To install, obtain the installer from the official website . Click 'Download for Windows (.exe)' and download the Windows installer (EXE format). The file size is approximately 23.3MB.



Run the downloaded installer.



The installer will start, so click 'Next'.



Click 'Next'.



Click Install.



When the installation is complete, click 'Finish'.



Before you can use Spotube, you'll need to log in to

your Spotify account page and launch your browser's developer tools to obtain your cookie login information. This time, I am logging in with Firefox, and I will copy the values of 'sp_dc' and 'sp_gaid' in 'https://accounts.spotify.com' from 'Storage' to 'Cookies'.



Next, launch the installed Spotube. Click 'Search' in the left column.



Click 'Log in with your Spotify account'.



Click 'Connect to Spotify' under 'Account'.



The login screen will be displayed, so enter the value saved from the cookie on the account page and click 'Submit'.



When you successfully logged in, thumbnails of playlists, genres, etc. were displayed as shown below.



For example, when I searched for 'idol', a variety of songs were displayed. All songs are distributed on Spotify, but the sound source itself is not from Spotify but from YouTube Music etc. Spotify inserts ads if you are a free user, but Spotube allows you to listen to music for free and without ads. Songs can also be downloaded locally by clicking on the meatball icon on the right to register for download.



A context menu is displayed. If you select 'Download song', you can save the song data locally.
