Helper scripts for turning Spotify playlists into MP3s

spotify-rip

Some shell scripts around spotdl to make downloading MP3s from Spotify easier (specifically, via playlists)

Install spotdl AKA spotify-downloader via pip3:

pip3 install spotdl

In October 2019 that was the most reliable Spotify-ripping tool I found.

Fun fact: spotdl doesn't actually download from Spotify, it just gets the playlist tracks then finds the songs on YouTube and fetches using youtube-dl, lol

Setup

I'm assuming you're on a Mac which still ships with python2 as default EYEROLL AMIRITE

1. Install spotdl

pip3 install spotdl

2. You might need to install youtube-dl, you should have it anyway, it's awesome

brew install youtube-dl

Note: try to keep your youtube-dl up-to-date, YouTube breaks it all the time

Usage

1. Make a sick Spotify playlist
2. Copy its playlist URL (right-click -> copy)
3. Run ./run.sh [your-spotify-playlist-url]
4. Rock the party
5. Don't forget your needles
