# Spotify Web Downloader
A Python CLI app for downloading songs and music videos directly from Spotify.
**Discord Server:** https://discord.gg/aBjMEZ9tnq
## Features
* Download songs in AAC 128kbps or in AAC 256kbps with a premium account
* Download synced lyrics
* Download music videos with a premium account
* Highly configurable
## Prerequisites
* Python 3.8 or higher
* A .wvd file
* A .wvd file contains the Widevine keys from a device and is required to decrypt the files. The easiest method of obtaining one is using KeyDive, which extracts it from an Android device. Detailed instructions can be found here: https://github.com/hyugogirubato/KeyDive.
* .wvd files extracted from emulated devices may not work.
* The cookies file of your Spotify browser session in Netscape format (free or premium)
* You can get your cookies by using one of the following extensions on your browser of choice at the Spotify website with your account signed in:
* Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/export-cookies-txt
* Chromium based browsers: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gdocmgbfkjnnpapoeobnolbbkoibbcif
* FFmpeg on your system PATH
* Older versions of FFmpeg may not work.
* Up to date binaries can be obtained from the links below:
* Windows: https://github.com/AnimMouse/ffmpeg-stable-autobuild/releases
* Linux: https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/
## Installation
1. Install the package `spotify-web-downloader` using pip
```bash
pip install spotify-web-downloader
```
2. Place your cookies file and the .wvd file in the directory from which you will be running spotify-web-downloader and name it `cookies.txt` and `device.wvd` respectively.
## Usage
```bash
spotify-web-downloader [OPTIONS] URLS...
