```
Requirements:
Binaries
- Python 3.8 or greater
- ffmpeg*
- Git
Python packages:
- pip install -r requirements.txt
```
\*ffmpeg can be installed via apt for Debian-based distros or by downloading the binaries from [ffmpeg.org](https://ffmpeg.org) and placing them in your %PATH% in Windows.
```
Command line usage:
python zspotify.py Loads search prompt to find then download a specific track, album or playlist
python zspotify.py <track/album/playlist/episode url> Downloads the track, album, playlist or podcast episode specified as a command line argument
python zspotify.py <artist url> Downloads all albums by specified artist
Extra command line options:
-p, --playlist Downloads a saved playlist from your account
-ls, --liked-songs Downloads all the liked songs from your account
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 Set this to "ogg" if you would rather that format audio over "mp3"
RAW_AUDIO_AS_IS Set this to true to only stream the audio to a file and do no re-encoding or post processing
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
```
### 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 againt Spotify's TOS.
**Use ZSpotify at your own risk**, the developers of ZSpotify are not responsible if your account gets banned.
