Hi @niclashoyer , thanks for the nice script!

I encountered an error with curl ('curl: (92) HTTP/2 stream 0 was not closed cleanly: Unknown error code (err 1)').
I think it is a problem with the HTTP/2 support of jamendo's servers, this workaround fixed it for me:

curl --http1.1 --progress-bar -o "$FILENAME" "$FILEURL"

Best Regards

@vitrif thanks! It has been a while since I used this script. I added your fix. Glad to see it being useful 🎈

It certainly is, thanks for the fast 'merge' 👍 I'm gonna enjoy some high-quality EDM now 😅

I was getting the following error: parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 6
Replacing the API URL to the HTTPS one (https://api.jamendo.com/v3.0) fixed it.
