For advance and tech savvy users, the command line approach is highly recommended. It is a very popular method among users on forums like Reddit. It's completely free and open-source but requires comfort with the command line.
To get it working, a script uses a tool to read a Spotify playlist URL, find the matching music videos on YouTube, and then download the audio from YouTube in MP3 format.
What you'll need:
- Python installed on your computer.
- The yct-dlp command-line program.
- FFpmpeg (a dependency for audio conversion).
After installation, run this command to download playlist from spotify to mp3:
yct-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 320K --embed-thumbnail --add-metadata "Playlist_URL"Pros: Free, powerful, highly customizable, no software to install beyond the initial tools.
Cons: Very technical, not user-friendly, requires troubleshooting skills, setup can be complex for beginners.
