Hi,

I have a playlist with around 5000 songs. What is the best way for me to migrate from Spotify so I can actually have them, unencrypted, on a physical device. I am tired of songs being taken out of my playlist due to licensing issues.

Sign up for a free trial of Deezer and user Deemix-Gui to download your Spotify playlist in flac format.

Afaik, free deezer accounts can only pull 128kbps mp3, no flacs.

Deezer Premium accounts can download flac, hence the free trial.

You also used to be able to use disposable debit cards and email aliases to get unlimited free trials but I think most companies have put a stop to this now.

It says that deezer premium is not available in my country, should I use a VPN to bypass that?

You can try but you night be required to have a payment method from whichever country you're signing up from.

This is exactly what I did a couple months ago. Free trialed deezer, exported the playlist in batches of 500 through songshift. Dled the whole thing.

Although I have to say around 2 to 3% of songs were not found on deezer.
