spotifydl-music

A simple commandline utility that allows you to download Spotify Songs, Shows, Episodes, Playlists and Albums from Youtube music. The important difference from the original spotify-dl is, that this is actually pulling the songs from youtube music as a song, so it will download official songs.

PLEASE NOTE:

• The ability to find a video is dependent on the fact it is hosted on youtube, and even then there is a chance it is still incorrectly matched
• Some items may only be available to spotify premium users, please be sure to provide a username and password when this is the case
• It is very likely that the song is only found if it is an actual song on youtube music too.
