spotify-ripper

A fork of spotify-ripper that uses pyspotify v2.x

Spotify-ripper is a small ripper script for Spotify that rips Spotify URIs to MP3 files and includes ID3 tags and cover art.

Note that stream ripping violates the libspotify's ToS

Features

• real-time VBR or CBR ripping from spotify PCM stream

• writes id3 tags (including album covers)

• creates files and directories based on the following structure artist/album/artist - song.mp3

• optionally skip existing files

• accepts tracks, playlists, albums, and artist URIs

• search for tracks using Spotify queries

• options for interactive login (no password in shell history) and relogin using previous credentials

• option to remove tracks from playlist after successful ripping
