch? This could perhaps be useful to more people to lower the bandwidth.

Otiel commented 2 years ago

Sure, I'll think about adding this option. I'd also like to add a setting to choose the max bandwidth available, but when I'll find the time.

Thank you. And also thank you very much for the application itself.
