Show HN: Potty – A Python CLI tool to download Spotify music using yt-dlp

1 ssenssei 0 8/8/2025, 5:32:52 PM github.com ↗

I built Potty, a modular command-line tool in Python that lets you download music from Spotify by leveraging yt-dlp. It features interactive menus for downloads and management, system resource checks to optimize performance, playlist imports, metadata embedding, retrying failed downloads, and more — all wrapped in a colorful, user-friendly terminal interface.

The project aims to be a clean, maintainable alternative for managing Spotify track downloads offline, with batch operations, duplicate detection, and detailed logging.
