Can I listen to Spotify offline without premium?
I recommend using Potty, an open-source command-line tool designed to help you download music from Spotify by finding the corresponding audio on YouTube and applying accurate metadata. It functions as a sophisticated wrapper around the popular video/audio downloader yt----dlp.
Instead of just downloading individual tracks, Potty is particularly useful for library management and automation. It excels at reading entire Spotify playlists or exported library files, efficiently downloading the songs, ensuring files are organized correctly, and automatically embedding metadata like artist, album, and album art.
How to Spotify offline without premium free
Step 1: Install Potty and dependencies
pip install potty-dlpStep 2: Get a Spotify track, playlist or album URL. Right-click on the playlist/album. Select Share > Copy link to playlist/album.
Step 3: Use the potty command followed by the Spotify URL and any optional flags. The most common action is to simply download the tracks from a playlist.
potty -p spotify_urlPotty will now read the tracklist from the Spotify link. Search for the highest quality match for each track. Save the files into an organized folder structure (usually based on Artist/Album name).
