Mensible is a completely free software financed only by donations from generous users in order to offer you the possibility to download videos and music hosted on YouTube and Spotify for free. All you have to do is enter the URL of the video and you're done! The interface is simple and pleasant. You can download the music one by one or provide the link of a playlist and everything will be downloaded at the same time, convenient no? You can also customize the application via the settings.
In order to use the software on your computer, it must meet several requirements:
- Operating system: Linux, Windows (In progress...)
- Processor architecture: 64 bits recommended
- Informations: Internet access required and administrator rights are optional
Important
The software currently works with Python version 3.11.x
1. To install Mensible on your computer, you need to download the latest release.
2. Before you can launch the software, you must install its dependencies. Nothing could be simpler, just run this command at the root of the folder:
Note
Please note that depending on the configuration, the "python3" command may be replaced by "python" or even "py".
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
3. You can now run the main file of the program with Python:
python3 main.py
You are now ready to use Mensible!
Warning
Download the releases and do not clone the repo. It is a working tool in perpetual improvement. You expose yourself to bugs and instability (Except if you want to hunt bugs).
Spotify protects its music with DRM (Digital Rights Management), which means that no one can download the raw audio stream. To do this, Mensible retrieves the music informations and searches in YouTube for the most exact match. Once it finds it, it downloads it in audio format.
It can happen that some downloaded music is not the right one. This may be due to the fact that the music is not referenced on YouTube or that other similar music (a remix for example) is better referenced.
Important
API keys from your Spotify account are required to download music or podcasts.
