The spotify app keeps getting worse by the week. At this point it won’t load my saved song list at all when I’m offline. While writing this, it just crashed in the background.
So I’ve finally had enough and started looking for a ripper to use a different player app.
But try and google for one and you’ll be surprised, the only reasonable results are github repos from 5 years ago and before you find one of those, you get a bunch of AI generated trash and some paid services whose websites also look very AI-generated.
Are there any proper ways to do this? Alternative spotify apps exist (though they don’t seem to be very usable yet) so I’m sure there’s a way to get something from the API, even if it means I need to register for API access.
I literally made my own. Pulls down the OGG directly and saves it, then uses Spotify’s own APIs to correctly tag the file
Sounds like a good idea. Zotify keeps throwing meter-long stacktraces at me about SSL errors that I assume are API rate limits because there’s less of them when I use real-time downloading.
Maybe it’s even a nice project for an android app because zotify doesn’t run there yet.
