Music

This repository scrapes data from sites like Allmusic to give tailored information such as notifactions about interesting new releases.

Features

New Releases

The new releases command gathers information about new releases from Allmusic based on the configured genres, and for each one checks if it's interesting based on sub-genres and ratings. It can then generate an HTML report which is sent by email.

Additional Details:

• Artists whose best rating isn't at least 4 stars will be filtered out
• Emails are sent using Mailjet

Usage:

go run cmd/newreleases/main.go --config config.yaml \
    --new-release-week 20200327 --output out

• --config This flag is required and is the path to the configuration YAML.
• --new-release-week This flag is optional and indicates which specific week should be fetched (it's always a Thursday in the format yyyyMMdd). By default it uses the current week.
• --output This is an optional flag to indicate where html files should be saved. By default it's ./out

Be sure to first copy config.yaml.dist to config.yaml and fill in the missing blanks

Set up cronjob:

First, build the binary:

go build -o newreleasesmailer cmd/newreleases/main.go

Then set up the cronjob:

0 14 * * 5 /path/to/goprojects/src/github.com/ynori7/music/newreleasesmailer --config /path/to/goprojects/src/github.com/ynori7/music/config.yaml --output /path/to/goprojects/src/github.com/ynori7/music/out

Note that the new releases page is available on Allmusic on Friday afternoons, so that's when we schedule the job to run.

Project Structure

Commands are located in cmd and are the main entry points.

The newreleases command gathers configuration from the config package, then sets up a newreleases/handler which orchestrates fetching data from allmusic and then filtering using the filter worker pool.
