The spotify app keeps getting worse by the week. At this point it won’t load my saved song list at all when I’m offline. While writing this, it just crashed in the background.
So I’ve finally had enough and started looking for a ripper to use a different player app.
But try and google for one and you’ll be surprised, the only reasonable results are github repos from 5 years ago and before you find one of those, you get a bunch of AI generated trash and some paid services whose websites also look very AI-generated.
Are there any proper ways to do this? Alternative spotify apps exist (though they don’t seem to be very usable yet) so I’m sure there’s a way to get something from the API, even if it means I need to register for API access.

Just pirate everything.
The only music worth paying for is the one that comes on physical media or videogame soundtracks on Steam. 💿🎵
Pirating music isn’t as easy as it was back in the days of Napster. I tried for a year to get FLAC files from Usenet and it was hit or miss, that’s why I ended up subscribing to Spotify. It’s just easier.
You’ve been out of the game for too long, friend. We have Lidarr now…among all the other tools mentioned here.
I feel like I’m posting the exact same comment a bit too often, but here it is: Zotify is the answer!
Looks great, but I get a lot of SSL errors without real tine downloading and one every 5 or so songs with it.
It’ll take a week or two to download 3000 songs, but running it periodically after that should be fine.
Use @deezertogdrivebot on telegram, it can rip from Deezer and support boths Spotify and Deezer links and even playlist is supported and gives you zip file link
What you’re looking for is OnTheSpot. Just ripped my library of a few thousand a few weeks ago, went very quickly and with full metadata.
Music slav on divolt. Plop in the link to the playlist/album into the download request then wait for it to download and zip it and you download from there. Max 100 tracks per playlist however.
It’s how I get my liked Spotify songs downloaded in mp3 with no DRM and throw them on my iPods.
Obviously a VPN is recommended
Works with FLACs off Deezer, Qobuz and Tidal as well
Edit: hmm looks like they’ve moved to discord now
