Help with where to place client id, client secret etc. I am getting Spotidl "is not configured" pip and ffmeg are installed as well as spotidl up to "Finally, define these three environment variables:"

[dhruv-ahuja]

Hello, you will have to define something called environment variables for your system. These are defined differently for Linux and windows.

I recommend reading this guide here.

So you set those three aspects to be your environment variables and the app will start working.

thank you that did help...................

Hey, you have to first paste the Spotify link and then use the parameters.

The Spotify link can be a song, playlist or an album. The parameters then modify the download process or affect the file to be downloaded.

For example, setting the quality affects the files that will be downloaded and the songs will be of the specified quality

Can you please paste the input that you had entered?

[dhruv-ahuja]

Also, again, you have to have a Spotify link entered! All flags except -vrequire a link.

-dspecifies the directory to store the downloads but you are not specifying what you want to download.

Yea, the song downloaded. The link is needed every time you are downloading the song. The parameters/flags like -c flac only affect the spotify link added AT THE TIME of the download.

So if I want to download a song in FLAC, I'd have to do something like:
spotidl https://open.spotify.com/track/3dEtfTtCXWW7N8WQ9FD29z?si=ef415bdb6e9540d7 -c flac
This will download the song in flac quality. You can't make changes to the defaults, unfortunately.

Also, you using "-b flac" would be an error because -b is for the bitrate and not the codec. You can check the codec by using: spotidl -h which will list out all the available options for all the different parameters.

Hope this helps

Yea, the song downloaded. The link is needed every time you are downloading the song. The parameters/flags like -c flac only affect the spotify link added AT THE TIME of the download. So if I want to download a song in FLAC, I'd have to do something like: spotidl https://open.spotify.com/track/3dEtfTtCXWW7N8WQ9FD29z?si=ef415bdb6e9540d7 -c flac This will download the song in flac quality. You can't make changes to the defaults, unfortunately. Also, you using "-b flac" would be an error because -b' is for the bitrate and not the codec. You can check the codec by using: spotidl -h` which will list out all the available options for all the different parameters. check this out <https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/83733638/168607099-f7d26c39-7096-42c6-bdac-e03df5b2e2ea.png> Hope this helps — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#4 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AI6Q56KENIS4266PQSMSZPDVKJGU5ANCNFSM5V7TO3DA>.

Radio announcements as in? If you already have pre-existing files then you'll have to remove then first and then download them, if their format/codec is the same.
For example, if i am download 'album xyz' in mp3 format and then I run the command to download the same album again, I'd have to first remove the existing album folder first.

This is to help with downloading large albums or playlists if the download process is interrupted for whatever reason.

Do I have to do one song at a time rather than the album ?

spotidl https://open.spotify.com/album/2yEezw73AnByn2ZCshrW4w?si=npuRvlQfRoKGBJxt1Ad_6Q -c flac -d C:/spotidownload Only son number 6 is correct Fabio Mariani - Midnight Blue.flac

spotidl https://open.spotify.com/album/2yEezw73AnByn2ZCshrW4w?si=npuRvlQfRoKGBJxt1Ad_6Q -c flac -d C:/spotidownload Only son number 6 is correct Fabio Mariani - Midnight Blue.flac

That's weird. I tried downloading the folder and the same thing happened to me. I believe it has got to do something with the album or the artist being too niche, since my app relies on Youtube to source the audio.
Here you can see that there's only 1 result for the song, I think it's got to do with that.

I'll look around to see what I can do to fix this but I can't give you a time frame since I have a lot going on right now.

Thanks glad to see you duplicated the error, again your help is appreciated. One other question are there other downloader programs like tidal-dl or QobuzDownloaderX that are for other services such as Spotify or Bandcamp that are using a gui setup (windows)?

Nope, sorry.

[dhruv-ahuja]

@Beaubrummel Hello, I'd like to inform you that I've been slowly on improving the application. Although I haven't yet published the changes on the pyPI Index (the place where we get our python applications from: the pip install thingy, I have made some significant improvements.

Although the app still doesn't download the particular album that you had trouble with, a lot of other obscure downloads that failed earlier/resulted in wrong songs should now result in the correct songs being downloaded.

As for that album, I have tried a lot of things but it being obscure makes the search functionality result in returning the wrong audio source for most of the songs in the album. I'm really sorry about that.

[dhruv-ahuja]

This has been worked on in versions 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 of the application, available to download or update using the pip command: pip install spoti-dl or pip install spoti-dl --upgrade.

The problem of inaccurate downloads will be reduced significantly in favour of accurate downloads, with priority to drop downloads altogether if the appropriate source is not found, so this will help avoid any nasty surprises during listening sessions.
