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.

    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.
