You can try Votify, but it requires Widevine L3 keys
- Already mention SpotDL
- Spowlo - android app (uses
spotdlunder the hood) - Spotifydown - website
These aren’t actual Spotify downloaders:
spotDL finds songs from Spotify playlists on YouTube and downloads them
Source: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader/blob/master/README.md
I would transfer the playlist to Tidal (there are services out there that will import everything for a few dollars), then use Tidal-dl. The quality is much higher.
I use https://github.com/casualsnek/onthespot . it works well but requires a Spotify account.
This looks to be abandoned, but there is an updated fork that works excellent: https://github.com/justin025/onthespot
I knew it was unmaintainable, but it still worked. Nice to see there’s a fork.
Take a look at https://github.com/zotify-dev/zotify
Apps like Spotube (on F-Droid) allow you to just download the tracks.
Spotube only gets the metadata from Spotify. It pulls the actual audio track from YouTube, so the quality is nowhere near as good as on Spotify.
The more you know. Thanks for correcting me. I’ve been using it for a while and didn’t know that.
I use Spotdl: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader
It’s a python based CLI tool. You run the command and link to song/playlist/album and it basically looks on YT for the song, downloads the audio, the artwork and metadata.
It’s what I’ve been using since I cancelled Spotify last year and decided to own my own library again
This is very cool, but does it something that actually downloads music from Spotify? For a better audio quality…?
adding the flag --bitrate 320k usually does it for me. I can’t really tell the difference.
I don’t know of something that actually downloads from Spotify. The audio on the YouTube music links are fine for me, so I never looked elsewhere
This is what I was looking for: https://aussie.zone/comment/14715853
Use zotify. You can download higher quality if you have premium of course.
+1 for zotify. An actual Spotify downloader, not just some YouTube downloader with Spotify search.
SpotiFlyer (dead by now) or Soundbound.
Are theses actual rippers, or do they grab the song from elsewhere ?
Not tried it in years, but there was an app called fildo which I think you could give it a playlist url. It was buggy af though.
Hook up a Sony Walkman to your headphone port and hit the red round button
Ahhh, my old nemesis… Analog Gap! I knew we’d meet again some day!
I’ve been using Spytify for a long time.
Ditto, it’s very capable and easy to use
I know it’s not great, but at the end of the day, a second sound card recording the first one gets the job done. I have loads of rips I did that way. It’s kind of annoying to splice the samples and re-encode them with the correct tags though. But by the time you figure out how to rip something directly, you may find that re-recording the audio is quicker.
Ah yes, the modern day equivalent of recording radio broadcasts to magnetic tape. Made a few mixtapes that way myself. They were absolute garbage quality and I never listen to them anymore, but it was an interesting exercise and my only option for some stuff at the time.
Now I just buy as directly from the artist as I can for things that are rare enough that they are difficult to pirate.
we were “clever” and called the ka-chunk tapes because of the terrible song transitions. Yes Bandcamp has been my purchase site for a while now
It’s better to avoid re-encoding as it lose quality.
Of course it is, no question. But when there’s no other choice…
Soggfy rips the audio and data from the stream itself as music plays on your machine. No searching the web for the music, no mistakes.
It works well, i hear.
