spotify-dl VS savify

Spotify streams are encrypted, so unless you can break them, you can't. ffmpeg is an encoding tool, you're seeing that probably because most spotify downloads use spotify for the metadata and download using youtube. spotify-dl, a tool I built few years ago does the same.

not a clue about the ipod bit, but if you have say, a spotify playlist something like https://github.com/SathyaBhat/spotify-dl will delp you get it as mp3s for your use. also the music section of the /r/freemediaheckyeah/ megathread is gold

I've written 3 books (Practical Docker with Python - first and second edition, The CDK Book), organize bunch of events (physical as well as virtual - the most recent being Barcamp Bangalore that is happening this Saturday https://barcampbangalore.com/bcb/), all on the side. In addition there's a small side project that has become fairly popular https://github.com/SathyaBhat/spotify-dl

https://github.com/SathyaBhat/spotify-dl this is the utility which I use to download anything from spotify. what it does is it takes a playlist or particular song and searches it on youtube music and downloads it using ytdlp or some equivalent so somewhere in the code there ought to be a logic which takes a spotify link and returns a youtube link. maybe it's worth grokking if you're into stuff like this.

https://github.com/SathyaBhat/spotify-dl/ (will download from youtube)

Thanks for the amazing work. I think that this would be a good add-on for the "Audio" guide.

Instead of scraping Spotify and YouTube consider using my library’s to download (which itself makes use of YouTube-dlp) https://github.com/sathyabhat/spotify-dl

Currently I'm trying to install and use the spotify_dl packages from python, that is not in the official repository of nixos. There is a good way to install it or have available throw nix-shell?

I've been trying to find something that I can use to download songs off of spotify for the sake of research, but most spotify scrapers on github don't work. I've only gotten Savify to work, which is ideal because it doesn't break Spotify's TOS, but takes a long time to download. What would be the best option in this situation?

Seems like all of these in some form or another will download songs from playlists like a spotify playlist https://github.com/SwapnilSoni1999/spotify-dl https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader https://github.com/deepjyoti30/ytmdl https://github.com/LaurenceRawlings/savify

https://github.com/LaurenceRawlings/savify/releases/tag/v2.3.4 There is an .exe file. Maybe it's enough for your purposes

This is a tool i've been using: https://github.com/LaurenceRawlings/savify

Here Check this tutorial, this is a much better tool than what I've got. Somewhat basic computer skills are needed.
