This guy on Reddit built a tool that downloads your entire Spotify, YouTube, and SoundCloud library to your computer with one command.

It's called SoundCLI. It downloads every song in original quality.

Embeds album art and metadata. Sorts into folders automatically. Plays everything back offline from a clean terminal dashboard.

Point it at a playlist, an album, your liked songs, or an artist profile. It handles everything. Picks up where it left off if you close it.

Never downloads the same song twice.

Free. Open-source. MIT license.

David Foster Wallace on what it actually means to be a great artist:

It's spring 1986, and Wallace is a hyper-educated grad student learning to write, coming out of an avant-garde tradition.

The problem: his teachers are all realists with no interest in postmodern work.

He explains the delusion he was living under at the time. They didn't like his stuff, and he had a comforting explanation for why:

"They don't like my stuff. I believe that it's not because my stuff isn't good, but because they just don't happen to like this kind of aesthetic."

Then comes the honest admission:

"In fact, known to them but unknown to me, the stuff was bad, was indeed bad."

So there he is, hating his teachers for exactly the wrong reason. And then he goes to see "Blue Velvet".

Wallace describes the film as an entirely new and original kind of surrealism.

Maybe a debt to Hitchcock somewhere, but it "no more comes out of a previous tradition" than anything.

As he puts it: "It is completely David Lynch."

He points to one scene that crystallised it. A character called the yellow man is shot in an apartment, and the main character runs in to find the guy dead but still standing there, no explanation, he's just standing. Wallace calls it almost classically, francophilistically surreal. And yet, he says, "it seems absolutely true and absolutely appropriate."

That's when it hit him:

"The point of being postmodern or being avant-garde or whatever wasn't to follow in a certain kind of tradition, that all that stuff is BS imposed by critics and camp followers afterwards."

Then the core of it:

"What the really great artists do is they're entirely themselves. They've got their own vision, their own way of fracturing reality. And that if it's authentic and true, you will feel it in your nerve endings."

He's careful not to overclaim. He's not suggesting the film would do this for any other viewer. But for him, Lynch "very much helped snap me out of a kind of adolescent delusion that I was in about what sort of avant-garde art could be."

The proof was in what happened next.

He'd gone with two poets and one other fiction writer. Afterwards they all went to a coffee shop and just sat there slapping themselves in the forehead.

"It was this truly epiphanic experience."

Your technical books shouldn’t die as forgotten PDFs.

book-to-skill is a Claude Code skill that turns a technical book or document into a structured skill for studying, referencing, and using while you work.

It helps you query a book from inside Claude Code by extracting chapters, glossary terms, patterns, cheatsheets, and a main SKILL.md, then loading the right chapter files on demand.

Key features:

• Multi-format input – supports PDF, EPUB, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, reStructuredText, AsciiDoc, HTML, RTF, and MOBI/AZW formats
• Skill output structure – generates SKILL.md, per-chapter Markdown files, glossary.md, patterns.md, and cheatsheet.md
• On-demand chapters – loads chapter files only when you ask about a topic instead of putting the whole book in context
• Technical-book extraction path – can use Docling for code blocks and tables, or faster text extractors for prose-heavy PDFs
• Claude Code workflow – query the installed skill with commands like /your-book-slug replication or /your-book-slug ch05

It’s open-source (MIT license).
