Spotifymate- anybody know how to download a whole playlist without having to download each song individually? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been using either Spotifymate or doubledouble to automatically plug in spotify playlists and have all the tunes downloaded.

Doubledouble tends to have issues with regionlocking and will freeze a good bit of the way through processing certain playlists, so I've found it less than reliable.

Spotifymate is way more reliable, but when you plug in the link to the playlist, you have to download each song individually. This is not a problem with small playlists, but when you come across larger playlists it makes it a very tedious task. I may just be stupid, but I don't seem to see a way to download the whole playlist with one click.

Anybody know if its possible or should I look for other solutions? I should also add that I would be more than happy to use some sort of software that automatically makes spotify playlists into youtube playlists so that I can download them from youtube directly with jdownloader if that is an option, I just didn't see that anywhere.

Thanks in advance!

You want yt-dlp. It's a command line app, but it's pretty simple to use. For example, to download a whole playlist to best quality audio, regardless of if the main URL is pointing to a video or playlist, you can do

yt-dlp --yes-playlist -x <url>

If you specifically want mp3 format, you could do

yt-dlp --yes-playlist -x --audio-format mp3 <url>

Thank you, this looks exactly like I wanted.
