- Automatically embed metadata tags (artist, album, title, artwork, etc.)
- Fetch and tag songs with **BPM**, **musical key**, and **genre**
- Skip already-downloaded files using hashes and metadata
- Support Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Provide a simple, easy-to-use CLI
## Installation
To install **GoDeez**, download the latest binary for your platform from the [Releases](https://github.com/mathismqn/godeez/releases) page.
1. Go to the [Releases](https://github.com/mathismqn/godeez/releases) page.
2. Download the appropriate binary for your operating system and architecture, named `godeez_<version>_<os>_<arch>`.
3. (Optional) Move the binary to a directory included in `$PATH` for easier access.
Example (Linux/macOS):
```bash
# Make it executable and move it to /usr/local/bin for access from anywhere
chmod +x godeez_1.5.0_linux_amd64
mv godeez_1.5.0_linux_amd64 /usr/local/bin/godeez
```
Every release also ships a `checksums.txt`, so you can verify a download:
```bash
sha256sum -c checksums.txt --ignore-missing
```
### macOS
The macOS binaries are not signed with an Apple Developer certificate, so
Gatekeeper blocks them the first time. Clear the quarantine flag once:
```bash
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/godeez
```
## Updating
**GoDeez** can replace itself with the latest release:
```bash
# See whether a new version exists
godeez update --check
# Download, verify, and install it
godeez update
```
The new binary is verified against the release's published SHA256 checksum
before it replaces the current one. If **GoDeez** lives in a directory you do
not own (such as `/usr/local/bin` on some systems), run `sudo godeez update`.
To disable the notice about new versions:
```bash
export GODEEZ_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1
```
To see what you are running:
```bash
godeez version
```
## Configuration
**GoDeez** requires a Deezer ARL cookie for authentication. Set it as an environment variable:
```bash
export DEEZER_ARL="your_arl_cookie_here"
```
To make it persistent, add the line above to your shell profile (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, etc.).
### How to retrieve your ARL cookie
1. Open your browser and log in to your [Deezer](https://www.deezer.com) account.
2. Open the Developer Tools (right-click on the page and select “Inspect” or press F12).
3. Navigate to the **Application** tab (Chrome/Edge) or **Storage** tab (Firefox).
4. In the left panel, look for **Cookies** and select `https://www.deezer.com`.
5. Find the `arl` cookie and copy its value.
> **Note:** The ARL cookie may expire after some time. If you get authentication errors, retrieve a fresh cookie using the steps above.
### Output directory
Downloaded files are saved to `~/Music/GoDeez`. The download database (`.tracks.db`) is stored alongside your music in the output directory.
> **Upgrading from v1.3.0?** The `~/.godeez` directory and `config.toml` are no longer used. Set the `DEEZER_ARL` environment variable instead. Your existing database will be migrated automatically on first run.
