Hi mr SciLor

I really like this piece of software and its amazing that its free and open source. I was wondering if it would be possible to implement a feature where a user could schedule downloads. This would be useful for users who have unlimited bandwidth at night.

The other way to approach this problem is to enable a command line interface such that with the application I can make a downloads list, export that list, and then set up a cron job/scheduled task to run something like "scilor.exe download songs.txt" where songs.txt is the list exported from the application.

None of that is set in stone, more like idea's

Whatcha think?

A command line option that automaticly starts the download would be enough then. You would just need to set up your list, close the app and thats it :).

Hi SciLor

Amazing work! 1 issue is that the gui appears to lock when running these tasks from cli. It doesnt matter but I thought it had crashed untill I restarted it and found it had downloaded the songs in the queue!

I was using -download

Again thank you!!

Commandline is currently Syncronous and it doesn't update the GUI. In the next update it will work fine, with the gui :).
