## What it is
A Python CLI tool that fetches track metadata from Spotify playlists, albums, or tracks via the Spotify Web API and downloads the corresponding audio files using yt-dlp (primarily from YouTube). It supports parallel downloads and optional SponsorBlock integration to skip non-music sections.

## Use cases
- download songs from a spotify playlist as mp3
- save spotify album tracks for offline listening
- bulk download my spotify library
- convert spotify playlist to local audio files
- download music with sponsorblock skipping non-music parts
- parallel download playlist songs

## When to choose
- you want to download audio matching a Spotify playlist, album, or track using metadata lookup
- you want a simple pip-installable CLI with parallel download support
- you want SponsorBlock integration to skip intros/outros from YouTube sources

## When to avoid
- you expect direct downloads from Spotify itself - the tool only fetches metadata and downloads from other sources like YouTube
- you need a GUI or streaming app integration rather than a command-line tool
- you need lossless or guaranteed high-quality audio matching Spotify streams
