What you need

1. Spotify client id and secret. (Gotten from: https://developer.spotify.com/)

4. Youtube-dl installed on your machine. (Gotten from: https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/)

Running

Open config.js and substitute in your Spotify clientId and clientSecret, as well as your Youtube API Key. After this you can then run node src/index.js spotify_account_name spotify_playlist_id

This will create a new directory using the playlist id and download all songs from the playlist into that directory.

If you would like to also download the music video, rather than just audio you can include video at the end of the command.

node src/index.js adam4543 7KLGqYIgcNeoWepuZ2sjXC video

If video is not specified, only the audio will be downloaded.
