Just discovered #spotdl (https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader). It's a great way to download songs from #youtube with metadata and lyrics, or to just quickly listen to that one song somebody sent you. Cli and webui are available and it's very configurable

"Would have" or "would've", never "would of". Unless you have a would of gotten, in which case carry on.

For anyone looking for actually downloading from Spotify, check out zotify

If you use Android, then this app uses spotdl. It's really handy.

They need to make an open source version of the Hitster card game that lets you use this to listen to the whole song (if you choose) whether you have a Spotify account or not.

I’m not a fan of YouTube’s audio compression algorithm (optimized for saving google’s bandwidth but sounds awful on higher fidelity audio setups). If quality is a concern, I can’t recommend slskd enough

My favorite open secret of the internet. It's crazy to think how long that network has been running. I think I stumbled on it around 2003. Thanks for pointing out this client. I've been relying on a rickety container build that uses novnc and nicotine+ to give a quasi-portable experience. It will be nice to ditch that, hopefully.

And for those wanting a simpler and more traditional application, Nicotine+ is a great introduction.

Oh yeah don’t get me wrong I love nicotine+ too! I figured I’d link to slskd since this is the selfhosted community after all 🙃

You make a good point lol. I've made the classic blunder of not reading the sub name..

interesting, I've been using Musicbrainz myself but this seems a lot easier for songs available there

???
Isn't Musicbrainz an info database like Discogs?

like the Picard thing they make
Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y
Okay, but, Picard is for managing an already existing library, not downloading new music...
EDIT: Ah, okay, I see what you're getting at. Picard covers half the use case talked about in the OP, and that's what you meant by "for songs available there." Alright, I follow now, lol.

A really superb tool I've been using for a long time is the Soggfy desktop client. To use it you have to listen to a song in full, then it will save a .ogg file to your PC. Supports 320kb/s and it automatically tags files and downloads artwork.

At one point in history did it allow to download from Spotify or it's just an intentionally misleading name?
HotChickenFeet@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 1y
It says it downloads songs from your Spotify playlist using youtube. Granted its not dling from spotify, but it is downloading the things you indicate on Spotify.

This thingie fails miserably when trying to listen to covers, alternate versions and the like. Most times it just plays a different version. And I hate that.
