Spotify On The Go

A utility to download Spotify playlist tracks from YouTube.

Install requirements

Creating a virtualenv is always a good idea:

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

spotify-onthego is for Python 2 only. If Python 3 is the default on your platform, you should create a virtualenv using python2:

virtualenv --python python2.7 venv
source venv/bin/activate

Install from Github:

pip install git+git://github.com/manu7691/spotify-onthego.git

If you wish to convert the downloaded files to mp3 format, you will need to install avconv.

For Debian/Ubuntu installation:

sudo apt-get install avconv

For OS X installation you will need to compile from source and you will need to have gcc installed:

mkdir avconv
cd avconv
wget https://libav.org/releases/libav-11.tar.xz
tar xjf libav-11.tar.xz
cd libav-11
./configure --disable-yasm
make install

Note that you will need valid Spotify app credentials. If you don't have a valid client ID/secret pair of keys, you can create a Spotify app here.

Once you have created a Spotify app, you will also have to add a redirect URI for this app ("Add URI").

Usage

Download all songs from 'My Playlist' and save them as mp3:

spotify-onthego "My playlist" ./music/myspotifyplaylist/

The Spotify authentication token and credentials will be stored in ~/.local/share/spotify-onthego/
