SpotifyDL

SpotifyDL

Download any Spotify playlist as MP3 files from your terminal. Paste a link, wait for the download to finish, and find tagged tracks with album art in the downloads/ folder.

Demo:

Quick start

Requirements: Go 1.25+ and a modern terminal (Windows Terminal, iTerm2, etc.)

git clone https://github.com/0dev1337/SpotifyDL.git
cd SpotifyDL
go run ./cmd/main.go

On first run, SpotifyDL downloads ffmpeg and yt-dlp automatically if they are not already installed.

User guide

1. Open the app

Run go run ./cmd/main.go (or ./spotifydl if you built the binary). You will see the main menu.

2. Download a playlist

1. Select Download Playlist
2. Paste a Spotify playlist URL or ID, for example:

   https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXcBWIGoYBM5M
   

3. Press Enter
4. Wait while the playlist loads and tracks download
5. When finished, press Enter to return to the menu

3. Adjust download speed (optional)

1. From the main menu, open Settings
2. Use ↑ / ↓ or + / - to change concurrent workers (default: 4, range: 1–50). Use PgUp / PgDn for ±10.
3. Press Enter to save and go back

More workers download faster but use more bandwidth and CPU.

4. Find your files

MP3s are saved to:

downloads/Artist Name - Track Title.mp3

Each file includes Spotify metadata: title, artist, album, and cover art.

Controls

Build a standalone binary

go build -o spotifydl ./cmd/main.go
./spotifydl
