Did you install the requirements? Because it says it can’t find the “spotipy” module and that should have been installed during the Install requirements step.

freyr is pulling stuff off youtube. clspotify (zspotify) is what's up.

clspotify 💯.. love it for ripping straight off Spotify, however you always need a premium account.

freyr instead, just tailors to everyone, regardless of whether they even have an account to begin with.

Now, freyr already has the ability to choose download sources (-D, --downloader). Just that, as of the time of writing, it only supports YouTube / YouTube Music. I'll make a note to extend that list to support optionally sourcing directly from Spotify / Deezer.

Thanks for bringing clspotify to my attention, btw.

clspotify 100.. love it for ripping straight off Spotify, however you always need a premium account.

Wrong, having free account is sufficient for downloading. It has been working since I discovered it last week and it is working now.

freyr is a spotify-information-relying youtube-dl clone of which there are dime a dozen, namely spotify-downloader, spotify-dl and Spotify-Playlist-Downloader. The biggest difference between freyr and others is that freyr has a misleading description on its main page and its creator bears delusions of it being a wonderful project that warrants donation pages. It does not work if a track is not available on youtube and the audio quality it produces is inferior to the kind accessible on youtube or spotify even with a free account due to it re-encoding audio files that are already lossy. Not only that, it artificially inflates the size of the files by transcoding them to an unnecessarily higher 320k bitrate.
