I ditched most streaming services well over a year ago now, but Spotify has clung on because I have a playlist of around 2000 songs. I’ve set up Navidrome but now need to transfer all my music in the highest quality possible as efficiently as possible.
I tried lidarr some time ago, but it seemed to be based more around artists than individual songs and my indexer failed to find most of my library.
I’ve seen a couple of apps that will look at a playlist and then try to yt-dlp the song from YouTube but I’m worried about having a lower quality or different version. I’ve wondered if automating an “analog hole” type approach where I just pipe the audio of each song to a file and leave it playing overnight for a couple of weeks might actually be the best approach but that does seem a bit insane at this scale.
Soggfy was just the first thing I tried that worked without crawling for shitty yt downloads of the same things and so I stuck with it. If the audio quality is the same then I really don’t see what difference it makes in the grand scheme of things.
I will try out zotify so thanks for the name but it isn’t like it will be any quicker as I’ll still do everything in “real time” as I want to maintain my account and not get banned as it is a family plan and I don’t want to negatively impact the other people that use the same plan.
Also I know people love to use command line but soggfy is just a modified Spotify client so I can just open it up and start what I need in a couple of clicks
I just created a dummy account that is part of the family plan.
If it get’s banned: So what. I’ll create another ;)
Regarding Zotify (the last time I used it was quite some time ago), authenticating was the only difficult task. After that it was just plugging in the playlist link, pressing enter and waiting.
And I am not one that breathes the CLI.
