ytmdl VS spotify-tui

This one's not perfect, but it rips songs from YouTube or things like that and gets the Metadata so you can upload it to iTunes to your iPod and what not https://ytmdl.deepjyoti30.dev/

https://github.com/deepjyoti30/ytmdl did this first, and did it best, the rest of the projects doing it add precisely nothing.

I don't know what your current OS is or familiarity with command line is like, but this is pretty handy for what you want to do: ytmdl

Any suggestions? for now when I want to download single tracks I use a spotdl fork and I have looked at ytmdl which I believe have support for Spotify metada, but other than that, having seen anything that can integrate with yt-dlp and not replace it.

This program downloads then extracts metadata from iTunes, Spotify, LastFM, Deezer, Gaana https://github.com/deepjyoti30/ytmdl

https://github.com/deepjyoti30/ytmdl kind of does it but it grabs the mp3 not the video. I might have it pull the official video URL and dump those to a file then grab those.

you can download youtube songs in mp3 not only with thumbnail but also metadata with ytmdl (artist name, album, etc) (web app) (command line)

It was at this point I was getting a lot of joy out of writing command line applications. I had also just learnt of the existence of spotify-tui and wanted to explore more I could build such applications. So building interfaces for APIs felt like a good way to try this out.

If you are handy with a terminal, spotify-tui is my favorite Spotify controller I’ve ever used. No bullshit at all.

I switched to linux recently and iam loving it the speed and CLI tools that linux provides are amazing you can do anything imaginable in the terminal i use Spotify in the terminal navigate very very fast using auto-jump and its just easier than navigating all those uis and using the keyboard for everything is way faster and easier on your hand than the mouse and keyboard combination especially if you use a window manager

I dont know if it counts but I have used spotify tui on my pi400 a while ago link

For example, there's a couple reddit clients, YouTube viewers, Spotify clients and many many more.

If you want to run Spotify on a Raspberry (or PinePhone or some other device), there’s Spot, which is great, but kinda heavy and slow. There’s Spotify-qt which is faster, requires messing with Spotify developer dashboard, and UI doesn’t fit on small screens. Spotify-qt is itself based on Spotify-tui which runs in the terminal (pretty cool IMO). And a bare client/daemon is spotifyd. So you have quite a few choices there.
