Spotify Ripper, apparently, is a music ripper specially designed for making it possible to extract the music from the Spotify server and recoding the music as the lossy compressed or uncompressed audio formats like MP3, M4A with ID3 tags and more by recording Spotify technology. After ripping Spotify songs, you can put the music to an MP3. Launched in 2008, Spotify has had 75 million active users and over 20 million paid subscribers worldwide. Although Spotify is perfect for music fans, it does not provide an option to extract the MP3 files from Spotify, thus, the subscribers can't download Spotify songs or play on MP3 player. Spotiload (former Spotify Vk Downloader) Spotiload (former Spotify Vk Downloader) is a free.

TunesKit Spotify Music Ripper is such a dedicated Spotify ripping tool. It can rip music from Spotify to MP3 at 320Kbps while completely removing the DRM from the songs and playlists. It can also keep original ID3 tags, like track, album, artist, artwork, etc. A fork of spotify-ripper that uses pyspotify v2.x. Spotify-ripper is a small ripper script for Spotify that rips Spotify URIs to audio files and includes ID3 tags and cover art. By default spotify-ripper will encode to MP3 files, but includes the ability to rip to.
Spotify is a great way to find and listen to music by streaming it on your phone, in your web browser, or on your Linux desktop. You can stream everything, sync tracks and playlists offline, or sync local music to iPhone, iPod or other mobile devices. In this post, we will show you the best two ways to play Spotify Music on Linux: one is to install Spotify in Ubuntu 16.04 and later versions; the other one is to download Spotify music to your Mac/ Windows computer for syncing to Linux.
Method 1: Install Spotify Client in linux
Method 2: Download Spotify Music to Mac/ PC for Syncing to Linux
Method 1: Install Spotify Client in linux
If you are attempting to install Spotify, the following method would be very helpful for you to successfully install Spotify client in your Linux.
Step 1: To install desktop client of Spotify, open a default terminal via Ctrl+Alt+T short cut key and use the following commands:
sudo sh -c 'echo 'deb http://repository.spotify. scomtable non-free' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list'
Step 2: This will add the above repository in software sources list. Now add the signing key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys BBEBDCB318AD50EC6865090613B00F1FD2C19886
Step 3: Next, update and install Spotify client.
1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get install spotify-client
Step 4: The current stable release was built against Ubuntu 14.04. It does not launch in Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 15.10 and Ubuntu 16.04 without the library
libgcrypt.so.11
. To fix it, just select download the package from the link below and click to install via Software Center.libgcrypt11 for 64-bit | libgcrypt11 for 32-bit
That’s all you need to do. Next you can start Spotify by searching for it Unity Dash (in Ubuntu). It integrates very well in Ubuntu environment. Here is what Spotify interface looks like in Ubuntu 16.04:

Project description
A fork ofspotify-ripper thatuses pyspotify v2.x
Spotify-ripper is a small ripper script for Spotify that rips SpotifyURIs to audio files and includes ID3 tags and cover art. By default spotify-ripper will encode to MP3 files, but includes the ability to rip to WAV, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, Opus, AAC, and MP4/M4A.
Note that stream ripping violates the libspotify’s ToS
Libspotify’s Deprecation
From Mopidy’s documentation
Note that as of May 2015 libspotify is officially deprecated by Spotify and is no longer actively maintained.
Note that as of Jan 2016 Spotify may no longer be issuing developer keys.
Spotify has published newer libraries intended for Android and iOS development, as well as web APIs to access track metadata and manage playlists. Though, for making apps with Spotify playback capabilities, on any other platform than Android and iOS, there is currently no alternative to libspotify.
libspotify has been the main way of integrating with Spotify since 2009, and is today a part of numerous open source projects and commercial applications, including many receivers and even cars. There’s no guarantees, but one can hope that the large deployment of libspotify means that the library will continue to work with the Spotify service for a long time into the future.
Features
- real-time VBR or CBR ripping from Spotify PCM stream
- writes ID3v2/metadata tags (including album covers)
- rips files into the following directory structure: artist/album/artist - song.mp3 by default or optionally into a user-specified structure (see Format String section below)
- option to skip or overwrite existing files
- accepts tracks, playlists, albums, and artist URIs
- search for tracks using Spotify queries
- options for interactive login (no password in shell history) andto relogin using previous credentials
- option to remove tracks from playlist after successful ripping
- globally installs ripper script using pip
- Python 2.7.x and 3.4.x compatible. Python 3 will occasionally throw a NameError: name '_lock' is not defined exception at the end of the script due to an upstream bug in pyspotify.
- use a config file to specify common command-line options
- helpful progress bar to gauge the time remaining until completion
- keep local files in sync with a Spotify playlist, m3u and wpl playlist file
- option to rip to ALAC, a loseless codec, instead of MP3 (requires extra avconv dependency)
- option to rip to FLAC, a loseless codec, instead of MP3 (requires extra flac dependency)
- option to rip to Ogg Vorbis instead of MP3 (requires extra vorbis-tools dependency)
- option to rip to Opus instead of MP3 (requires extra opus-tools dependency)
- option to rip to AAC instead of MP3 (requires extra faac dependency)
- option to rip to MP4/M4A instead of MP3 (requires compiling fdkaac)
- option to replace output filenames
- option to normalize output filenames to NFKD (see http://unicode.org/faq/normalization.html)
Please note: Spotify’s highest quality setting is 320 kbps, so the benefit of ripping to a lossless format is to not double encode the audio data. It’s not possible to rip in true lossless quality.
Usage
Command Line
spotify-ripper takes many command-line options
Facebook Login
Spotify-ripper will work with your regular Facebook login/password if you setup your Spotify account to login using your Facebook credentials. Otherwise, use your Spotify login/password.
Config File
For options that you want set on every run, you can use a config file named config.ini in the settings folder (defaults to ~/.spotify-ripper). The options in the config file use the same name as the command line options with the exception that dashes are translated to snake_case. Any option specified in the command line will overwrite any setting in the config file. Please put all options under a [main] section.
Here is an example config file
Format String
The format string dictates how spotify-ripper will organize your ripped files. This is controlled through the -f | --format option. The string should include the format of the file name and optionally a directory structure. If you do not include a format string, the default format will be used: {album_artist}/{album}/{artist} - {track_name}.{ext}.
The --flat option is shorthand for using the format string: {artist} - {track_name}.{ext}, and the --flat-with-index option is shorthand for using the format string: {idx:3} - {artist} - {track_name}.{ext}. The use of these shorthand options will override any --format string option given.
Your format string can include the following variables names, which are case-sensitive and wrapped in curly braces, if you want your file/path name to be overwritten with Spotify metadata.
Format String Variables
Names and Aliases | Description |
---|---|
{track_artist}, {artist} | The track’s artist |
{track_artists}, {artists} | Similar to {track_artist} but will be joinmultiple artists with a comma(e.g. “artist 1, artist 2”) |
{album_artist} | When passing an album, the album’s artist(e.g. “Various Artists”). If no album artistexists, the track artist is used instead |
{album_artists_web} | Similar to {album_artist} but retrievesartist information from Spotify’s Web API.Unlike {album_artist}, multiple albumartists can be retrieved and will be joinedwith a comma (e.g. “artist 1, artist 2”) |
{album} | Album name |
{track_name}, {track} | Track name |
{year} | Release year of the album |
{ext}, {extension} | Filename extension (i.e. “mp3”, “ogg”, “flac”,…) |
{idx}, {index} | Playlist index |
{track_num}, {track_idx},{track_index} | The track number of the disc |
{disc_num}, {disc_idx},{disc_index} | The disc number of the album |
{smart_track_num},{smart_track_idx},{smart_track_index} | For a multi-disc album, {smart_track_num}will return a number combining the disc andtrack number. e.g. for disc 2, track 4 it willreturn “204”. For a single disc album, it willreturn the track num. |
{playlist}, {playlist_name} | Name of playlist if passed a playlist uri,otherwise “No Playlist” |
{playlist_owner},{playlist_user},{playlist_username} | User name of playlist’s owner if passed aa playlist uri, otherwise “No Playlist Owner” |
{playlist_track_add_time},{track_add_time}, | When the track was added to the playlist |
{playlist_track_add_user},{track_add_user}, | The user that added the track to the playlist |
{user}, {username} | Spotify username of logged-in user |
{feat_artists},{featuring_artists} | Featuring artists join by commas (see PrefixString section below) |
{copyright} | Album copyright message |
{label}, {copyright_holder} | Album copyright message with the yearremoved at the start of the string if itexists |
Any substring in the format string that does not match a variable above will be passed through to the file/path name unchanged.
Zero-Filled Padding
Format variables that represent an index can be padded with zeros to a user-specified length. For example, {idx:3} will produce the following output: 001, 002, 003, etc. If no number is provided, no zero-filled padding will occur (e.g. 8, 9, 10, 11, …). The variables that accept this option include {idx}, {track_num}, {disc_num}, {smart_track_num} and their aliases.
Prefix String
Format variable feat_artists takes a prefix string to be prepended before the output. For example, {feat_artists:featuring} will produce the follow output ``featuing Bruno Mars. If there are no featuring artists, the prefix string (and any preceding spaces) will not be included.
Playlist Sync Option
By default, other than checking for an overwrite, spotify-ripper will not keep track of local files once they are ripped from Spotify. However, if you use the --playlist-sync option when passing a playlist URI, spotify-ripper will store a json file in your settings directory that keeps track of location of your ripped files for that playlist.
If at a later time, the playlist is changed on Spotify (i.e. songs reordered, removed or added), spotify-ripper will try to keep your local files “in sync” the playlist if you rerun the same command. For example, if your format string is {index} {artist} - {track_name}.{ext}, it will rename is existing files so the index is correct. Note that with option set, spotify-ripper will delete a song that was previously on the playlist, but was removed but still exists on your local machine. It does not affect files outside of the playlist and has no effect on non-playlist URIs.
If you want to redownload a playlist (for example with improved quality), you either need to remove the song files from your local or use the --overwrite option.

Install Spotify On Linux
Windows
Unfortunately, pyspotify seems to have an issue building on Windows (if someone can get this to work, please let me know). The best alternative is to run a linux distribution in a virtual machine. Basic instructions to install Ubuntu on Virtual Box can be found in the wiki.
Optional Encoding Formats
In addition to MP3 encoding, spotify-ripper supports encoding to FLAC, AAC, MP4/M4A, Ogg Vorbis and Opus. However, additional encoding tools need to be installed for each codec you wish to use.
