Just discovered #spotdl (https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader). It’s a great way to download songs from #youtube with metadata and lyrics, or to just quickly listen to that one song somebody sent you. Cli and webui are available and it’s very configurable

This thingie fails miserably when trying to listen to covers, alternate versions and the like. Most times it just plays a different version. And I hate that.
For anyone looking for actually downloading from Spotify, check out zotify
Spotify Downloader
looks inside
YouTube
And I would of gotten away with too if it wasn’t for meddling fediverts!
A really superb tool I’ve been using for a long time is the Soggfy desktop client. To use it you have to listen to a song in full, then to will save a .ogg file to your PC. Supports 320kb/s and it automatically tags files and downloads artwork.
At one point in history did it allow to download from Spotify or it’s just an intentionally misleading name?
It says it downloads songs from your Spotify playlist using youtube. Granted its not dling from spotify, but it is downloading the things you indicate on Spotify.
If you use Android, then this app uses spotdl. It’s really handy.
They need to make an open source version of the Hitster card game that lets you use this to listen to the whole song (if you choose) whether you have a Spotify account or not.
I love using Spotdl.
interesting, I’ve been using Musicbrainz myself but this seems a lot easier for songs available there
???
Isn’t Musicbrainz an info database like Discogs?
like the Picard thing they make
Okay, but, Picard is for managing an already existing library, not downloading new music…
EDIT: Ah, okay, I see what you’re getting at. Picard covers half the use case talked about in the OP, and that’s what you meant by “for songs available there.” Alright, I follow now, lol.
