You can use this but it doesn’t really download directly from Spotify. Instead, it takes the song name from Spotify, searches it on YouTube, downloads it from YouTube and then adds metadata from Spotify on the downloaded file.
Shameless self-plug, but I made a Python program that basically does the exact same thing, except it has a web ui. It’s called MetaTube and it also supports other metadata providers, such as Musicbrainz and Deezer.
Did you copy Christoph Finks project?
I didn’t copy any project.
Although, I learnt Flask (the framework I use for this app) while developing MetaTube, and the project structure is heavily inspired by the excellent Flask guide by Miguel Grinberg. Check him out if you’re interested in learning Flask.
I’ve not looked too deeply but you may find this interesting then: https://gitlab.com/christophfink/metatube/-/tree/main/metatube
It’s a Python package written by Cristoph Fink that does what it sounds like yours does and it’s got the same name!!
I only discovered it cos I was gonna create an Arch (AUR) package of your MetaTube app until I noticed it already exists but for Christoph’s. So I got confused and realised you both have similar projects with the same name…???
Let me know if you’ve ‘crossed streams’ cos I’ve adopted his Arch (AUR) package (since it was orphaned) and I’m not sure what to do with it!! Either I create a new package with yours named slightly different or I replace the existing with yours? Also does yours have a Python Package at PyPi cos his does?
If not I can create one for you if you want but I gotta ask for Arch and PyPi - what do you want yours called? :/
If you haven’t forked his and developed it further I’ll probs just create a new package of yours but maybe gimme a hint what to name it?
Suggestion: I can name yours
metatubeon AUR since it’s pushed as a full app. His can stay aspython-metatubesince his is a PyPI package. How does that sound?ETA: I feel like I’m your band promoter/manager!! 😂
Ah well, that is a funny coincidence then. I guess neither Christoph Fink nor I were very creative with coming up with a name for our respective apps.
I’ve personally never heard of his project, but I can say that I haven’t published my package at the PyPi register. Although, I do have published it to the Docker Hub.
Maybe
metatube-uifor my package andmetatube-clifor his? Considering his package mainly runs from the CLI and mine is a web UI.
There’s zspotify which is the only one I know of, but on the rare occasion I want to download an album I just use doubledouble.top
Holy shit, thanks!
Wow. This is great.
One might also could patch something like librespot, so that it automatically saves all songs played as mp4. I heard. From a friend.
How is the quality of the music downloaded from doubledouble?
I’m far from an audiophile, but stuff fetched from Spotify downloads at 320 kbps. I usually fetch from Deezer, which has 44.1 kHz FLAC.
zotify is the only one I know about that downloads directly from spotify. FOSS of course.
Is there some service that looks at your Spotify or YouTube Music playlist and downloads FLAC versions of those songs from somewhere else.
I’m the idiot who uses YouTube Music
My condolences, not my area of expertise
couple extra steps, but I think I can use another application to copy over my playlists to Spotify and then I can use your link. Thank you!
True, that should work :)
I just remembered I did the same for a yt playlist once. Deezer has a free import function to transfer playlists. Once you did that you can paste the link. It should be unlimited regarding the number of tracks.
This shows up as a virtual device and uses the Spotify client to play into a virtual device. Works great and downloaded many things.
Ooh, neat! Thank you for sharing and linking this!
What quality are you getting from downloading from Spotify?
Personally, I use Deezer + Deemix to download FLAC for offline play and it’s great!
Do you need a paying account for it to work? I didn’t realise all these piracy apps existed for music on Linux. They completely passed me by!
I think you do need an account (which could be trials) because you have to use an ARL or your credentials to login to Deemix with.
I personally pay for a Deezer family plan and just use offline play mainly for my car.
From what I remember MP3DownloadNet uses the Deezer API to download MP3s and FLAC. I used to collect music with this site before it all the ads but it seems like it’s still working.
No, you don’t need to pay for it. There are plenty of telegram bots and free premium ARLs on the net
320kbit/s Opus. It’s pretty okay, but there’s some compression (in the audio sense) going on, so that some songs sound very noticeably worse. Tool for example lost all its, well, toolness.
Don’t
free-mp3-download net
Not exactly Linux , but for android ViMusic works great. It gets from YouTube music. https://github.com/vfsfitvnm/ViMusic Its available in fdroid.
Deezload2bot on telegram You can send spotify links and it will send you the mp3 files
Spotiflyer https://spotiflyer.app/ No lossless downloads though (320kbps)
This seems amazing. Let me make sure I understand. I can have a free version of Spotify, add music to some playlist, and then have spotiflyer download the playlist in good quality (320kbps)?
Does it download differential? That is, if I add a new song to a playlist, can it download only that new song?
Edit: When going to the details of the downloaded files, all of them are bitrate “128 kb/s”, even though I selected 320 in spotiflyer…
I think this is where login option comes in, i’ll report back if it works differently between logged in vs logged out.
As for differential - yes it can download incremental given you don’t move the files / folders ( doesn’t have database, but check for file existence in the path )
If one needs a spotify login (and I suppose premium account?) to download in 320kbps, then there really is no reason to not use spotify directly, I suppose.
I am looking for the best way to ditch spotify completely. I need songs in 320kbps though. Maybe torrenting is the way, though it is hard to find songs.
Have u tried soulseek in that case? U can find all music lossless.(podcasts etc I still can’t find there). nicotine+ is pretty good client for soulseek.
I absolutely love how Much easier it is to pirate music over Spotify. Artists don’t get shit either way.
yes dont even try to support them, they dindt earn it anyways
They don’t earn anything through Spotify ?
shure they do, but small artist dont earn a lot because spotify is a shit company… and some people think thats an argument for not paying for music at all because „tHeY wOuLdnT eArN muTcH tHroUgH SpoTIfY“ but thats bs imo, the smaller they are the more its wort supporting them, whatever the plattform is. if you dont have money for that its fine, but if, thats not a good argument for piracy
ah well… yes, agreed
I like Spotiflyer and have been using it for probably a year but I think it uses rips from YouTube so a lot of people aren’t fans of the quality.
I wish Lemmy had a better search function because this is a perennial topic. This might help:
Make sure you have turned on ad blocker.
I used to have a command line app that could take a list of Spotify URLs, your credentials and allowed you to bulk download everything directly from Spotify. In my opinion the tools that use Youtube are worthless because they rarely work for the things I want. But I forgot the name of that tool and have been desperately looking for it every since, without success. This thread prompted me to look again and I found https://github.com/casualsnek/onthespot which does basically the same, but with a GUI. So far it works fine.
I use a Telegram bot called https://t.me/spotify_down_bot
