Spotify-Downloader

PyPi Build Status Coverage Status Docker Build Status Code style: black Gitter Chat

  • Downloads songs from YouTube in an MP3 format by using Spotify's HTTP link.

  • Can also download a song by entering its artist and song name (in case if you don't have the Spotify's HTTP link for some song).

  • Automatically applies metadata to the downloaded song which includes:

    • Title, Artist, Album, Album art, Lyrics (if found on lyrics wikia), Album artist, Genre, Track number, Disc number, Release date, and more...

  • Works straight out of the box and does not require you to generate or mess with your API keys (already included).

Below is how your music library will look!

Installation

❗️ This tool works only with Python 3.

Python 2 compatibility was dropped because of the way it deals with unicode (2020 is coming soon too). If you still need to use Python 2 - check out the (outdated) python2 branch.

spotify-downloader works with all major distributions and even on low-powered devices such as a Raspberry Pi.

spotify-downloader can be installed via pip with:

$ pip3 install spotdl

but be sure to check out the Installation wiki page for detailed OS-specific instructions to get it and other dependencies it relies on working on your system.

For the most basic usage, downloading tracks is as easy as

$ spotdl --song https://open.spotify.com/track/2DGa7iaidT5s0qnINlwMjJ
$ spotdl --song "ncs - spectre"

For downloading playlist and albums, you need to first load all the tracks into text file and then pass this text file to --list argument. Here is how you would do it for a playlist

$ spotdl --playlist https://open.spotify.com/user/nocopyrightsounds/playlist/7sZbq8QGyMnhKPcLJvCUFD
