# Spottydl

A **NodeJS Spotify Downloader** package without any API Keys or authentication from Spotify or Youtube-Music.

However, this **requires [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html)** to be installed on your system...

## Project Status

- [x] **Automatic tagging of .mp3 files** using [Node-ID3](https://github.com/Zazama/node-id3) includes _Year(?), Artist, Album, Title, and Art Cover_
- [x] **Simple and easy to use**, contains only 6 usable methods 🤔 I do need some help optimizing some parts
- [x] Error checking, when downloading Tracks, Playlists, Albums i.e retrying the process when status failed...
- [ ] Adding more specific tags like: Total # of tracks, Disc #, and such...
- [x] Supports downloading Tracks, Playlists, and Albums

## Installation 

_Make sure you have ffmpeg installed on your system preferably version >= 4.0_

```sh
# NPM
npm i spottydl

        .then(async(results) => {
            let album = await SpottyDL.downloadAlbum(results, "output/", false)
            let res = await SpottyDL.retryDownload(album); 
            console.log(res) // boolean or <Results[]>
        });
})();

// Using a while loop until all tracks have no errors (Experimental)

(async() => {
    await SpottyDL.getAlbum("https://open.spotify.com/album/66MRfhZmuTuyGCO1dJZTRB")
        .then(async(results) => {
            let album = await SpottyDL.downloadAlbum(results, "output/", false)
            let res = await SpottyDL.retryDownload(album); 
            while(res != true) {
               res = await SpottyDL.retryDownload(res);
               console.log(res) // boolean or <Results[]>
            }
        });
})();
```

## Notes

What this module simply does is that it scrapes data from Spotify, then finds the right track/song from Youtube-Music.

Hence, there's no illegal action or DRM bypass being done within this module, as all data is freely taken and used the right way
