Is there a way to automatically locally save Spotify music as I listen to it? Or to access/convert the files that Spotify saves for offline playback?

    You can look into Spotify Downloader spotdl, a Python package here: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

    It doesn’t download as you listen, but it’ll do something smart and download all the tracks of a playlist/album/etc by grabbing high-quality audio from Youtube videos (and it magically avoids dreaded music video versions) if you feed it a Spotify URL. It also puts all the metadata in the tracks automatically.

      Tip for anyone else that uses this: make sure your playlist is public or it can’t download it. That seems really obvious now, but it didn’t occur to me initially lol.
