    Hook up a Sony Walkman to your headphone port and hit the red round button

    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.

      +1 for zotify. An actual Spotify downloader, not just some YouTube downloader with Spotify search.

    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.

    I understand these tools download music from spotify servers imitating that you are streaming or “downloading for offline listening”? Are there any risks of getting a ban on the account or something? It would be better if tool would extract already downloaded music for offline listening or intercept download when you press download on spotify on premium account.

      I don’t believe those tools download directly from Spotify. They use the Spotify api to gather the metadata then they download the files off YouTube.

      As I’ve seen others say, probably what you want to do is download them off Tidal or Quboz. Those YouTube rips suck.

      I just looked up, what about librespot? Does anyone have experience with it? Would that help to achieve such results?

    SpotiFlyer (dead by now) or Soundbound.

      Ditto, it’s very capable and easy to use

    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.

    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
