I noticed your program (greatly built btw!) while I was searching for a suitable Spotify downlaoder for linux. For the Spotify downloaders in Github, they search for the song on YouTube, then they download it. Problem is, not all songs from Spotify are from YouTube. How exactly does this Spotify downloader work? Does it download from Spotify directly??

As far as I've seen, this downloader fetches only the metadata (title, artists, album cover, …) from Spotify and combines it with a song downloaded from Youtube.
