I strongly believe that Spotify should be removed as a suggestion and added to the incumbent/boycott category due to the reasons already mentioned in the red warning box. I urge everyone to cancel their subscriptions and when you cancel they will ask why, please mention the reason you canceled is because Spotify gave billions to Joe Rogan who’s basically a lie and propaganda factory.

Spotify is a pillar of support for the Trump regime. Spotify’s CEO donated $150000 to Trump and hosted brunch for him. He also did the typical billionaire hissy fit threatening to leave Sweden unless they make tax cuts. He’s just another right-wing billionaire and not worth your support.

    I’ve mirrored everything to my jellyfin.

    Could you specify? Can you download songs somehow from Spotify with some kind of tool? I have a subscription.

      I don’t know if there is a tool for Spotify but there was for deezer and tidal. I used the tidal downloader for some, some are vinyl rips done by a friend, and some of the rarer ones from the musician’s site or other means. One thing I’ve noticed is bonus tracks in lidarr aren’t always on streaming platforms.

        I find a lot of bands I follow upload deluxe versions of albums on Spotify.

        But if you would: is the Tidal tool official or “nah 🏴‍☠️”? 😅

          its not official but I like to think of it like instead of paying and downloading the same song again every time I listen to it, I pay and download it once, then leave a playlist on loop on a spare tablet so artists get their listen counts. downloader was called tidal dl ng iirc

          also the deluxe versions usually exist in other formats like vinyl or cd but I found on streaming services sometimes the last 1-3 tracks are just not there, or some weird cases where on streaming the song exists but on youtube or something there is a loger version

      Hehe. Your right to listen your music on Spotify ends when you end your subscription.

      So, I’m going to say yes, there is probably such tool, but the legality might be questionable. I’m not saying it to oppose your intention, I’m just saying it so that you’re aware.

      Now, if you don’t care about the legal aspect, I think there are better download sources with higher quality audio than what Spotify offers.
