A tool which can be ran from the command line to download a Spotify playlist through Youtube, via youtube-dl.
Note: This is for educational purposes and I am not responsible for those who use the tool.
git clone https://github.com/adhorrig/spodl.git
cd spodl
npm install
To install spodl globally, run:
npm install -g
-
Spotify client id and secret from here.
-
Spotify account name and playlist id. (Playlist id is the alphanumeric string following /playlist/)
-
Youtube API Key from here.
-
Youtube-dl installed on your machine from here.
Open config.js and substitute in your Spotify client id and client secret, as well as your Youtube API Key.
You can specify the directory you wish to download the playlist to in config.js. For example, directory : '~/Music/'. If the directory is not specified, spodl will download the playlist to the spodl directory.
After this you can then run spodl spotify_account_name spotify_playlist_id
For example:
spodl adam4543 7KLGqYIgcNeoWepuZ2sjXC
This will create a new directory using the playlist name 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.
For example:
spodl adam4543 7KLGqYIgcNeoWepuZ2sjXC video
If video is not specified, only the audio will be downloaded.
