## What it is
A NodeJS command-line utility that downloads songs, albums, playlists, podcasts and episodes from Spotify links by sourcing the audio from YouTube via youtube-dl. It is an alternative to the Python spotdl tool and supports installation via npm, Docker, and Termux on Android.

## Use cases
- download spotify playlist as mp3 files
- rip audio from a spotify album link
- save spotify tracks to local disk from the command line
- batch download songs from a spotify playlist url
- download spotify podcasts and episodes as audio
- alternative to spotdl written in nodejs

## When to choose
- you want a NodeJS-based alternative to spotdl
- you need to download Spotify content from the terminal or in Docker
- you want to run the downloader on Android via Termux

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed correct track matching, since YouTube sourcing can mismatch songs
- you only have a free Spotify account, as API access is now locked behind Premium
- you need a GUI-based downloader
