ByteStash-Dev VS freyr-js

A bit of a back story. Before Rust, I was working on Byte Stash, a decentralized file system. The plan was to write a Proof of concept in JavaScript, then write the actual program in an ahead-of-time compiled language. The thing is I didn't know what language to use. Of course, C/C++ was the first option that came to mind, but the second thing that came to mind was the possible pitfalls that one could encounter while using it. So, I decided to search for another option.

Shhhh...

Easiest? Probably a tool like this https://github.com/miraclx/freyr-js I've used spotdl before which is basically the same thing but only works with Spotify (I think!). You should be able to just pass it a playlist URL and then it will search Youtube for the song and download it along with all the metadata.

Also, you may want to check out Freyrjs :)

this might work: https://github.com/miraclx/freyr-js

Around that time, I started working on Freya, a software that would pull all the metadata from various music providers. You paste a link it would grab the metadata of the track, playlist, or album and present it to you so that you'd be able to do anything with it. It was written in Nodejs, but I wanted to write it Rust, or at least create a GUI in Rust. I created a UI component library for it, but didn’t get to using it, I burnt out. But after taking a brief break from coding, I went back to learning Rust. I kept building things, not because I had to, but because it was an idea, and it was possible.

Freyr is where it's at anyway.
