Car-Fi Spotify (Mac)

Download your favourite Spotify playlist contents.

Prerequisites

To use Car-Fi Spotify you will need ffmpeg. The simplest way to install ffmpeg on Mac OS X is with Homebrew.

Once you have Homebrew installed install ffmpeg from the Terminal with the following:

$ brew install ffmpeg

Spotify

Create a new Spotify Application and get the ClientID and ClientSecret.

YouTube

You will need a YouTube API v3 key: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started

Configuration

Before use you will need to update the config.json file with:

• FFMPEG path: path to ffmpeg installed either with brew or as a binary
• brew default:
  /usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/[CURRENT_VERSION]/bin/ffmpeg
• YouTube key: Used to call the YouTube API
• Spotify:
  • API ClientID
  • API ClientSecret
  • Public Playlist Id: public playlist that you'd like to download
  • SpotifyUserId: owner of the above playlist
• Optional: music folder (defaults to ./music/)

Temporary AppleScript USB solution

Drop the carfi.sh into your USB memory stick main folder for the AppleScript to pick up. It will pop up an alert to confirm you plugged in the correct device and then another alert after it's finished copying your playlist songs to the USB drive.

You will probably need to modify your the carfi.sh with the cloned git repo location.

You will also need to put the runOnUSB.scpt in ~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Folder Actions/ to make it run the AppleScript on USB.
