OnTheSpot is a free, open-source media downloader that retrieves music and associated metadata from supported streaming platforms. It works with services including Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Qobuz, Tidal, and Bandcamp. Unlike downloaders that substitute content from unrelated sources, it aims to obtain files directly from the selected provider. Users can access the application through graphical, command-line, or web interfaces. The software supports managing downloads and organizing locally saved media collections. Service availability and accessible audio quality depend on the provider and account permissions. Built with Python, OnTheSpot offers installation through source packages and downloadable distributions. It is intended for personal, educational, and legally permitted media downloading.
