- download songs, albums, public playlists from Deezer.com (account is required, free plan is enough)
- download Spotify playlists (by parsing the Spotify website and download the songs from Deezer)
- download as zip file (including m3u8 playlist file)
320 kbit/s(currently only 128 kbit/s, see this issue) mp3s with ID3-Tags and album cover- download songs via yt-dlp
- KISS (keep it simple and stupid) front end
- MPD integration (use it on a Raspberry Pi!)
- simple REST api
- proxy support (https/socks5)
There is a settings file template called settings.ini.example. You can specify the download directory with download_dir. Pressing the download button only downloads the song/album/playlist. If you set use_mpd=True in the settings.ini the backend will connect to mpd (localhost:6600) and update the music database. Pressing the play button will download the music. If use_mpd=True is set the mpd database will be updated and the song/album/playlist will be added to the playlist. In settings.ini music_dir should be the music root location of mpd. The download_dir must be a subdirectory of music_dir.
As Deezer sometimes requires a captcha to login the auto login features was removed. Instead you have to manually insert a valid Deezer cookie to the settings.ini. The relevant cookie is the arl cookie. Important: The ARL cookie must be of a non-premium account!

You can use the Docker image hosted on hub.docker.com. Login into your free Deezer account and grab the arl cookie. Then:
mkdir downloads
sudo docker run -p 5000:5000 --volume $(pwd)/downloads/:/mnt/deezer-downloader --env DEEZER_COOKIE_ARL=changeme kmille2/deezer-downloader:latest
xdg-open http://localhost:5000vagrant up
vagrant ssh
sudo vim /opt/deezer/settings.ini # insert your Deezer cookie
cd /opt/deezer && sudo poetry run deezer-downloader --config settings.ini
# On the host:
xdg-open http://localhost:5000 # view frontend in the browser
ncmpcpp -h 127.0.0.1 # try the mpd clientWe use it with nginx and ympd as mpd frontend
- / goes to ympd
- /d/ goes to the downloader
The deployment directory contains a systemd unit file and a nginx vhost config file. There is also a patch to add a link to the ympd frontend. The debug tab will show you the debug output of the app.Shortcuts
If you want to debug or build it from source: there is a docker-compose file in the docker directory. The docker/downloads directory is mounted into the container and will be used as download directory. You have to check the permissions of the docker/downloads directory as docker mounts it with the same owner/group/permissions as on the host. The deezer user in the docker container has uid 1000. If you also have the uid 1000 then there should be no problem. For debugging: sudo docker-compose build --force-rm && sudo docker-compose up

- use poetry as build system
- build package and uploada to pypi
- worker threads now "daemon threads" (they now just stop if you stop deezer-downloader)
- update config template (remove http.debug)
- update dependencies
- switch to waitress (from gunicorn)
- replace youtube-dl by yt-dl
- update third party dependencies
- fix broken deezer download functionality (#66, removes the ability to download flac quality)
- update third party dependencies
- update ubuntu base image for the docker container
- allow to set download quality (flac|mp3) via environment variable DEEZER_FLAC_QUALITY (#43)
- feature: download your favorite Deezer songs
- automated tests with Github Actions
- push Docker image to hub.docker.com with Github Actions
- breaking change: now use the
arlcookie instead of thesidcookie. This cookie does not expire so we don't need the background thread that keeps the session alive - add support for flac as download format
- thanks to luelista for the contribution!
- play 30 second preview in browser
- add Vagrantfile
- show album cover in search results
- use a threaded queue for download tasks
- list album songs
