## Description

Streamrip is a command line music archiver and multi-platform downloader designed to retrieve tracks, albums, and playlists from services including Qobuz, Tidal, SoundCloud, and Deezer. It functions as an external playlist synchronizer that can resolve Spotify and Apple Music playlists for downloading via third-party streaming providers.

The tool includes an audio format converter that automatically processes downloaded music into user-preferred local file formats. To ensure data consistency and prevent redundant network requests, it utilizes a media download tracker to monitor content identifiers in a local database.

The system provides capabilities for music content search, cross-platform playlist migration, and the creation of local music library backups.
