One of my favourite applications. I stopped paying for spotify and just use this to get music these days. Everything gets uploaded to youtube anyways.

Does it automatically grab things like metadata (author, cover art, etc.) for you? And if it requires a flag, do you know it?

I don’t bother personally for the most part but it seems like you can do it via --embed-metadata, --parse-metadata, and --embed-thumbnail.

It’s very automatic with just pointing it at the media’s URL, but also highly configurable if you want.

Unless the artist only posts on YouTube, try soulseek. Most files have metadata already included, and if they don’t, you can just download from another user.

For songs with metadata I recommend ytmdl

May I suggest SpotDL specifically for Spotify: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

Does it work anymore? I’ve been getting the 500 error while trying to use it for a couple of months non stop.

Downloading music from YouTube will get you MP3s, but they will have gone through the YT compression algorithms.

Use Deemix instead. Downloads MP3s straight from the Deezer servers with all metadata and album art.

Deemix? More like Mix Deez Nuts!

I’m sorry.

You’re right, but it does still work.

Lucida.to would also be a pretty good choice, you can choose to download from either Deezer, Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music.
