#How do I get a song/playlist ID?

#NetEase Cloud Music

Open the NetEase Cloud Music website. The number in the song or playlist URL is the ID.

• Song: https://music.163.com/song?id=1372188635 → ID: 1372188635
• Playlist: https://music.163.com/playlist?id=7697114803 → ID: 7697114803

#What to do if download fails?

#Check Network Connection

Make sure your network can access the Meting API normally.

#Try a Custom API

If the default API is unavailable, you can try using another Meting API service:

mg song 1372188635 --api https://your-api.example.com/meting/

#Check Song ID

Confirm that the song ID is correct. You can use the search command first to verify.

#How to download high-quality music?

Use the --bitrate parameter to specify the bitrate:

mg song 1372188635 --bitrate 320

Available bitrate options: 128 (standard), 192 (medium), 320 (high quality).

Note: The actual quality depends on the resources provided by the music platform. Not all songs have a 320kbps version.

#Where are downloaded files saved?

Files are saved in the current working directory by default. You can specify a directory using the --output or -o option:

mg song 1372188635 --output ./my-music

#How are special characters in filenames handled?

The tool automatically handles illegal characters in filenames by replacing characters like <>:"/\|?* with underscores _ to ensure filesystem compatibility.

#How to search multiple platforms simultaneously?

Use the --server parameter to specify platforms:

mg search "Daylight" --server netease

#How to update to the latest version?

npm update -g music-getter

Or reinstall:

npm install -g music-getter@latest

#How to uninstall?

npm uninstall -g music-getter
