Seems they recently changed something on Spotify and all the tools I’ve tried fail now. And DownOnSpot which seems promising has received a cease and desist letter and got taken down. What do you people use? I want something that actually fetches the audio from Spotify, not just rip it from YouTube. And it has to work as of now. Does the latest commit from DownOnSpot work? Back when I tested it a few weeks ago it failed due to some API changes. Are there other tools floating around?
Zotify seems to work but i got logged out of all my devices when i used it.
+1 for zotify. I simply created a burner account for it, because it works fine with a free account. But I never had any issues with it.
Free accounts do work just fine but if I remember correctly you end up with slightly lower sound quality
Soggfy works perfectly as of Monday when I last used it.
You download a modified version of Spotify and then it rips the audio Spotify itself is sending rather than locating poor quality yt versions etc. If you pay for premium then you can get 320 mp3s or ogg files.
I’ve been using this for a little over a year and never once had an issue with it so worth checking out :)
Not trying to add FUD, but have there ever been cases of Spotify banning people for using their paid license to run homebrew versions of Spotify?
Not that I have read about but I also haven’t looked to try and find out if it is a thing. I play everything I’m ripping at no faster than 2x in the hopes that it looks like normal enough activity whilst still saving me some time.
As I have said though I have been using soggfy for over a year now, ripping probably around 5000 tracks at a guess and had no issues what so ever :)
fmhy.net has some tools listed in their audio ripping section that might work, haven’t tested them myself.
Awesome name
Spotydown.media worked for me, but sometimes it gets stuff so wildly wrong that i am guessing he pulls the stuff from another library and takes the closest match for the name. Doesnt seem to be YouTube though, never had intros, outros or music video noises
YouTube Music has all the album versions even though some of them are hidden from normal YouTube search
I used a program called Spotiflyer which also pulled from questionable sources. I was downloading a playlist to play at a party and I got the Plankton (from Spongebob) AI cover of “Dear Maria” which absolutely cracked me up when I found it.
Spotube uses the Spotify API for playlists but YouTube PipeAPI and other sources for music streaming.
