Mr. Rippah

Installation

1. Install uv, the Python package manager (instructions)

2. Install mr-rippah

$ uv tool install 'git+https://github.com/cvdub/mr-rippah'

3. Install ffmpeg

Mr. Rippah uses ffmpeg to convert Spotify OGG streams to MP3 files. You can install ffmpeg with brew on macOS and choco on Windows.

Usage

The command accepts a Spotify playlist URL, URI, as well as a track URL or URI.

mr-rippah <playlist-uri>

Authentication

The first time you run this program you'll be asked to authenticate to Spotify via your web browser. Authentication credentials are cached, so you should only have to do this once.

If you're ever having problems logging in, you can clear the cached authenticated credentials by passing the --clear-spotify-credentials flag.

mr-rippah --clear-spotify-credentials <playlist-uri>

Notes

Tracks are downloaded to the user's downloads directory.
