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.

Spytify and a VM. Let it run and rip to a network share.

Use @deezertogdrivebot on telegram, it can rip from Deezer and support boths Spotify and Deezer links and even playlist is supported and gives you zip file link

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.

So, the way I did it, I used Librespot as a base and modified the code. It was a good introduction to Rust.

Try slavart dot gamesdrive dot net (or use their server on divolt.xyz)

Their website lets you search for songs and download them, or their Divolt for using a bot that lets you type $dl link-to-song and it’ll send you a download link.

Also the Divolt bot supports Spotify, Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, and if I remember correctly Apple Music links.

Music slav on divolt. Plop in the link to the playlist/album into the download request then wait for it to download and zip it and you download from there. Max 100 tracks per playlist however.

It’s how I get my liked Spotify songs downloaded in mp3 with no DRM and throw them on my iPods.

Obviously a VPN is recommended

Works with FLACs off Deezer, Qobuz and Tidal as well

Edit: hmm looks like they’ve moved to discord now
