Glomatico's ✨ Apple Music ✨ Downloader

A Python script to download Apple Music songs/music videos/albums/playlists.

This is a rework of 661a274d62.

Some new features that I added:

• MP4Box for muxing
• Tags for music videos
• Multiple URLs input
• iTunes folder structure
• Embedded lyrics and .lrc file
• Auto set region
• Playlist support
• And much more!

Setup

1. Install Python 3.8 or higher
2. Install the required packages using pip:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Add MP4Box and mp4decrypt to your PATH
   • You can get them from here:
     • MP4Box: https://gpac.wp.imt.fr/downloads/
     • mp4decrypt: https://www.bento4.com/downloads/
4. Export your Apple Music cookies as cookies.txt and put it in the same folder as the script
   • You can export your cookies by using this Google Chrome extension on Apple Music website: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookies-txt/njabckikapfpffapmjgojcnbfjonfjfg. Make sure to be logged in.
5. Put your L3 CDM (device_client_id_blob and device_private_key files) on pywidevine/L3/cdm/devices/android_generic folder
   • You can get your L3 CDM by using wvdumper: https://github.com/wvdumper/dumper
