About OrpheusDL - TIDAL

OrpheusDL - TIDAL is a module written in Python which allows archiving from tidal.com for the modular music archival program.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to get a local copy of Orpheus up and running:

Prerequisites

Already have OrpheusDL installed

Installation

Go to your already cloned orpheusdl/ directory and run the following command:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Dniel97/orpheusdl-tidal.git modules/tidal

Execute:
```
python orpheus.py
```
Now the config/settings.json file should be updated with the TIDAL settings

Updating

Go to your already cloned orpheusdl/ directory and run the following command:
```
git -C modules/tidal pull
```
Execute to update your already existing TIDAL settings (if needed):
```
python orpheus.py
```
Now the config/settings.json file should be updated with the new updated TIDAL settings

Usage

Just call orpheus.py with any link you want to archive:

python orpheus.py https://tidal.com/browse/album/92265334

Configuration

You can customize every module from Orpheus individually and also set general/global settings which are active in every loaded module. You'll find the configuration file here: config/settings.json

Global

"global": {
    "general": {
        // ...
        "download_quality": "hifi"
    },
    "formatting": {
        "album_format": "{artist}/{name}{quality}{explicit}"
        // ...
    },
    "codecs": {
        "proprietary_codecs": false,
        "spatial_codecs": true
    },
    "covers": {
	    "main_resolution": 1400
	    // ...
    }
    // ...
}

`download_quality`

Choose one of the following settings:

Quality	Info
`hifi`	FLAC up to 192/24 or MQA (FLAC) up to 48/24 when `proprietary_codecs` is enabled
`lossless`	FLAC with 44.1/16 (is MQA if the album is available in MQA)
`high`	same as `medium`
`medium`	AAC 320 kbit/s
`low`	same as `minimum`
`minimum`	AAC 96 kbit/s

Note: HiRes will ALWAYS be preferred instead of MQA!

`album_format`

{quality} will add
```
 [Dolby Atmos]
 [360]
 [M]
```
depending on the album quality (with a space in at the first character)
{explicit} will add
```
 [E]
```
to the album path (with a space at the first character)

Option	Info
proprietary_codecs	Enables/Disables MQA (Tidal Masters) downloading when no HiRes track is available
spatial_codecs	Enables/Disables downloading of Dolby Atmos (EAC-3, AC-4) and Sony 360RA (MHA1)
main_resolution	Tidal only supports 80x80, 160x160, 320x320, 480x480, 640x640, 1080x1080 and 1280x1280px (1280px won't work for playlists). <br/>If you choose 1400 or anything above 1280, it will get the highest quality even if the highest is 4000x4000px. That's because Tidal doesn't provide the "origin artwork" size, so the module will just get the largest.

}

Option	Info
tv_token	Enter a valid TV client token
tv_secret	Enter a valid TV client secret for the `tv_token`
mobile_*	Enter a valid MOBILE client token for the desired session
enable_mobile	Enables a MOBILE session to archive Sony 360RA and Dolby AC-4 if available
prefer_ac4	If enabled and a mobile session is available (`enable_mobile` is set to `true`) this will ensure to get Dolby AC-4 on Dolby Atmos tracks
fix_mqa	If enabled it will download the MQA file before the actual track and analyze the FLAC file to extract the bitDepth and originalSampleRate. The tags `MQAENCODER`, `ENCODER` and `ORIGINALSAMPLERATE` are than added to the FLAC file in order to get properly detected by MQA enabled software such as Roon, UAPP or Audirvana.

NOTE: fix_mqa may be slower as a download without fix_mqa and could be incorrect.
