About The Project

Spotify downloader is a python CLI program that downloads songs or even whole playlists from Spotify. It works by finding the YouTube URL of the music and downloading the video using a library called pytube. Then, after converting the video to mp3, the program adds different metadata of the song(Album art, Album name, artists, release date...) to the downloaded audio file using the mutagen library. This program also utilizes the spotipy library to interact with the Spotify API
