spotify-downloader VS spotify-dl

idk but this seems usefull

https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

You can use Spotdl ,it will will work if yt music is available in your region

I use https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader to download and convert my spotify playlists to mp3 or flac files.

Just wanted to make a post on here for anyone who needs it, spotDL is probably the best option currently for downloading music with all the tagged data including lyrics, artist, album art, etc. directly from spotify but rips the audio from Youtube. It also has the capability to download entire albums and playlists from giving it a link. It requires a bit of set up but it's completely worth it! Here's a link: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

this is cool and all but I already use a tool called spotDL. Is there any benefit to this over that?

What does it offer that's different than `spot-dl`? https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

spotdl resources: https://spotdl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

spotDL will download spotify playlists, artists, or albums that you specify and correctly populate all the necessary metadata, including album art. It's extremely easy to use

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?
