#### 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
