Are you struggling with install?

Install

I personally use Linux, but the instructions should be about the same on Windows.

Prerequisites

Make sure these programs are already on your computer:

• Python (3.9+)
• pip (make sure you download a compatible version of pip! -- if I'm not mistaken, on Windows, the official Python 3 installer will have a setting within it to auto install pip)
• git
• ffmpeg

Install Zotify

• Open a command prompt (for Windows, see "Powershell").
• Enter the following command: python -m pip install git+https://zotify.xyz/zotify/zotify.git
  • You may see an error No module named pip. You need to install pip to your python version. Make sure if you have more than one version of Python installed you are using the right one.
  • You may see the error error: externally-managed-environment. If should give you instructions after the error message for how to fix this issue - creating a virtual environment. This can be done with the command python -m venv ./python-zotify (with any folder directory name or location). Then, just change the commands in this tutorial - wherever a command contains python, replace that with ./python-zotify/bin/python. Run that first command again, with this change (./python-zotify/bin/python -m pip install git+https://zotify.xyz/zotify/zotify.git). If you do not see this error (I don't believe windows is externally managed), do not follow these directions.
• Zotify should now be installed on your computer!

Use Zotify

• Open a command prompt
• Type the command: python -m zotify to search for a song. You can also directly download by specific links to tracks, albums, playlists, etc. like this: python -m zotify https://open.spotify.com/....
• You should be prompted to enter a username. You can use either your long username (NOT your profile name, you do not set your own username - you can see your username at https://www.spotify.com/us/account/profile/), OR your account's email address.
• After you've entered your username or email, you should be prompted to enter your password.
• If all goes well, and you didn't specify a URL earlier, the next prompt should be "Enter search:" This should function basically just like the built-in Spotify search.
• It will take a second and then give you a handful of results, sequentially numbered, under TRACKS, ALBUMS, ARTISTS, and PLAYLISTS.
• Find the result that you want to download, and just type the number that's right next to the name, and hit Enter.
  • You can also select multiple results at the same time with commas between the numbers!!
• While it's working, you may see errors that look like this: Spotify API Error (unknown): received an empty response, Skipping lyrics: lyrics not available. These errors just mean that there are no lyrics for Zotify to download for the track.
• Any errors other than that mean something happened that prevented it from downloading a song. If you were downloading multiple songs at once, then the other songs will still have downloaded! -- just the one that failed did not download correctly.

On Linux, the downloads are by default routed to the folder ~/Music/Zotify Music. I'm not sure where on Windows, but it's probably very similar.

Hope this helped you
