Is there a way to download (rip) music from spotify library. Let’s say i have a playlist, i would like to have it in mp3 format at selected quality. Many thanks, arrgh you booty lovers!

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!
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.
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.
Tidal-dl is simply incredible. Lots of folks out there using this to get rips of new music to upload to sites like RED.
You can use Audacity to record from the Speaker output internally. Just make sure there isn’t anything else running that could interfere or make noise (anything connected to push notifications), and you should definitely make sure volume isn’t too high else it’ll peak and distort.
Avoid Spotify Downloaders, they are a Scam that often just searches for the music on YouTube. For true Spotify exclusives (or ones that just aren’t on YouTube) the songs from those will be wrong, or if they’re a downloader that is better at matching the songs, will just error because it couldn’t find it.
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.
Upvoted. It is literally impossible for 99.99% of the population to tell the difference between a good LAME mp3 encode and the original. If someone is working with the audio, making their own remixes and such, they can benefit from lossless/higher bit depth/higher sample rate though.
There were shitty mp3 encoders like Blade in the past (planted by the music industry?) that are easy to hear a difference, and if dealing with files from an unknown source one can only make an educated guess with a spectrogram as to the files’ lineage. Example: Was it a Blade mp3 from Napster burned to audio CD that some moron ripped and posted as flac?
Source: old Hydrogenaudio forums and personally been Exact Audio Copying to flac for over 20 years. Had (modded? custom? can’t recall) Envy24 drivers on WinXP for bit-perfect S/PDIF output of “bit-perfect” CD rips. It was overkill but fairly easy to get the digital part perfect, then the analog part can be subjective… never used special stones, or coat hangers as speaker wire. 🤣
Use zotify. You can download higher quality if you have premium of course.
