JioSaavn Downloader

This extension is still in the works. It is not yet ready for production use. It is still in the early stages of development. Many features are missing and bugs are still being worked on.

The Download is working right but currently the files have no metatags.

Simple and effective extension to download Songs, Albums, or Playlists from jioSaavn.com with just one click. It also hides ads and promotions from JioSaavn Web and slightly tweaks the UI. Last but not least, it implements a long-awaited dark mode**.

Give it a star if you love the extension.

This extension is still in development, and some of its features are still in the making.

How It Works

It fetches data from the API endpoints of JioSaavn and organizes them in a useful manner. All this happens within the browser and does not rely on external servers.

After Fetching data it gets the URL of the song, album, or playlist in your desired quality settings. Then it creates an HTTP request to the server to fetch the M4A file. This step requires the CORS to be enabled in your browser. In previous builds, it requires you to use another extension, but in newer builds, it is baked in.

In the case of a Playlist or an Album, it fetches the songs in the playlist and then downloads them one by one and puts them inside a zip file to download at once.

I must acknowledge where credit is due. This project would not be possible without the help of the following people and their open-source projects.

  Gave the inspiration to build the extension.
• Tehhs / chrome-localhost-cors-unblocker
  Helped to make the extension completely standalone, and remove the requirement of any proxy server.

  Gave the concept of the JioSaavn API.

Their Projects help me a lot in developing this extension.
