Thank you for making me discover spotDL
Upvoting because I'm also curious about backing up my spotify library. In a world of advancing enshitification of services on every front, it's better to be prepared.
I'm using Deemix for that, unless there's a specific track that doesn't exist on Deezer servers the whole playlist should be downloaded.
I will check Deemix out then for sure, thanks so much for the recommendation! I will come back if I have any questions!
Hey, just wanted to slightly highjack your post to ask, Is there a way to do this with YouTube Music? I was looking the other day and I know I can download YouTube video to mp3 one at a time, but I was trying to find a way to download whole playlists from YTM. Saw some shady looking software that wanted $30 or so but couldn't find if it was legit or not.
You want yt-dlp. It's a command line app, but it's pretty simple to use. For example, to download a whole playlist to best quality audio, regardless of if the main URL is pointing to a video or playlist, you can do
yt-dlp --yes-playlist -x <url>
If you specifically want mp3 format, you could do
yt-dlp --yes-playlist -x --audio-format mp3 <url>
Thank you, this looks exactly like I wanted.
hey sorry if other people have already answered this, but you can usually use jdownloader to rip audio straight out of youtube. I've been doing that for ages, but sometimes the playlists I want to rip have way more tunes than I want to rip and the quality is all over the place so I want more consistency. It works really well though if you want to curate your own youtube playlists and then rip them.
It should be noted that this also works with video in youtube too- you can rip your favorite videos in their entirety
Use DownOnSpot to directly download from spotify server, and since it is command-line based it can be automated. Although you need to compile the binary yourself and some skill on using shell script. No idea if it can bypass region lock (maybe VPN will works?).
I will look into this. The idea of having to do coding scares me, as I am not the best with it, but I have tinkered around with it before. Thanks for the suggestion!
