Requirements:

Binaries

- Python 3.9 or greater

*ffmpeg can be installed via apt for Debian-based distros or by downloading the binaries from ffmpeg.org and placing them in your %PATH% in Windows. Mac users can install it with Homebrew by running brew install ffmpeg.

**Git can be installed via apt for Debian-based distros or by downloading the binaries from git-scm.com for Windows.

Basic command line usage:
  python zspotify <track/album/playlist/episode/artist url>   Downloads the track, album, playlist or podcast episode specified as a command line argument. If an artist url is given, all albums by specified artist will be downloaded.

Extra command line options:
  -p, --playlist       Downloads a saved playlist from your account
  -ls, --liked-songs   Downloads all the liked songs from your account
  -s, --search         Loads search prompt to find then download a specific track, album or playlist
  -ns, --no-splash     Suppress the splash screen when loading.

Options that can be configured in zs_config.json:
  ROOT_PATH           Change this path if you don't like the default directory where ZSpotify saves the music
  ROOT_PODCAST_PATH   Change this path if you don't like the default directory where ZSpotify saves the podcasts

  SKIP_EXISTING_FILES Set this to false if you want ZSpotify to overwrite files with the same name rather than skipping the song

  MUSIC_FORMAT        Can be "mp3" or "ogg", mp3 is required for track metadata however ogg is slightly higher quality as it is not transcoded.

  FORCE_PREMIUM       Set this to true if ZSpotify isn't automatically detecting that you are using a premium account

  ANTI_BAN_WAIT_TIME  Change this setting if the time waited between bulk downloads is too high or low
  OVERRIDE_AUTO_WAIT  Change this to true if you want to completely disable the wait between songs for faster downloads with the risk of instability

Docker Usage

Build the docker image from the Dockerfile:
  docker build -t zspotify .
Create and run a container from the image:
  docker run --rm -v "$PWD/ZSpotify Music:/ZSpotify Music" -v "$PWD/ZSpotify Podcasts:/ZSpotify Podcasts" -it zspotify

Will my account get banned if I use this tool?

Currently no user has reported their account getting banned after using ZSpotify. This isn't to say you won't get banned as it is technically against Spotify's TOS. Use ZSpotify at your own risk, the developers of ZSpotify are not responsible if your account gets banned.

What do I do if I see "Your session has been terminated"?

If you see this, don't worry! Just try logging back in. If you see the incorrect username or password error, reset your password and you should be able to log back in and continue using Spotify.
