Spotify downloader Chrome extension

No longer works. Patched by Spotify (PlayPlay token banned)...

Overview

SpotifyDL is a Chrome extension that allows users to download tracks, playlists, or albums directly from Spotify via their browser. The extension supports multiple audio formats and provides integrated decryption and metadata management.

Built using Manifest V3, you can review permissions in the manifest.json file.

Key Features

• Audio Formats Supported:
  • Ogg/Vorbis (96, 160, 320 Kbits/s) via PlayPlay CDM (source)
  • AAC (128, 256 Kbits/s) via Widevine CDM
• Integrated Decryption: Decrypts protected files and adds metadata using FFmpeg WASM.
• Parallel Downloads: Supports downloading multiple files simultaneously for faster processing.

Note: Widevine decryption requires a valid Widevine device, including an RSA Private Key (PEM or DER format) and a Client ID Blob.

Project Roadmap

• PlayPlay - Migrate decryption from node-forge to WebCrypto to enhance performance and prevent UI freezing.
• MP4 AAC - Add user settings for audio container and codec selection. Users can now choose the audio format when using FFmpeg via the settings interface.
• Error Handling - Improve error logging and implement user-friendly error popups to better inform users of issues.
