8tracks playlist songs downloader using youtube-dl and bash script magic

8tracks-dl.sh

  # Actually download the song by using best available audio (extension), only 1, without playlist, by using string search and output into our folder using correct track number-name.extension

Just did it for experimentation. Not encouraging piracy.

The command to run would be: sh 8tracks-dl.sh username/playlist-title

Cheers!

PS: you need youtube-dl and jq to make it work..
