Is there a music thing that handles single tracks (lemmy.ml)

I've had this concept in my head for a while, I'm kind of amazed it doesn't exist yet.

I want to send a link to a music track to an app on my server, probably yt, maybe Spotify, and have that track be archived on my server, with the metadata from the service, preferably in a place Jellyfin can get at it.

There's a few ways to do that with YT playlist links, but not with adhoc requests for individual tracks, as far as I can see.

Is this not something that exists? I'm thinking it might not be too hard to write, if it doesn't.

An absolutely ancient tool I used to use was WinAmp (v2.x) with the Streamripper plugin. It would save out each song from a shoutcast or icecast station to a file with the artist/album/title/track like a champ. Maybe not quite what you want (won't do youtube) but there are a ton of great indie stations on the vorbis icecast network...

That's a cool approach! Reminds me of the old Napster 🤓

Search for v2.79 (if memory serves) on oldversion.com for the last 'good' version of classic winamp, and the streamripper plugin is still floating around somewhere on the 'net....
