Preface#
Recently, I wanted to download my QQ Music playlists locally to prevent copyright expiration, but I couldn't find a suitable download tool until I discovered this GitHub project.
Project Link: https://github.com/QiuChenly/QQFlacMusicDownloader
I quickly tried it out, and the results were fantastic. It has the following advantages:
- Full-speed downloads, utilizing my bandwidth completely
- Supports NetEase Cloud members, QQ Music, Kuwo Music
- Has a front-end interface, with a very detailed tutorial, friendly for beginners
- Supports playlist and album downloads
Below, I will provide a simple usage tutorial using Windows as an example.
Installation Environment and Requirements#
Install Python 3.11.2#
According to the author, it is necessary to install python3.11.2
Download link: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.2/python-3.11.2-amd64.exe
I didn't try other versions and directly followed his recommendation, installing this version of Python.
Note that the author also emphasizes not to install Python in a path with spaces, such as Python's default path C:/Program Files(x86)/, which has spaces. Therefore, I installed it in another location, and remember to check the option to add it to the environment variables during installation.
Install Dependencies#
Clone the project to a location (not on the C drive, unless you only have one drive).
git clone [email protected]:QiuChenly/QQFlacMusicDownloader.git
Enter the directory.
cd QQFlacMusicDownloader
Install dependencies.
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
If the installation speed is too slow, you can set the mirror source before installing dependencies.
pip3 config set global.index-url https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple
Run#
Execute the command.
python3 MainServer.py
If there is no response, execute.
