Command line usage:
Basic command line usage:
python zspotify <track/album/playlist/episode/artist url> Downloads the track, album, playlist or podcast episode specified as a command line argument. If an artist url is given, all albums by specified artist will be downloaded. Can take multiple urls.
Extra command line options:

-ls, --liked-songs Downloads all the liked songs from your account
-s, --search Loads search prompt to find then download a specific track, album or playlist
-ns, --no-splash Suppress the splash screen when loading.
Options that can be configured in zs_config.json:
ROOT_PATH Change this path if you don't like the default directory where ZSpotify saves the music
ROOT_PODCAST_PATH Change this path if you don't like the default directory where ZSpotify saves the podcasts
SKIP_EXISTING_FILES Set this to false if you want ZSpotify to overwrite files with the same name rather than skipping the song
MUSIC_FORMAT Can be "mp3" or "ogg", mp3 is required for track metadata however ogg is slightly higher quality as it is not transcoded.
FORCE_PREMIUM Set this to true if ZSpotify isn't automatically detecting that you are using a premium account
ANTI_BAN_WAIT_TIME Change this setting if the time waited between bulk downloads is too high or low
OVERRIDE_AUTO_WAIT Change this to true if you want to completely disable the wait between songs for faster downloads with the risk of instability
Docker Usage
Pull the official docker image (automatically updates):
docker pull cooper7692/zspotify-docker
Or build the docker image yourself from the Dockerfile:
docker build -t zspotify .
Create and run a container from the image:
docker run --rm -u $(id -u):$(id -g) -v "$PWD/zspotify:/app" -v "$PWD/zs_config.json:/zs_config.json" -v "$PWD/ZSpotify Music:/ZSpotify Music" -v "$PWD/ZSpotify Podcasts:/ZSpotify Podcasts" -it zspotify
Google Colab
There is a community maintained repo for Google Colab at Ori5000/zspotifycolab designed to make it easier to add songs to Google Drive or orther cloud services.
Will my account get banned if I use this tool?
Currently no user has reported their account getting banned after using ZSpotify.
There have been 2-3 reports from users who received account bans from Spotify for using this tool.
We recommend using ZSpotify with a burner account.
Alternatively, there is a configuration option labled DOWNLOAD_REAL_TIME, this limits the download speed to the duration of the song being downloaded thus not appearing suspicious to Spotify.
This option is much slower and is only recommended for premium users who wish to download songs in 320kbps without buying premium on a burner account.
Use ZSpotify at your own risk, the developers of ZSpotify are not responsible if your account gets banned.
What do I do if I see "Your session has been terminated"?
If you see this, don't worry! Just try logging back in. If you see the incorrect username or password error, reset your password and you should be able to log back in and continue using Spotify.
