|
||||
#### Downloading by Name:
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
I want to download Hello by Adele, I will simply run the script by using ```spotdl``` in the terminal and type ```adele hello```.
|
||||
|
||||
The script will automatically look for the best matching song and download it in the folder ```Spotify-Downloader/Music/``` placed in your home directory.
|
||||
|
||||
It will now convert the song to an mp3.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, if we want to check it out the lyrics of that song, just type ```lyrics``` in the script and it should print out the lyrics for any last downloaded song.
|
||||
|
||||
Okay, lets play the song now. Just type ```play``` in the script.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Downloading by Spotify Link:
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
I want to download the same song (i.e: Hello by Adele) but using Spotify Link this time that looks like ```https://open.spotify.com/track/1MDoll6jK4rrk2BcFRP5i7```, you can copy it from your Spotify desktop or mobile app by right clicking or long tap on the song and copy HTTP link.
|
||||
|
||||
Now simply paste this link after running the script (by using ```spotdl```), it should download Hello by Adele.
|
||||
|
||||
Just like before, it will again convert the song to an mp3.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, that we have used a Spotify link to download the song, the script will automatically fix the meta-tags and add an album-art to the song.
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, we can now check out its lyrics or play it.
|
||||
|
||||
Just type ```exit``` to exit out of the script.
|
||||
|
||||
#### What if we want to download multiple songs at once?
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
I want to download Hello by Adele, The Nights by Avicci and 21 Guns by Green Day just a single command.
|
||||
|
||||
Also this time we know the Spotify link only for Hello by Adele but not for other two songs.
|
||||
|
||||
No problem!
|
||||
|
||||
Just make a list.txt by running the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd ~
|
||||
cd Spotify-Downloader/Music
|
||||
sudo nano list.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
add all the songs you want to download, in our case it is:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
https://open.spotify.com/track/1MDoll6jK4rrk2BcFRP5i7
|
||||
the nights avicci
|
||||
21 guns green day
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now press ```ctrl+o```, ```y``` and ```ctrl+x``` to save and exit the nano text editor.
|
||||
You'll have to give 775 permissions to the text file:
|
||||
```sudo chmod 775 list.txt
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo chmod 775 list.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
Now just run the script again by ```spotdl``` and type ```list```, it will automatically start downloading the songs you provided in list.txt
