Spotify music is all encrypted rather well (at-rest when downloaded and when streamed), so the best "automatic" option there is are bots that try to match Spotify songs with YouTube uploads and get those instead, but I've never found those to be super accurate for what I listen to.

If you need like CD quality≤, your best bet is just doing it all manually, either through torrent sites, DDL sites, or Soulseek.

Yes, the majority of what I found are bots that get you YouTube uploads which do not really work as music videos have like 30 secs of movie-like intros etc.

I started doing it manually, but it takes so much time, it would take me a few months to do it, feels like LimeWire days haha

don't get music from streaming services because it's too low quality. instead hunt for FLAC format. it's lossless.

i pay for spotify premium (yes i hate ads THAT much) and when i download songs with it for playing offline there's a weird high gate cutoff which i can clearly notice and sounds like a dogwhistle to me. pretty sure it's the encryption rather than the sound quality tho. don't go that option - it removes too much of the shape of the music, fuzzes out too many subtle details.

if you're willing to pay for it, bandcamp.

I've been using Tidal and quite liking it. Gotta check my playlist once a month though, licensing on tidal is kind of weird.

I like zotify. Installs easy on linix, paste in the link and down it comes. Quality is pretty good

You can set up lidarr to monitor a spotify playlist I believe if you're comfortable with the *arr stuff.

Check out deemix. Self hosted app that can use Spotify playlists and with a free month of premium account you can get FLAC quality

Use it while you can. Buy a month and rip as much possible.

if you are willing to put your music that you want into a YouTube playlist, you can just rip it straight from YouTube with jdownloader

I’m not familiar with Spotify, but could something like stationRipper work?

I know you can do it with lidarr but that takes a little setup, once you set it up though you can have it always sync with your Spotify so new playlists or artists you follow will be added to the queue

It's not a website rather an app, Spotube (although it's a bit buggy) would allow you to download your play lists from various "free" sites.
