Spotdl – A Command line Music downloader

About

What is Spotdl?

Spotdl is a command-line tool or app that will allow you to download music from Spotify by extracting tracks directly from the streaming service. It essentially lets you download Spotify songs and convert them to MP3 files, which can then be stored and played offline. The process uses Spotify’s song metadata to search for matching tracks and then grabs the corresponding files from YouTube or other sources.
