Spottydl

A NodeJS Spotify Downloader package without any API Keys or authentication from Spotify or Youtube-Music.

However, this requires ffmpeg to be installed on your system...

Project Status

  • Automatic tagging of .mp3 files using Node-ID3 includes Year(?), Artist, Album, Title, and Art Cover
  • Simple and easy to use, contains only 6 usable methods 🤔 I do need some help optimizing some parts
  • Error checking, when downloading Tracks, Playlists, Albums i.e retrying the process when status failed...
  • Adding more specific tags like: Total # of tracks, Disc #, and such...
  • Supports downloading Tracks, Playlists, and Albums

Installation

Make sure you have ffmpeg installed on your system preferably version >= 4.0

# NPM
npm i spottydl
# Yarn
yarn add spottydl

               console.log(res) // boolean or <Results[]>
            }
        });
})();

Notes

What this module simply does is that it scrapes data from Spotify, then finds the right track/song from Youtube-Music.

Hence, there's no illegal action or DRM bypass being done within this module, as all data is freely taken and used the right way

Special Thanks to:

ytdl-core

ytmusic-api

node-id3

And other notable NodeJS Spotify downloader projects :D
