Music For Programming scraper

I really like the website musicForProgramming. I wanted to write a small scraping script for three reasons:

  1. I would like to have access to the excellent music offline;
  2. I prefer to control my music via cmus;
  3. I wanted to learn how to write a small scraping script in Ruby.

As there are occasionally new tracks added to the site, I have set up a cron job to run this script periodically.

To run:

  • Download ruby,
  • clone this repository,
  • cd into the mfp_scraper directory,
  • Install the required Ruby Gems
  • from your terminal enter ./scraper.rb to execute the script.

NOTE - This script will download a lot of music...at least 6.7 GB
