This is a utility script that automates a workflow for downloading individual tracks from Karaoke Version.

This workflow is specific to how I use this service. If you want to change it you'll have to make your own modifications.

It will solo & download each individual track separately using a scratch version of Chrome that will be downloaded automatically upon first run.

Requirements

• Node 16+
• Karaoke Version account with purchased songs
• Chrome (will be downloaded automatically)

Installation & Set Up

• Clone the project
• Run npm i to install dependencies
• Add a .env file in the root of the project and include:

KV_USERNAME=<yourusername>
KV_PASSWORD=<yourpassword>

Usage

First, you have to purchase the track in your Karaoke Version account. Copy the URL of the song you want.

Then run npm run start <song url>.

Options

• -d <path> - Change the download location
• -h or --headless - Use headless mode, which hides the UI.
• -p <pitch offset> - Change the pitch of the downloaded tracks (-1 to go down half step, 1 to go up half step, etc)
• -i or --intro - Include the intro precount

Using headless mode may make it less clear what is going on behind the scenes, so I suggest testing it out in the regular mode first.

To pass these flags, you'll have to separate the npm run start .. command from the arguments with --, for example:

npm run start <song url> -- -d my_song_dir

Note

This may well be against their terms, so use at your own risk. I would hate for anyone's account to get banned for abusing automation like this.

And Karaoke Version, if you're listening: We'd love if this was fully supported in the UI!
