DownOnSpot is ~~the only~~ one correct answer.
Edit: Zotify and Onthespot (which has a GUI) look good, as they too download straight from the source.

Never heard of it... Always used on the spot
Is it better?
Huh, wasn't aware of that one! Looks like it works in a similar way, so should be good. Has a graphical user interface, too, so more approachable. Thanks!
Spotube should be able to download tracks: https://spotube.krtirtho.dev/
And also the app is more beautiful than the original Spotify app.
I have a copy of the zSpotify saved which was DMCAed a while back from GitHub....
It still works flawlessly
If the release is on Deezer, you can use deemix and you can get a arl with some easy googling
They can be found on deezer too right? , which you can download from it much easier
i find most music i search for in higher quality (doesn't have everything) on https://slavart.gamesdrive.net/
it'd be a pain to download full playlists tho
Lidarr can do this, but it downloads the full album of each song which may or may not be a feature in your use case.
Gotta read upp on all these arr! softs, looks like there is a whole eco system around them too.
DoubleDouble let's you download from all the major streaming platforms just by giving it a link to what you want downloaded
Cool, what kind of quality would it be?
It defaults to the highest quality available. Tidal gives you a flac file
Download from Deezer or Qobuz instead.
streamrip is pretty awesome too for this.
Freyr is amazing.
According to the readme it downloads the songs from youtube or other sources and then adds metadata after reencoding. This means tracks might include unwanted audio from a yt music video.
But I also used tools like this in the past, they work great.
Actually you can't ,most downloaders here people suggested download those tracks from youtube.
See my comment below for tools that do download directly from Spotify.
For listening, I use:
- SpotX for Windows
- xManager for Android. For downloading songs in my Spotify playlist, I use Spowlo for Android. It downloads songs at the specified quality (I choose 320 kbps and but you can download even in FLAC; I chose FLAC for some songs). So far, it has been able to download all my 1910 songs from my personal playlist.
I use the bot @spotify_down_bot on Telegram.
Is Spotify generally the highest digital format of music files available? Or do people source music through other paid or unpaid methods?
You can try Deemix but the project Is dead but it still works it takes Spotify Playlist finds the songs on deezer and downloads it what sometimes gives you higher quality music then Spotify
Spytify works well. It works by recording the audio output of your pc while Spotify plays. It'll produce audio files with all the song info filled in.
Can also detect and mute ads if you don't have Spotify premium. If you do have it, you can also record with higher bitrate/quality.
Thanks for asking this, I also had that question ^^ I found two answeres, that fit my need perfectly. Love the community!
You take a Deezer account and use Deemix :p
I found this tool https://www.sidify.de/ a while ago. They have a paid solution, which you could pirate a crack for on a site of your choice. Maybe not the best solution, but it downloads the Tracks/Playlists/Albums by recording the audio and adding all the metadata.
I'd just just use youtube-dl honestly
I'd rather use SoulSeek than youtube-dl
