Seems they recently changed something on Spotify and all the tools I've tried fail now. And DownOnSpot which seems promising has received a cease and desist letter and got taken down. What do you people use? I want something that actually fetches the audio from Spotify, not just rip it from YouTube. And it has to work as of now. Does the latest commit from DownOnSpot work? Back when I tested it a few weeks ago it failed due to some API changes. Are there other tools floating around?

Zotify seems to work but i got logged out of all my devices when i used it.

+1 for zotify. I simply created a burner account for it, because it works fine with a free account. But I never had any issues with it.

Free accounts do work just fine but if I remember correctly you end up with slightly lower sound quality

fmhy.net has some tools listed in their audio ripping section that might work, haven't tested them myself.

Spotydown.media worked for me, but sometimes it gets stuff so wildly wrong that i am guessing he pulls the stuff from another library and takes the closest match for the name. Doesnt seem to be YouTube though, never had intros, outros or music video noises

YouTube Music has all the album versions even though some of them are hidden from normal YouTube search

I used a program called Spotiflyer which also pulled from questionable sources. I was downloading a playlist to play at a party and I got the Plankton (from Spongebob) AI cover of "Dear Maria" which absolutely cracked me up when I found it.

I've skimmed the notes, is this one one that rips and decodes the download files or finds copies based on Metadata?

Spotube uses the Spotify API for playlists but YouTube PipeAPI and other sources for music streaming.
