Spotify Playlist Downloader

Description

This simple Python script automates downloading songs from Spotify playlists using the spotdl library.

Prerequisites

• Python 3: Download and install the latest Python version from www.python.org/downloads/
• spotdl: github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

Setup

1. Install the spotdl library:

   pip install spotdl

2. Input links to the 'links.txt' file: Place the links to Spotify songs/albums/playlists in this file, one link per line.

Usage

Run the script from your terminal:

python main.py

If prompted

FFmpeg is already installed. Do you want to overwrite it? (y/N):

1. Type y and press Enter to download the latest version of FFmpeg.

2. Type N and press Enter to use the existing FFmpeg installation.

   If you get the following error:

   OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

   Go back to option 1 and overwrite the existing FFmpeg installation.

Explanation

The script does the following:

• Imports the os module: Used for interacting with the operating system (changing directories, running commands).
• Downloads ffmpeg (if not present): Ensures that spotdl has its necessary dependency.
• Reads the links.txt file: Iterates through each Spotify playlist link.
• Downloads songs using spotdl: Uses the spotdl library to download the tracks from each playlist.
