Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Overview

What freyr does

Depending on the URLs you provide freyr, it will;

  1. Extract track metadata (title, album, artist, etc.) from the streaming service (Spotify if you provide a Spotify URL).
  2. Then, it queries sources (e.g. YouTube), classifies the results to find you the best sounding, most accurate audio and downloads that in the raw format.
  3. Next, it processes each track, encoding them in an Apple AAC format (.m4a file extension) at a default bitrate of 320kbps.
  4. Then, it embeds all the metadata and the album art into each track.
  5. And finally, it organizes all the files into a structured library (example).

Metadata Availability

Here's a list of the metadata that freyr can extract from each streaming service:

| Meta | Spotify | Apple Music | Deezer | | :------------: | :-----: | :---------: | :----: | | Title | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | Artist | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | Composer | ✗ | ✔ | ✔ | | Album | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | Genre | ✗ | ✔ | ✔ | | Track Number | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | Disk Number | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | Release Date | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | Rating | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | Album Artist | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | ISRC | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | Label | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | Copyright | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | | Cover Art | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |

Installation

Manually

Hey there, you might want to consider a cleaner and straight-forward installation method, without having to manually setup the requirements. If so, checkout the Docker installation method

Download for your individual platforms here https://www.python.org/downloads/

Linux: (check individual package managers)

  • Debian: sudo apt-get install python3.6
  • Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S python
  • Android (Termux): apt install python
  • Alpine Linux: sudo apk add python3

Download for your individual platforms here https://nodejs.org/en/download/

macOS + Linux: nvm recommended.

# install node with this nvm command
# freyr works with a minimum of v16
$ nvm install --lts
  • Android (Termux): apt install nodejs
  • Alpine Linux: sudo apk add nodejs

First, download the latest release for your individual platforms here https://github.com/miraclx/atomicparsley/releases/latest

Then;

  • Windows:
    • unzip and place the AtomicParsley.exe in your PATH.
    • or the bins/windows folder of this project directory. Create the folder(s) if they don't exist.
  • Linux + macOS:
    • unzip and place the AtomicParsley in your PATH.
    • or the bins/posix folder of this project directory. Create the folder(s) if they don't exist.
  • Alternatively:
    • Debian: sudo apt-get install atomicparsley
    • Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S atomicparsley
    • Android (Termux): apt install atomicparsley
    • Build from source: See wez/AtomicParsley

Please note that YouTube Music must be available in your region for freyr to successfully work, this is because freyr sources raw audio from YouTube Music.


First start by ensuring all requirements listed above are satisfied. Thereafter, you can use either of these options to install freyr:

  • NPM: npm install -g freyr

  • Yarn: yarn global add freyr

  • git clone https://github.com/miraclx/freyr-js.git freyr
    cd freyr

    | % | NPM | Yarn | | ----------------- | ------------- | -------------- | | pull dependencies | npm install | yarn install | | install globally | npm link | yarn link |

Docker

For convenience, we provide officially prebuilt images (automated builds from this repository) so you can skip the setup and build process and get right into it.

Image Size: Docker Image Size

Usage (docker)

docker run -it --rm -v $PWD:/data freyrcli/freyrjs [options, arguments and queries...]

You can also create a handy alias to skip remembering that whole line everytime

alias freyr='docker run -it --rm -v $PWD:/data freyrcli/freyrjs'

The -v $PWD:/data part sets the working directory for freyr to the current working directory. For example, you can use -v ~/Music/freyr:/data to set the work directory and consequently, default save location to ~/Music/freyr.

Please ensure the folder on the host already exists, create it if not. Otherwise, docker autocreates the folder as root and that causes unpleasant Permission Denied issues when you run freyr.

Batch downloads

via Arguments

Queries can be collated to be processed at once.

freyr query1 query2 ... queryN
via Batch File

Queries can be batched into a file and loaded all at once with the -i, --input <FILE> flag. Queries should be on separate lines.

Lines starting with a # are treated as comments and ignored. comments can also be inlined with everything following the # character ignored.

# ./queue.txt

# Hailee Steinfeld
https://open.spotify.com/track/5Gu0PDLN4YJeW75PpBSg9p # (track) Let Me Go
https://open.spotify.com/track/7GCVboEDzfL3NKp1NrAgHR # (track) Wrong Direction

# (album) Rina Sawayama
https://open.spotify.com/album/3stadz88XVpHcXnVYMHc4J
freyr -i ./queue.txt

Use the --help flag to see full usage documentation.

URIs

Services can be queried with short URIs containing the type and ID for the resource.

Use the urify subcommand to parse betweeen URIs and its equivalent URL representation, and vice-versa. Creating freyr-compatible queue output.

Configuration

Persistent configuration such as authentication keys and their validity period are stored within a session specific configuration file.

This configuration file resides within the user config directory per-platform.

  • $HOME/.config/FreyrCLI/d3fault.x4p for Linux.
  • $HOME/Library/Preferences/FreyrCLI/d3fault.x4p for macOS.

All defaults are defined in the conf.json file at the root of the project. This file should be of JSON format and is to be structured as such.

Service Configuration

The conf.json file already includes some API tokens for service authentication and should work right out of the box. [See Project specific configuration]

  • spotify: <object>
    • clientId: <string>
    • clientSecret: <string>
    • refreshToken: <string>

Spotify requires a clientId and a clientSecret that can be gotten from their developer dashboard.

If you wish to create and use custom keys, [See Spotify API Authorization].

An optional refreshToken option can be defined which can be used to authenticate a session without necessarily requesting explicit permissions. The refreshToken is already bound to a pre-authenticated account.

An invalid refreshToken, when specified, would fallback to requesting account access which in-turn would request re-authentication of the users' account.

Spotify API Authorization

  1. Sign in to the Spotify Dashboard
  2. Click CREATE A CLIENT ID and create an app
  3. Now click Edit Settings
  4. Add http://localhost:36346/callback to the Redirect URIs
  5. Include the clientId and the clientSecret from the dashboard in the spotify object that is a property of the services object of the conf.json file. [See Configuration]
  6. You are now ready to authenticate with Spotify!
  • apple_music: <object>
    • storefront: <string>
    • developerToken: <string>

Freyr would automatically fetch a developer token from the Apple Music site, which should suffice for all intents and purposes. But if you prefer to use a custom developer token, please refer to the Apple Music documentation on this topic.

The storefront option defines the default storefront to be used in the absence of a specification.

Apple Music API Authorization

[See Apple Music API: Getting Keys and Creating Tokens]

After successfully acquiring the developer token, include the developerToken to the apple_music object that's a property of the services object in the conf.json file. [See Configuration]

An expired developer token in the conf.json would make freyr fallback to fetching it from the Apple Music site.

  • deezer: <object>
    • retries: <number>

Authentication unrequired. API is freely accessible.

Because of the 50 requests / 5 seconds limit enforced on an IP-basis for Deezer's API [See #32], occasionally a Quota limit exceeded error would be thrown by the API server.

To combat this, freyr employs request batching, managed delays and finally, retries when things go awry.

You can configure how many retries you want freyr to make before accepting failure.

Return Codes

  • 0: OK
  • 1: Invalid query
  • 2: Invalid flag value
  • 3: Invalid / Inexistent configuration file
  • 4: Network error
  • 5: Error with working directory
  • 6: Failed to initialize a freyr instance
  • 7: An error occurred checking dependency paths

FilterRules

Filter rules each to be matched against the tracks involved in any operation.

Development

Manually Building

Feel free to clone and use in adherance to the license. Pull requests are very much welcome.

git clone https://github.com/miraclx/freyr-js.git freyr
cd freyr
  • If using NPM:

    npm install
    
    # to have access to the freyr command globally
    npm link
  • If using Yarn:

    yarn install
    
    # to have access to the freyr command globally
    yarn link

Testing

Freyr comes bundled with a lightweight test suite. See TEST.md for instructions on how to run it.

Docker Development

With docker, you can drop into a sandbox that has all the dependencies you need. Without needing to mess around with your host system or install any weird dependencies.

First, you need to either build a local docker image or submit a PR and use the corresponding auto-generated image.

Building A Local Image

The default provided Dockerfile builds minimal alpine images. Average build network usage is ~ 80 MB and disk usage is ~ 180 MB.

git clone https://github.com/miraclx/freyr-js.git freyr
cd freyr
docker build -t freyr-dev .

Working With Remote Images

An alternative to building the docker image locally is to use a remote image. By default, all PRs submitted to this repository get an equivalently tagged docker image for testing.

For example, the PR #214 has a docker image called freyrcli/freyrjs-git:pr-214. And it stays updated with the current state of the branch.

You can then pull the development image for use locally.

docker pull freyrcli/freyrjs-git:pr-214

Once you have a built development image locally, you're ready to go. You can drop into the container by explicitly defining the entrypoint

docker run -it --entrypoint bash freyr-dev

# Alternatively, create a handy alias
alias freyrsh='docker run -it --entrypoint bash freyr-dev'

*: don't forget to replace freyr-dev with the appropriate image name if you pulled one of the auto-generated remote images.

Optionally, you can use these interesting flags to customize the experience.

  • -h freyr-dev sets the container hostname to freyr-dev
  • -m 1G sets the container memory limit
  • -v $PWD:/data mounts the current working directory to /data within the container.
  • --cpus 2 limits the container to using 2 CPU cores

The freyr source would be available in the /freyr directory within the container along with a globally registered command freyr for calling the script.
