Behind the Scenes

Overview

There is a JioSaavn API developed by cachecleanerjeet and fetching Songs Data via that API and then downloading it in Browser and adding perfect metadata in it.

Thanks to ffmpeg.wasm for ffmpeg in Browser 😋

Make sure you check out JioSaavn API page and ⭐ it if you like. People donot earn anything from this and spend their precious time developing it and release it for free. I am personally a huge fan of structural appraoch and like the repo a lot. A small praise, a good mention makes them feel a lot good and it doesn't cost anything. See right sidebar for the list of contributors to the repo.

How it works

Song

  • When you press a download button on song. it will send a request and generate a download URL from server.
  • Then it will download the song asynchronously in background. as the download song will have a gibberish name and no song details.
  • Then we will download the album art asynchronously.
  • Then we will add ID3 tags (Title, Singer, Cover, Composer and stuff) to the downloaded song.

Album, Playlist (not yet working. In progress)

  • Will download all Songs asynchronously as mentioned above.
  • We will make a virtual zip on memory and create a folder and add the songs there.
  • Download the Zip
  • Somewhat Buggy

Made with ❤️ in India.
Huge shoutout to people reporting the issues and giving me pointers to look on how to fix issues. ❤️
Special shoutout to @cachecleanerjeet for his work on enabling the extension without the CORS extension and making the download a little faster. Great job!
