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.
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.
Install via go
command:
$ go get -u github.com/bogem/nehm
or you can download and install binary from latest release.
First of all, you should configure nehm:
-
Create a file
.nehmconfig
in your home directory -
Write in it configuration, i.e. set three variables in YAML format:
permalink
- permalink of your SoundCloud profile
(last word in your profile URL. More in FAQ)
dlFolder
- filesystem path to download folder, where will be downloaded all tracks.
By default, your tracks are being downloaded to your home directory
itunesPlaylist
- (optional, only for macOS) name of iTunes playlist, where will be added all tracks.
By default, your tracks are not being added to iTunes
permalink: bogem
dlFolder: /Users/bogem/Music
itunesPlaylist: iPod

Q: How can I add track to iTunes' music library, but not to any playlist?
A: It depends on language you're using on your Mac. The name of your iTunes' music library you can see here:
For example, english users should use nehm get -i Music
, russian users - nehm get -i Музыка
