Hi,

I have a playlist with around 5000 songs. What is the best way for me to migrate from Spotify so I can actually have them, unencrypted, on a physical device. I am tired of songs being taken out of my playlist due to licensing issues.

    Sign up for a free trial of Deezer and user Deemix-Gui to download your Spotify playlist in flac format.

        Deezer Premium accounts can download flac, hence the free trial.

            You also used to be able to use disposable debit cards and email aliases to get unlimited free trials but I think most companies have put a stop to this now.

          It says that deezer premium is not available in my country, should I use a VPN to bypass that?

            You can try but you night be required to have a payment method from whichever country you’re signing up from.

      This is exactly what I did a couple months ago. Free trialed deezer, exported the playlist in batches of 500 through songshift. Dled the whole thing.

      Although I have to say around 2 to 3% of songs were not found on deezer.

    There’s a Deezer bot on telegram that takes Spotify playlist links. Just paste it in there and download the whole thing.

        Yes. They use the premium ARL of an account and through it they access deezers database and download as FLAC.

        I don’t know of any streaming services that provide flac access for free. Deezer and Tidal have flacs, but require subscriptions. If you want flacs without any payments, from what I know at least, you’re gonna have to resort to torrents or Usenet.

          Not entirely true, you can find Deezer premium arls for free on the internet. That’s also what these bots do

    Check out FMHY’s list of Spotify downloaders. That said the first step would be to make the playlist public.

    After that you could just use something like Spotiflyer and download them. If you want high quality audio files though you might have to look around a bit
