Installation

Install by typing the following in CMD/PowerShell (Windows):

python -m pip install pydownsongs

For Mac/Linux, type the following in Terminal/PowerShell:

python3 -m pip install pydownsongs

Note: The script requires Python3 and is not supported for Python2

Usage

Refer to these quality levels first:
1: Very High
2: High
3: Medium
4: Low
5: Very Low

Pydownsongs can be used in following ways:

• directly through command line:
  Give the list of songs directly in command line followed by quality level number

pydownsongs <song1> <song2> .... <qualitynumber>

Example:

pydownsongs "Closer chainsmokers" 3

• by using the file method directly in command line:
  You can store the name of songs in a text file and can download songs using command like this:

pydownsongs -f <filename> <qualitynumber>

Example:

pydownsongs -f songs.txt 4

• by using the spotify playlist directly in command line:
  You can download the tracks of a spotify playlist directly by providing a link of playlist and then the quality level like this:

pydownsongs -s <link> <qualitynumber>

Example:

pydownsongs -s https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7KMTl7JzxUt5pRaOu77Omu?si=722aaaa6a18d41e0 4

But, for this to work, you have to create your spotify developer id and secrets at developer.spotify.com and then add both these in following format in a file named pydownsongs.toml in the following format:

id = '<youridhere>'
secrets = '<yoursecretpasswordhere>'

This file has to be placed in the following location: ~/.config/pydownsongs.toml (on GNU/Linux)
C:\Users\.config\pydownsongs.toml (on windows)

• by calling download function in through a python program:

import pydownsongs
pydownsongs.download(songname, qualitylevel)

Example:

import pydownsongs
pydownsongs.download("closer chain smokers", 2)

• by calling downloadarray function through python program:
  This function can be called to download a list of songs

arr = ["a", "b", "c"]
pydownsongs.downloadarray(arr, 4)

Example:

arr = ["closer chainsmokers", "yaara tere wargaa jass manak"]
pydownsongs.downloadarray(arr, 4)

Notes

(I assume that the songs rank top on youtube when given the names that you have mentioned in the list. If there may be duplicate songs, consider writing keywords with songname like if you want to search the song Closer, you may type "Closer chainsmokers".) Make sure that you have active Internet Connection otherwise the script would show you "No Internet Connection" and would exit itself. If any song(s) could not be downloaded by the script it would show "Some error occured" after the song and the name of that song would be copied to failedtemp.txt (this file would be created in the folder in which you are running the script if there are any fails).
