Hi,
I made a script to download free audio data which may be useful on your
linuxaudio desktop.
* I tried to 'echo' credits and copyrights as much as possible, all
though it should be improved in some areas as well I think
(contributions are welcome).
* I didn't check if the folder structure made by the script is right,
you may find data in unexpected places... (improvements are welcome)
* I ran a previous version of this script myself. I didn't run the
script as it is now...
* There is probably more interesting free audio data available which
should fit nicely in the script (contributions are welcome!)
* Use at your own risk
Regards,
\r

Hey,
Great idea Rosea! I have some suggestions you might concider?
- The downloads are quite big, for those with slower internet, at least warn
that X GB will be downloaded?
- Perhaps see if a GUI can be incorperated, perhaps a Python application? (I
volunteer to help on this if needed.)
- In the GUI we could ask the user "what" part of all of the resources they
want, ie: maybe not all want both Salamander & the Mastro Concert Grand
pianos...
Just a question, one of the resources mentiones:
"If you want to include any of these soundfonts in a distribution or
collection of soundfonts or similar, you must get my permission"
Would the list concider a script to download things a collection? Or
similar? Ie: Would each downloader need to contact the owner?
Cheers, and once again, fabulous idea! I find im always losing some samples
/ something small when reinstalling, this script would clear that up for
once & for all. -Harry

I don't think a GUI is needed, just open the script in a editor and rm
what you want or better, don't want...

When I was starting out with linux audio, if someone told me to get some
samples / whatever I'd
have to go and "just open the script in a editor and rm what you want or
better, don't want..."
I don't think I'd be too impressed...
Whereas if a nice little GTK GUI pops up, with a funky logo, and you can
click what you want to get...
and perhaps even hear a sample... wauw. I'd have been impressed.
I'll see what time permits me to do in the next couple of days. :-)

I don't know rosea other than reading his postings here on the list,
but I would assume that (judging from those postings) he is like me in
that he is not a programmer, but loves open source software and wants
to contribute in some meaningful way. this script might represent a
learning curve for him, something that took him a long time to learn
how to do. I'm pretty sure that you would laugh at my C program that
can count to 10, but it took me *days* to figure out how to do
it...and I'm pretty proud of it. :)
keep at it, \r.

I wouldn't use such a script myself, since I'd rather hand pick the
samples I need, and after doing this for ages I have now ended up
finding certain sites that have what I'm looking for. Time consuming but
rewarding process...
That said, I think it's a great idea, and the fact that it uses wget
doesn't make it the slightest bit less useful!
Thanks for sharing!

Reminds me of the old joke about a consultant whose client demanded a
detailed breakdown of his charges.
Fixing one line of code with a bug in it: $1.00
Finding that line of code with a bug in it: $999.00
I didn't have a list of download URLs for free instruments, and now I do.
Don't really care how trivial the script itself is, as I'll probably
perl -nle 'print $1 if /wget.+(http\S+)/' it anyway.

Are the links in a wiki somewhere? Maybe as a list + some
meta-information? Would be more useful IMHO.

is a simple PHP script that gets the list from the wiki, and queries the
file-size of each of the links.. I've used it to detect dead-links.
Anyway it should be easy enough to extend it to download the stuff as
well. Detecting the file-format and calling unzip or tar and sorting
them into subfolders is left as an exercise..
Cheers!
