Music from Spotify on Linux
You can download music from spotify albums on Linux easily, with spotDL
spotDL finds songs from Spotify playlists on YouTube and downloads them - along with album art, lyrics and metadata.
Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 GNU/Linux. Info derived from:
https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader
It doesn't seem to work on Ubuntu 24.04
Install spotdl & FFmpeg
#sudo apt install pip-check-reqs python3-full # this will install python-pip requirements also, in case you don't have them installed yet on Ubuntu 24.04 sudo pip install spotdl sudo apt install ffmpeg
Usage
