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
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’m not a fan of YouTube’s audio compression algorithm (optimized for saving google’s bandwidth but sounds awful on higher fidelity audio setups). If quality is a concern, I can’t recommend slskd enough
My favorite open secret of the internet. It's crazy to think how long that network has been running. I think I stumbled on it around 2003. Thanks for pointing out this client. I've been relying on a rickety container build that uses novnc and nicotine+ to give a quasi-portable experience. It will be nice to ditch that, hopefully.
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 it will save a .ogg file to your PC. Supports 320kb/s and it automatically tags files and downloads artwork.
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.
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.
