zotify is the only one I know about that downloads directly from spotify. FOSS of course.
spotify-dl worked great for me
I think I started using this after spotify-ripper stopped working because of some library deprecation, but found it wasn’t as good. No album art or ID3 tags, which spotify-ripper did do.
Deezload2bot on telegram You can send spotify links and it will send you the mp3 files
Only mp3, not flac?
I use SpotTube to listen cross platform. But I think it pulls songs from YouTube but uses your Spotify account. You can also download the the songs in your ambum.
There’s zspotify which is the only one I know of, but on the rare occasion I want to download an album I just use doubledouble.top
How is the quality of the music downloaded from doubledouble?
One might also could patch something like librespot, so that it automatically saves all songs played as mp4. I heard. From a friend.
Wow. This is great.
Holy shit, thanks!
You can use this but it doesn’t really download directly from Spotify. Instead, it takes the song name from Spotify, searches it on YouTube, downloads it from YouTube and then adds metadata from Spotify on the downloaded file.
Shameless self-plug, but I made a Python program that basically does the exact same thing, except it has a web ui. It’s called MetaTube and it also supports other metadata providers, such as Musicbrainz and Deezer.
Did you copy Christoph Finks project?
I didn’t copy any project.
Although, I learnt Flask (the framework I use for this app) while developing MetaTube, and the project structure is heavily inspired by the excellent Flask guide by Miguel Grinberg. Check him out if you’re interested in learning Flask.
I’ve not looked too deeply but you may find this interesting then: https://gitlab.com/christophfink/metatube/-/tree/main/metatube
It’s a Python package written by Cristoph Fink that does what it sounds like yours does and it’s got the same name!!
I only discovered it cos I was gonna create an Arch (AUR) package of your MetaTube app until I noticed it already exists but for Christoph’s. So I got confused and realised you both have similar projects with the same name…???
Let me know if you’ve ‘crossed streams’ cos I’ve adopted his Arch (AUR) package (since it was orphaned) and I’m not sure what to do with it!! Either I create a new package with yours named slightly different or I replace the existing with yours? Also does yours have a Python Package at PyPi cos his does?
If not I can create one for you if you want but I gotta ask for Arch and PyPi - what do you want yours called? :/
If you haven’t forked his and developed it further I’ll probs just create a new package of yours but maybe gimme a hint what to name it?
Suggestion: I can name yours
metatubeon AUR since it’s pushed as a full app. His can stay aspython-metatubesince his is a PyPI package. How does that sound?ETA: I feel like I’m your band promoter/manager!! 😂
Ah well, that is a funny coincidence then. I guess neither Christoph Fink nor I were very creative with coming up with a name for our respective apps.
I’ve personally never heard of his project, but I can say that I haven’t published my package at the PyPi register. Although, I do have published it to the Docker Hub.
Maybe
metatube-uifor my package andmetatube-clifor his? Considering his package mainly runs from the CLI and mine is a web UI.
How’s the quality?
Without using the tool, my guess would be not that good (overall if it uses a “video” as the source instead the audio file that YT Music has), but I hope I’m wrong.
I like Spotiflyer and have been using it for probably a year but I think it uses rips from YouTube so a lot of people aren’t fans of the quality.
This shows up as a virtual device and uses the Spotify client to play into a virtual device. Works great and downloaded many things.
DownOnSpot is my personal favourite so far ^^
What quality are you getting from downloading from Spotify?
Personally, I use Deezer + Deemix to download FLAC for offline play and it’s great!
Thought Deemix was dead? I went looking for an updated version last month and couldn’t find anything.
It is dead, but the app still works.
No forks? Weird it’d be abandoned if it still works.
Do you need a paying account for it to work? I didn’t realise all these piracy apps existed for music on Linux. They completely passed me by!
I think you do need an account (which could be trials) because you have to use an ARL or your credentials to login to Deemix with.
I personally pay for a Deezer family plan and just use offline play mainly for my car.
From what I remember MP3DownloadNet uses the Deezer API to download MP3s and FLAC. I used to collect music with this site before it all the ads but it seems like it’s still working.
No, you don’t need to pay for it. There are plenty of telegram bots and free premium ARLs on the net
320kbit/s Opus. It’s pretty okay, but there’s some compression (in the audio sense) going on, so that some songs sound very noticeably worse. Tool for example lost all its, well, toolness.
Don’t
free-mp3-download net
How is quality compared to tidal? Been ripping lossles flacs from it for a while now.
Is there some service that looks at your Spotify or YouTube Music playlist and downloads FLAC versions of those songs from somewhere else.
I’m the idiot who uses YouTube Music
My condolences, not my area of expertise
couple extra steps, but I think I can use another application to copy over my playlists to Spotify and then I can use your link. Thank you!
I don’t have answers that haven’t already been said, but I’ll give a recommendation to Seeker as a means of downloading music outside of streaming apps. It’s just a fantastic app for torrenting entire albums from in mp3, ogg, and FLAC format. I’ve downloaded dozens of gigs of music off it so far and will likely have to grab a terabyte micro SD card for my phone.
It brings a tear of joy to my eye when I see someone promoting soulseek.
Soulseek is an old friend who I can credit most my music taste to.
Soulseek introduced me to so much new music! It was also the first software I had encountered that would randomize its port on connect – or at least let you customize it – to avoid firewalls.
spotDL (not spotify-dl) is a good CLI option.

Yo may want to try OnTheSpot
