You can use this but it doesn't really download directly from Spotify. Instead, it takes the song name from Spotify, searches it on YouTube, downloads it from YouTube and then adds metadata from Spotify on the downloaded file.

Shameless self-plug, but I made a Python program that basically does the exact same thing, except it has a web ui. It's called MetaTube and it also supports other metadata providers, such as Musicbrainz and Deezer.

    There's zspotify which is the only one I know of, but on the rare occasion I want to download an album I just use doubledouble.top

    Is there some service that looks at your Spotify or YouTube Music playlist and downloads FLAC versions of those songs from somewhere else.

    This shows up as a virtual device and uses the Spotify client to play into a virtual device. Works great and downloaded many things.

    What quality are you getting from downloading from Spotify?

    Personally, I use Deezer + Deemix to download FLAC for offline play and it's great!

    Do you need a paying account for it to work? I didn't realise all these piracy apps existed for music on Linux. They completely passed me by!

    I think you do need an account (which could be trials) because you have to use an ARL or your credentials to login to Deemix with.

    I personally pay for a Deezer family plan and just use offline play mainly for my car.

    From what I remember MP3DownloadNet uses the Deezer API to download MP3s and FLAC. I used to collect music with this site before it all the ads but it seems like it's still working.

    Spytify but it is for windows only. You can use a vm for it. You got to have a premium acc to acces higher quality though.

    Personally i rip straight from tidal. Been thinking of making a few tb available on I2P soon.

    spotDL (not spotify-dl) is a good CLI option.

    I use SpotTube to listen cross platform. But I think it pulls songs from YouTube but uses your Spotify account. You can also download the the songs in your album.

    I don't have answers that haven't already been said, but I'll give a recommendation to Seeker as a means of downloading music outside of streaming apps. It's just a fantastic app for torrenting entire albums from in mp3, ogg, and FLAC format. I've downloaded dozens of gigs of music off it so far and will likely have to grab a terabyte micro SD card for my phone.

    I wish Lemmy had a better search function because this is a perennial topic. This might help:

    I like Spotiflyer and have been using it for probably a year but I think it uses rips from YouTube so a lot of people aren't fans of the quality.

    on fdroid for Android, there's an app called spotiflyer. you just have to move the songs from your device to wherever you want to store your music but you can rip whole Playlist of yours with it and it works quite well most of the time.

    I absolutely love how Much easier it is to pirate music over Spotify. Artists don't get shit either way.

    I usually use SlavArt to download MP3s and FLACs from streaming services: https://doubledouble.top

  • I used to have a command line app that could take a list of Spotify URLs, your credentials and allowed you to bulk download everything directly from Spotify. In my opinion the tools that use Youtube are worthless because they rarely work for the things I want. But I forgot the name of that tool and have been desperately looking for it every since, without success. This thread prompted me to look again and I found https://github.com/casualsnek/onthespot which does basically the same, but with a GUI. So far it works fine.
