Seems they recently changed something on Spotify and all the tools I’ve tried fail now. And DownOnSpot which seems promising has received a cease and desist letter and got taken down. What do you people use? I want something that actually fetches the audio from Spotify, not just rip it from YouTube. And it has to work as of now. Does the latest commit from DownOnSpot work? Back when I tested it a few weeks ago it failed due to some API changes. Are there other tools floating around?
Soggfy works perfectly as of Monday when I last used it.
You download a modified version of Spotify and then it rips the audio Spotify itself is sending rather than locating poor quality yt versions etc. If you pay for premium then you can get 320 mp3s or ogg files.
I’ve been using this for a little over a year and never once had an issue with it so worth checking out :)
Not trying to add FUD, but have there ever been cases of Spotify banning people for using their paid license to run homebrew versions of Spotify?
Not that I have read about but I also haven’t looked to try and find out if it is a thing. I play everything I’m ripping at no faster than 2x in the hopes that it looks like normal enough activity whilst still saving me some time.
As I have said though I have been using soggfy for over a year now, ripping probably around 5000 tracks at a guess and had no issues what so ever :)
