==== Description: ====
Downloads all songs from a given artist that can be found on youtube.

Typical usage:
* Substitute to Service as a Software Substitute (SaaSS) like Spotify.
* Download audio files used for streaming media servers like Icecast, without
getting into legal trouble.

It is a set of BASH scripts that allow the user to download bulk of audio
files, legally, gratis, and in free formats, from youtube.com.

The user configure which artists that the program should search. Then the
artists discography are downloaded from discogs.com. The JSON data is
extracted with parseJSON-sh which then is compiled into a uniqe list of all
songs the artist have released.

This list is used by a second script, a youtube-dl plugin that first gather
the youtube video IDs for the songs. Then the plugin download the video files
that contain these songs if the meta data match the requirements in the
configuration. The audio is then extracted from the video files to OGG format
(or other free formats) with youtube-dl which then insert its meta data with
vorbiscomment. It puts things like like ratio in the Track.

I invented this idea by myself and have been using the software for about 6
months. It is one of the best software hacks I've ever done and yet it is so
simple! Its a great substitute to SaaSS like Spotify and the best thing is
that you do not need to be connected to the internet to listen to music.

#### David's 10th free software anniversary ###
Celebrate with me. 10 years ago, I started as a free software activist. This
is my gift to you, I want you to enjoy your music wherever you go! d[-_-]b
