Zotify

A music and podcast downloader needing only a python interpreter and ffmpeg.

Discord Server

Install

Dependencies:

- Python 3.9 or greater
- ffmpeg*

Installation:

python -m pip install https://gitlab.com/team-zotify/zotify/-/archive/main/zotify-main.zip

*Windows users can download the binaries from ffmpeg.org and add them to %PATH%. Mac users can install it via Homebrew by running brew install ffmpeg. Linux users should already know how to install ffmpeg, I don't want to add instructions for every package manager.

Command line usage

Basic command line usage:
  zotify <track/album/playlist/episode/artist url>   Downloads the track, album, playlist or podcast episode specified as a command line argument. If an artist url is given, all albums by specified artist will be downloaded. Can take multiple urls.

Basic options:
  (nothing)        Download the tracks/alumbs/playlists URLs from the parameter
  -d, --download   Download all tracks/alumbs/playlists URLs from the specified file
  -p, --playlist   Downloads a saved playlist from your account
  -l, --liked      Downloads all the liked songs from your account
  -s, --search     Searches for specified track, album, artist or playlist, loads search prompt if none are given.

Options

All these options can either be configured in the config or via the commandline, in case of both the commandline-option has higher priority.
Be aware you have to set boolean values in the commandline like this: --download-real-time=True

Docker Usage - CURRENTLY BROKEN

Build the docker image from the Dockerfile:
  docker build -t zotify .
Create and run a container from the image:
  docker run --rm -u $(id -u):$(id -g) -v "$PWD/zotify:/app" -v "$PWD/config.json:/config.json" -v "$PWD/Zotify Music:/Zotify Music" -v "$PWD/Zotify Podcasts:/Zotify Podcasts" -it zotify

Will my account get banned if I use this tool?

Currently no user has reported their account getting banned after using Zotify.

It is recommended you use Zotify with a burner account. Alternatively, there is a configuration option labled DOWNLOAD_REAL_TIME, this limits the download speed to the duration of the song being downloaded thus appearing less suspicious. This option is much slower and is only recommended for premium users who wish to download songs in 320kbps without buying premium on a burner account.

Use Zotify at your own risk, the developers of Zotify are not responsible if your account gets banned.

What do I do if I see "Your session has been terminated"?

If you see this, don't worry! Just try logging back in. If you see the incorrect username or password error, reset your password and you should be able to log back in.
