The spotify app keeps getting worse by the week. At this point it won’t load my saved song list at all when I’m offline. While writing this, it just crashed in the background.

So I’ve finally had enough and started looking for a ripper to use a different player app.

But try and google for one and you’ll be surprised, the only reasonable results are github repos from 5 years ago and before you find one of those, you get a bunch of AI generated trash and some paid services whose websites also look very AI-generated.

Are there any proper ways to do this? Alternative spotify apps exist (though they don’t seem to be very usable yet) so I’m sure there’s a way to get something from the API, even if it means I need to register for API access.

    most of those services require a paid tidal plan to access higher quality downloads, and tidal / qobuz / etc aren’t available in my country for some reason

      It’s worth it when you can have it (forever). There’s always some price of admission, nothing in piracy is ever really free. You can certainly circumvent any blockades with a VPN and find a way to use crypto to fund the paid plan.
