Step by step Instructions for Downloading songs:

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 using 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.

◘ Now just run the script again by spotdl and type list, it will automatically start downloading the songs you provided in list.txt

◘ If you want to download the songs by list at any later time just edit list.txt by sudo nano Spotify-Downloader/Music/list.txt (assuming you're in you home directory) and use list in the script.

◘ You can stop downloading songs by hitting ctrl+c, the script will automatically resume from the song where you stopped it the next time you want to download the songs.

• play - will play the last song downloaded using mplayer
