    All “Spotify downloaders” you’ll find actually fetch from YouTube, where quality is crap (if you care about it).

    Deemix is great. It’ll grab 128kbps for a free account, or 320kbps/FLAC if you have a premium account, or a working ARL. You can find some with a good search engine.

      That’s not quite true. There are tools that let you download directly from Spotify (e.g. Soggfy) and with a premium account you’ll get 320kb/s OGG files out of it, because that’s what Spotify uses internally. But since almost anything is also available on Deezer, downloading a lossless version from there is usually preferable.

        Thanks for correcting. I don’t know such tools that let you download directly from Spotify. Do you mind naming one ?

      Note this downloads from YouTube if an equivalent match is found. Quality will be 128kbps unless you have a YouTube Music subscription.

      This is info taken directly from the github link but useful to know.

      Spotify uses OGG Vorbis instead of FLAC, with my tool you can get unmodified OGGs from spotify or convert to any format you like !

      That is not possible, as Spotify only serves lossy files.

      You will need to download from Deezer or Tidsl for lossless FLAC files.

        That much I’m aware of, question is if there’s a convenient converter of playlist as well as a bulk download of said playlist, I know deemix is a thing which is how I initially got my playlists but having an expanding library is an issue as you can only download slowly a file at a time through other services
