Options:

    -h, --help                   output usage information

So if you wanted to download "Top 100 Hip-Hop Tracks on Spotify". You would use the following command:

spd -u yourusername -p yourpassword -l spotify:user:spotify:playlist:06KmJWiQhL0XiV6QQAHsmw

spd is the shorthand for spotify-playlist-downloader. You can use either one.

Must haves:

• Spotify Premium Account ( haven't tried it on a free account )
• Only tested on Mac OSX 10.10 ( Should work on Linux and Windows as well??? )
