As per title. New releases especially are quite hard to find on other clients or p2p resources; what’s the best way to get them from the source so that I can share them back?

      Direct links aren’t allowed, you need to edit that. We can talk about piracy, but no linking.

        I think you misunderstood the rule about not linking to pirated content.

          Maybe. I suppose we could always report the comments linking directly, and let the admin decide, couldn’t we?

            No, you have misunderstood what the rule is about.

            You’re not allowed to link to pirated content, such as a download link to the Barbie movie.

            But you’re free to link to places that discuss the Barbie movie, places that discuss where to watch the Barbie movie, and places that teaches you how you can rip the Barbie movie yourself.

            The only things you cannot link to, are direct links to pirated content

            Go ahead. The rule is about copyrighted content, not open source tools.

      And also the app is more beautiful than the original Spotify app.

    It still works flawlessly

      I’ve been told that in Telegram you can find bots to download music from Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Deezer. Probably Spotify too, but those are the ones I know.

        Depending on the bot you might not know where the audio is coming from. Most tools I know of download from youtube and add metadata (title, album, artist, …) but sometimes also include noise from a music video.

        Though Bots in general are awesome.

      Lidarr can do this, but it downloads the full album of each song which may or may not be a feature in your use case.

      See my comment below for tools that do download directly from Spotify.

      According to the readme it downloads the songs from youtube or other sources and then adds metadata after reencoding. This means tracks might include unwanted audio from a yt music video.

      But I also used tools like this in the past, they work great.

    For listening, I use:

    1. SpotX for Windows
    2. xManager for Android. For downloading songs in my Spotify playlist, I use Spowlo for Android. It downloads songs at the specified quality (I choose 320 kbps and but you can download even in FLAC; I chose FLAC for some songs). So far, it has been able to download all my 1910 songs from my personal playlist.

    Is Spotify generally the highest digital format of music files available? Or do people source music through other paid or unpaid methods?
