# Basic Usage
|
|
First, the program must be downloaded with `pip3` (requires Python 3.6.1 `sudo apt install python3` or higher *and* FFmpeg 4.2 `sudo apt install ffmpeg` or higher) via `pip3 install spotdl`.
|
|
|
|
To download a track, album, or artist from Spotify, use:
|
|
`spotdl <url e.g. https://open.spotify.com/artist/3q7HBObVc0L8jNeTe5Gofh?si=fd6100828a764c3b>`
|
|
|
|
This is non-interactive and works programmatically.
|
|
|
|
## Using Docker Container
|
|
If the host has Docker, but you don't want to install any Python packages, you can run single commands with the Docker container with `docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd):/data" coritsky/spotdl <url e.g. https://open.spotify.com/artist/3q7HBObVc0L8jNeTe5Gofh?si=fd6100828a764c3b>`.

# Music Library Integration
|
|
To make updating my library easier, each "Artist" folder has a file called `spot.txt` which contains only the Spotify URL for that artist. This makes it possible to run a loop similar to the following:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd /path/to/music/library/artists
|
|
for artist in */; do
|
|
cd "$(pwd)/$artist" &&
|
|
# use spotdl if the host is already configured with spotdl, or you don't need the script to be portable
|
|
# use docker run for better portability (within my lab) at the expense of overhead
|
|
spotdl $(cat spot.txt) &&
|
|
# docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd):/data" coritsky/spotdl $(cat spot.txt) &&
|
|
cd ..
|
|
done
|
|
```
