Installation

pip install SpotiFLAC

---

Quick Start

The easiest way to use SpotiFLAC is through the built-in Interactive Wizard. Just run the command without any arguments:

SpotiFLAC

(Or python launcher.py if running from source)

---

Interactive Mode

SpotiFLAC features a smart Interactive Wizard that guides you step-by-step. On launch it automatically runs a service health check before asking any questions, so you always know which providers are reachable.

What the wizard does at startup:

1. Service Health Check — probes all provider endpoints and shows availability inline (✅ / ❌) before asking anything
2. URL History — shows your last 8 downloads so you can re-run one with a single keypress
3. Folder Memory — remembers your last output directory and offers it as the default
4. Profile Load — optionally restores a full saved configuration

Smart URL Detection: If you input an Artist URL, it will ask if you want to download "Featuring" tracks. It skips this question for albums or playlists.

Smart File Paths: If you input a Single Track URL, it will ask if you want to set a specific .flac output path. If you do, it intelligently skips all questions about filename formatting and subfolder organization.

Unified Quality Profiles: Automatically translates your desired quality tier across different services (like Tidal and Qobuz).

CLI Generator: At the end of the configuration, it generates and prints the exact CLI command for your specific setup, so you can copy and reuse it in your automated scripts.

Profile Save: After confirming the download, you can save the entire configuration as a named profile to reuse later.

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

# Simple Download
SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://open.spotify.com/track/4cOdK2wGLETKBW3PvgPWqT",
    output_dir="./downloads"
)

CLI usage:

spotiflac url ./out --service tidal

---

Supported URL Types

SpotiFLAC supports the following URL formats for Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube and Pandora:

Type	Spotify	Tidal	Apple Music	SoundCloud	YouTube / YT Music	Pandora
Track	open.spotify.com/track/...	listen.tidal.com/track/...	music.apple.com/.../song/...	soundcloud.com/artist/track-slug	youtube.com/watch?v=... · youtu.be/...	pandora.com/artist/.../song/TR:... · pandora.app.link/...
Album / Set	open.spotify.com/album/...	listen.tidal.com/album/...	music.apple.com/.../album/...	soundcloud.com/artist/sets/set-slug	music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_...	—
Playlist	open.spotify.com/playlist/...	listen.tidal.com/playlist/...	music.apple.com/.../playlist/...	—	youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...	—
Discography (via artist URL)	open.spotify.com/artist/...	listen.tidal.com/artist/.../discography/albums	music.apple.com/.../artist/...	—	—	—

Note: SoundCloud and YouTube tracks are downloaded as MP3 (neither platform distributes lossless audio). Apple Music downloads as M4A/ALAC (lossless) or AAC depending on the selected quality. Pandora downloads as MP3 (mp3_192 by default) or M4A (aac_64 / aac_32). All other services deliver FLAC.

SoundCloud short links (on.soundcloud.com/...) and mobile links (m.soundcloud.com/...) are automatically resolved. Tracking parameters (e.g. ?utm_source=...) are stripped before processing.

Apple Music track links with an ?i= song parameter (e.g. music.apple.com/us/album/album-name/id?i=trackid) are also supported.

Pandora app links (pandora.app.link/...) are automatically resolved to their canonical web URL. Pandora pretty URLs (e.g. pandora.com/artist/artist-name/album-name/song-name/TR:...) are fully supported.

---

Advanced Configuration

You can customize the download behavior, prioritize specific streaming services, and organize your files automatically into folders.

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://open.spotify.com/album/41MnTivkwTO3UUJ8DrqEJJ",
    output_dir="./MusicLibrary",
    services=["qobuz", "amazon", "tidal", "spoti"],
    filename_format="{year} - {album}/{track}. {title}",
    use_artist_subfolders=True,
    use_album_subfolders=True,
    loop=60,                     # retry duration in minutes
    track_max_retries=2,         # extra per-track retries on failure
    post_download_action="notify"
)

---

Service Health Check

SpotiFLAC can probe all provider endpoints before downloading to verify which ones are currently reachable.

In Interactive Mode this runs automatically at startup. In code or scripts you can call it directly:

from SpotiFLAC.core.health_check import (
    run_health_check,
    print_health_report,
    get_working_providers,
)

results = run_health_check(["tidal", "qobuz", "deezer", "soundcloud", "pandora"])
print_health_report(results)

working = get_working_providers(results)
print("Available providers:", working)

# CLI: check all services then download
spotiflac https://open.spotify.com/track/... ./out --service tidal qobuz

The health check runs in parallel with a configurable timeout (default: 5 s per endpoint) and never blocks your download if a check fails.

---

Configuration Profiles

Save and reuse complete download configurations without re-typing them every time.

Save a profile

# Save current flags as "hires-tidal"
spotiflac https://... ./out \
  --service tidal \
  --quality HI_RES_LOSSLESS \
  --use-album-subfolders \
  --filename-format "{year} - {album}/{track}. {title}" \
  --save-profile hires-tidal

Load a profile

# Load "hires-tidal" — flags override profile values when both are present
spotiflac https://... ./out --profile hires-tidal

In Python

from SpotiFLAC.core.profiles import save_profile, get_profile, list_profiles

# Save
save_profile("hires-tidal", {
    "services":             ["tidal"],
    "quality":              "HI_RES_LOSSLESS",
    "use_album_subfolders": True,
    "filename_format":      "{year} - {album}/{track}. {title}",
})

# Load and use
cfg = get_profile("hires-tidal")
print(list_profiles())  # ['hires-tidal']

Profiles are stored at ~/.cache/spotiflac/profiles.json. In the Interactive Wizard, you are prompted to load a profile at startup and optionally save one at the end.

---

Batch Downloads

Pass a list of URLs to download them all in sequence. Failed tracks per URL are collected and can be retried with loop.

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url=[
        "https://open.spotify.com/album/41MnTivkwTO3UUJ8DrqEJJ",
        "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXcBWIGoYBM5M",
        "https://listen.tidal.com/album/364272512",
    ],
    output_dir="./MusicLibrary",
    services=["tidal", "qobuz"],
    use_album_subfolders=True,
)

---

Auto-Retry on Failure

Set track_max_retries (Python) or --retries (CLI) to automatically retry failed tracks. Each retry cycles through all configured providers from the beginning, waiting exponentially longer between attempts (2 s → 4 s → 8 s …, capped at 30 s).

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://open.spotify.com/album/...",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    services=["tidal", "qobuz", "deezer"],
    track_max_retries=3,   # up to 3 extra attempts per track
)

spotiflac https://open.spotify.com/album/... ./out \
  --service tidal qobuz deezer \
  --retries 3

Tip: Combine --retries with --loop for maximum resilience — --retries handles transient errors on individual tracks, while --loop re-queues permanently failed tracks after N minutes.

---

Post-Download Actions

Trigger an automatic action when all downloads in a session finish.

Action	Description
none	Do nothing (default)
open_folder	Open the output folder in the system file manager
notify	Send an OS desktop notification with a summary
command	Run a custom shell command with {folder}, {succeeded}, {failed} placeholders

Python

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

# Open folder when done
SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://open.spotify.com/album/...",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    post_download_action="open_folder",
)

# Custom command — sync to NAS when done
SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/...",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    post_download_action="command",
    post_download_command="rsync -av {folder}/ user@nas:/music/ && echo '{succeeded} tracks synced'",
)

CLI

# Desktop notification
spotiflac https://... ./out --post-action notify

# Open folder
spotiflac https://... ./out --post-action open_folder

# Custom command
spotiflac https://... ./out \
  --post-action command \
  --post-command "rsync -av {folder}/ user@nas:/music/"

---

Discography Download

Download the complete discography of an artist — both from Spotify and Tidal. Duplicate tracks (same ISRC across different releases) are automatically skipped.

Spotify

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

# Full discography (albums + singles)
SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://open.spotify.com/artist/1Xyo4u8uXC1ZmMpatF05PJ",
    output_dir="./MusicLibrary",
    services=["qobuz", "tidal"],
    use_album_subfolders=True,
    filename_format="{year} - {album}/{track}. {title}",
)

Tidal

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

# Full discography
SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://listen.tidal.com/artist/7804",
    output_dir="./MusicLibrary",
    services=["tidal"],
    use_album_subfolders=True,
    filename_format="{year} - {album}/{track}. {title}",
)

# Albums only
SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://listen.tidal.com/artist/7804/discography/albums",
    output_dir="./MusicLibrary",
    services=["tidal"],
)

# Singles only
SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://listen.tidal.com/artist/7804/discography/singles",
    output_dir="./MusicLibrary",
    services=["tidal"],
)

CLI

# Spotify artist — albums, singles + featuring tracks
spotiflac https://open.spotify.com/artist/... ./MusicLibrary \
  --service tidal \
  --include-featuring \
  --use-album-subfolders \
  --filename-format "{year} - {album}/{track}. {title}"

# Tidal artist (albums + singles)
spotiflac https://listen.tidal.com/artist/7804 ./MusicLibrary \
  --service tidal \
  --use-album-subfolders \
  --filename-format "{year} - {album}/{track}. {title}"

Recommended folder structure for discographies

MusicLibrary/
  Artist Name/
    2019 - Album Title/
      01. Song One.flac
      02. Song Two.flac
    2023 - Single Title/
      01. Song Title.flac

Use --use-album-subfolders and --filename-format "{year} - {album}/{track}. {title}" to achieve this layout automatically.

---

SoundCloud Download

SpotiFLAC can download tracks, sets/albums, and full artist pages directly from SoundCloud. The output format is always MP3 128kbps (SoundCloud does not offer lossless streams). Metadata enrichment is supported; lyrics embedding is skipped as SoundCloud does not provide synchronized lyrics data.

Single Track

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://soundcloud.com/artist/track-slug",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    services=["soundcloud"],
)

Playlist / Set

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://soundcloud.com/artist/sets/set-slug",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    services=["soundcloud"],
    use_album_subfolders=True,
)

Artist Page (all public tracks)

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://soundcloud.com/artist",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    services=["soundcloud"],
    use_artist_subfolders=True,
)

---

Deezer Download

SpotiFLAC can use Deezer as a download service when sourcing tracks identified by other input platforms (Spotify, Tidal, etc.). Deezer is resolved by ISRC, with an automatic text-search fallback. The output format is FLAC.

Note: Deezer URLs cannot be used as input — use a Spotify or Tidal link and set deezer as the service.

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://open.spotify.com/track/4cOdK2wGLETKBW3PvgPWqT",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    services=["deezer", "tidal"],   # Deezer first, Tidal as fallback
)

---

Apple Music Download

SpotiFLAC supports Apple Music as both an input URL source and a download service. The output format is M4A (ALAC lossless or AAC depending on quality).

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://music.apple.com/us/album/album-name/123456789?i=987654321",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    services=["apple"],
    quality="alac",
)

Apple Music quality options: alac (lossless, default), atmos (Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio), ac3 (Dolby Digital), aac, aac-legacy.

---

YouTube Download

SpotiFLAC can download tracks, playlists and albums from YouTube Music (and standard YouTube). The output format is always MP3.

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    services=["youtube"],
)

---

Pandora Download

SpotiFLAC can download individual tracks from Pandora using both web URLs and app links. The output format is MP3 (mp3_192 by default) or M4A (aac_64 / aac_32). Metadata enrichment via Deezer and the full MusicBrainz + lyrics pipeline are supported.

Note: Pandora does not offer lossless streams. Album and playlist downloads are not supported — only individual tracks.

Single Track (web URL)

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://www.pandora.com/artist/artist-name/album-name/song-name/TR:12345678",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    services=["pandora"],
)

Single Track (app link)

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://pandora.app.link/abcdef1234",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    services=["pandora"],
)

Quality selection

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

# High quality MP3 (default)
SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://www.pandora.com/artist/.../TR:12345678",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    services=["pandora"],
    quality="mp3_192",
)

# Medium quality AAC
SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://www.pandora.com/artist/.../TR:12345678",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    services=["pandora"],
    quality="aac_64",
)

With fallback to another provider

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://www.pandora.com/artist/.../TR:12345678",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    services=["pandora", "tidal"],   # Pandora first, Tidal as fallback
)

CLI

# High quality MP3 (default)
spotiflac https://www.pandora.com/artist/.../TR:12345678 ./downloads \
  --service pandora

# Medium quality AAC
spotiflac https://www.pandora.com/artist/.../TR:12345678 ./downloads \
  --service pandora \
  --quality aac_64

# App link
spotiflac https://pandora.app.link/abcdef1234 ./downloads \
  --service pandora

Pandora quality options: mp3_192 (High, default), aac_64 (Medium), aac_32 (Low).

---

Custom Output Path (single tracks)

For single track downloads you can specify the exact file path instead of relying on output_dir + filename_format.

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="https://open.spotify.com/track/4cOdK2wGLETKBW3PvgPWqT",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    output_path="files/song.flac"
)

Note: output_path is automatically ignored when the URL points to an album, playlist, or artist/discography.

---

Qobuz Token (Optional)

Setting a personal Qobuz token improves metadata resolution reliability. The token is used as a last resort fallback — requests are first attempted anonymously, and only if they fail (HTTP 400/401) the token is injected. A free Qobuz account is sufficient.

How to Extract Your Token

1. Log in to play.qobuz.com
2. Open DevTools with F12 → go to the Network tab
3. Play any track or perform any search to trigger API calls
4. Filter requests by typing api.json in the search bar
5. Click on any request to www.qobuz.com/api.json/...
6. In the Request Headers panel, look for: x-user-auth-token: your_token_here
7. Copy the value — that is your token

How to Apply Tokens in SpotiFLAC

Interactive Wizard: The wizard prompts you to paste your Qobuz token during configuration.

Environment Variable:

export QOBUZ_AUTH_TOKEN="YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"

Python:

from SpotiFLAC import SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC(
    url="URL",
    output_dir="./downloads",
    qobuz_token="YOUR_QOBUZ_TOKEN",
)

config.json:

{
    "qobuz_token": "YOUR_QOBUZ_TOKEN"
}

Download Validation

After each download, SpotiFLAC validates the file to detect common issues:

• Preview detection — if the expected duration is ≥ 60 s but the downloaded file is ≤ 35 s, the file is deleted and the download is retried with the next provider.
• Duration mismatch — for tracks longer than 90 s, a deviation greater than 25% (or 15 s minimum) from the expected duration is treated as a corrupt download and the file is removed.
