Hi,

I have a playlist with around 5000 songs. What is the best way for me to migrate from Spotify so I can actually have them, unencrypted, on a physical device. I am tired of songs being taken out of my playlist due to licensing issues.

Sign up for a free trial of Deezer and user Deemix-Gui to download your Spotify playlist in flac format.

Afaik, free deezer accounts can only pull 128kbps mp3, no flacs.

Deezer Premium accounts can download flac, hence the free trial.

You also used to be able to use disposable debit cards and email aliases to get unlimited free trials but I think most companies have put a stop to this now.

It says that deezer premium is not available in my country, should I use a VPN to bypass that?

[–] Carter@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can try but you night be required to have a payment method from whichever country you're signing up from.

that sucks, guess i have to do some extra work then.

I used spotdl to download mine. Though it grabs your music from YouTube, not from Spotify itself (downloads MP3s from YouTube) https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

[–] Supermariofan67@programming.dev 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used this too. Btw, YouTube does not serve mp3 files. It serves Opus files and (low quality) m4a files. If you select the mp3 output option with spotdl, it converts them to mp3 and you lose quality. To get the highest quality, you must chose the opus option.

Thanks for the info!

[–] CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Yooo I was thinking of getting rid of Spotify, so ty for sharing this!

[–] Xirup@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

IMO this is the best option.

[–] kniescherz@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe the easiest but not quality wise.

[–] MrShelbs@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

For sure. I prefer audio quality but this was easy to use.

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I'm definitely going to have to do this

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

There's a Deezer bot on telegram that takes Spotify playlist links. Just paste it in there and download the whole thing.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 5 points 2 years ago

Check out FMHY's list of Spotify downloaders. That said the first step would be to make the playlist public.

After that you could just use something like Spotiflyer and download them. If you want high quality audio files though you might have to look around a bit
