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.
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.
- 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

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.
Take a look at https://github.com/zotify-dev/zotify
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
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.
I’ve been using Spytify for a long time.
Ditto, it’s very capable and easy to use
I use https://github.com/casualsnek/onthespot . it works well but requires a Spotify account.
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.
You can try Votify, but it requires Widevine L3 keys
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.
It’s better to avoid re-encoding as it lose quality.
Of course it is, no question. But when there’s no other choice…
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
