spotify-dl

Downloads songs from your Spotify My Music collection(well, almost...)

#Tell me more! I wanted an easy way to grab the songs present in my library so I can download it & use it offline(Spotify still hasn't launched here. Y U NO COME?). spotify_to_mp3 worked well but it relied on grooveshark, which unfortunately is no more.

So I wrote this script which mimics that library, but instead of downloading from grooveshark, it provides you with a file of youtube URLs which you can then plug into youtube-dl

###How do I get this thing running?

Pre-requisite: You need Python 3+

1. Clone this repo
2. Install dependencies using pip install -r requirements.txt

• Optional (Using Virtualenv)
  • pip install virtualenv
  • cd my_project_folder
  • virtualenv venv
  • source venv/bin/activate

3. Enter your spotify userid in tokens.py
4. Create your Spotify app & fetch the keys from Spotify Developer Console. Paste the client id, secret, redirect URL in tokens.py. Note the redirect URL can be a valid URL, just ensure it matches with what you have entered in the developer console & in the script.
5. Create your YouTube api & fetch the keys from Google Developer Console. Paste the keys in tokens.py.
6. Run the script using python spotify-dl.py.
   • Note by default, this doesn't download the songs. To download, pass -d as well. Ex: python spotify-dl.py -d
   • To download to a specific directory, pass the directory along with -o. Ex: python spotify-dl.py -d -o c:\music
   • To make the script act on a specific playlist of yours instead of saved tracks, use '-p' option along with playlist id. Ex: python spotify-dl.py -p 18NLt215Rh58uE30QNLOiX
7. Click on the URL prompted to authenticate. Once logged in, paste the URL back in
8. To retrieve download songs as MP3, you will need to install ffmpeg.

• Linux users can get them by installing libav-tools by using apt-get (sudo apt-get install -y libav-tools) or a package manager which comes with your distro
• Windows users can download FFMPEG pre-built binaries from here. Extract the file using 7-zip to a foldrer and add the folder to your PATH environment variable
