MSRD, a 3rd-party tool to download the Arknights OST from the official MSR website

Requirements

• Python (3.10.6 tested, other versions probably work just as fine)
• FFmpeg, installed and in system PATH

If you have already installed Python and FFmpeg skip to the setup

Install Python

Download python 3.10.6 here and run the installer.

! Make sure to check the "Add to PATH" checkbox

Install FFmpeg

Follow for example these instructions on how to set up FFmpeg on your system.

Set-up

1. Download and extract the zip file
2. Go into the MSRD folder and execute the setup.bat file (or follow the contributing instructions 3 to 5)
3. Close the window

Use it

1. Run msrd.bat this will open a new console in which you can use the downloader.
2. To see the commands type python msrd.py --help and run it. This will show a small help menu.

Example commands are

• python msrd.py download 232244 953983 Download the song with the ID 232244 and 953983
• python msrd.py download 953986 --m4a Download the song with the ID 953986 as m4a
• python msrd.py download -a -t 2 Download all songs with two threads.
• python msrd.py cache clear audio Clear/delete the audio files the program worked with (don't worry the finished songs will not be deleted).

If you have a slow drive or internet I recommend limiting the threads depending on your specs.

Downloading the entire Discography (as of 2024.09.12, 598 songs) at 55Mb/s with 16 threads took 58min.
