Created a bash script to download Spotify songs and keep track of your download i.e., not download them again and again (lemmy.ml)

I would rather prefer that you would buy spotify premium if you can. But, till you can, there's always spotdl which can allow you to download your songs

Installation of spotdl (github page click here): https://i.imgur.com/5g6uUgD.png

https://paste.debian.net/plain/1293528 a very simple script, you don't actually need the script, but it makes it easier to download songs.

btw, I am using file manager nemo here, if you want something else, change it to your default file manager, if you don't want to open folder, well remove last but one line.

execute this command first and when nano text edit appears, paste the debian pastebin in there.

Do you download a video with matching title from Spotify on Youtube using yt-dlp, then use ffmpeg to convert it to mp3? Doesn't spotify offer better quality? I couldn't see where the script is on github. Sorry I'm a beginner and don't know where to look when it's too many files

apparently that' show they do it. I could not tell the difference. It's taking the music from youtube music if I am not wrong
