I would still like to hear if one of you who has solved the problem would make an instructional video - for those of us who are not so technically proficient
Karaoke-Version.com - Download script?
- Edited
prixmulti I can do that, I was waiting to see if the script's author was going to pick it up.
You need to have node.js installed, so.. if you do not have it currently installed, please do that first. There are videos on youtube for that step if you need it.
You can check to see if you have it installed by opening the terminal and typing
node --version
Ray9s Dude I've downloaded like 400 songs with individual stems over the years before I found this! If only I had it way back LOL!
OK.. I made a simple video.. it is uploading now, I have to run.. so here is the link I expect it to be live in a half hour or so. https://youtu.be/GKXxKXdYYtQ

I don't have any experience with Java script. When I downloaded and attempted to install Node 16+, my Malwarebytes Protection blocked part of the installation. The block was an "exploit.payloadprocessblock". Is this something I should be worried about or is it safe to allow it?
I can't get the script to work either, but I have a different issue where it runs, logs into the website, finds the song then appears to log me out and add the file to my basket and just sits there. Ive tried saving my password and user in chromium (as well as the env file, but it can't be that, as it initially logs in ok)/ .. any ideas?
Great automation idea but I can see endless hours trying to figure out how to install and run it. So I'm leaving it alone, and hoping that Karaoke-Version will upgrade their process to all multiple simultaneous downloads. One file at a time ain't fast, but it works.
What OS are you using? I agree that setting up a dev environment can be a challenge.
You should be able to simple run all the steps that I posted in the video.
Something tells me that KV are going to implement this download method themselves in the near future
They used to allow you to do multi track downloading - at a premium price. It used to be under the license pricing where you also get the file downloads as WAV etc, but I see they have removed the multitrack options from there now - perhaps they are getting ready to offer the option for free (or a price)
I filled out that survey too.
When I download the stems individually, I prefer to have them panned to the right with the click panned to the left. It makes it easier to chop them up in Ableton if I want to customize intros or outros especially. The stems are then exported to mono mp3s for use in ST3.
I'm guessing that the way I like my raw stems won't be an option if/when they implement multitrack downloading. I can hope though.
LeesKeys Well, I am not going to be the one to tell you it's ok to bypass your malware detection. It may be worth looking into Node support and seeing if it is a common issue, and whether they suggest subverting the warning.
Riff you could alter the source code to make that change before downloading.
If you have a large number of song you want to do this with, it might be worth it to edit the code.
Is the script still maintained? As I said above, it appears to be broken at present. Would be nice to have it working and slowly download all my files as multis.
Thanks
Dave
DaveT I don't know that it is being maintained, but I just used it the other day and it worked.
are you on windows or mac?
have you tried starting over with a fresh directory and cloning the repo?
FredAnderson Yes mate -- tried wiping and re cloning etc etc. As I said the script runs, opens Chromium, logs me into KV website (can see my details ok at the top of the screen), then when it goes to the song ive already purchased, it adds it to my basket and shows me as logged out. It then sits there till it times out. Im on Mac Sonoma. Thanks
