I do want to move away from Spotify since they randomly drop previously available songs from time to time, but I have some 500 songs in a playlist. Is there a way to easily RIP all of it in good quality? spotify-dl is simply insufficient in terms of quality and accuracy. Has anyone used zotify? Does it work? I might get a second account and try, if anyone can tell me if it worked for them.
First of all, this might now answer your question fully, but..
spotify-dl uses youtube music to download stuff, and if you have youtube premium you can get higher quality downloaded, I think it does opus 128 or 156 kbit, and the sound is quite good.
tidal, deezer, or qobuz have cd or hi-res quality songs, and there are utils that help you get stuff from their service. qobuz-dl's the one I have been experimenting with. Obviously you need subscription for it, but spotify is generally shit.
Apart from that I used few other sources to get my music.
Seems like I need to quit Spotify. Three q's: Is Deezer more ethical? Is Deezer paying artists? Where does Deezer source it's music? I know I could look it up but you seem to know about this stuff. Thanks!
Is Spotify dropping the songs or are the record companies?
Not sure. Might be either.
I switched to tidal hifi for a month and downloaded all songs in highest flac audio quality with lyrics and all. In total about over 1000 songs.
I'll need a nice way to move the playlist to Tidal in that case.
I used tunemymusic. I think up to 500 songs it's free but the premium is only 2$/month. Also you will need to buy tidal hifi for one month which is very expensive. To download the tracks I used tidal-dl.
I have to admit that this is not the cheapest way to obtain music but it is probably the only way to download exactly the tracks you want from various different albums and artists in high-res audio quality.
Please tag me when answering to this, thankyou
