Looking for the best way to sync music from spotify (lemmy.ca)

I used to have a script that would check a text file that I had hosted on nextcloud so I could paste in spotify URI's whenever I wanted, then nightly it would run a bash script that would leverage spotify-ripper (https://github.com/hbashton/spotify-ripper). It would see if tracks were already downloaded, and skip them, and download anything missing. It would take care of the album art and ID3 tags and everything, straight from the source.

I've seen a few suggestions, like lidarr-extended, but that does not allow you to plug in spotify credentials, for example. There's zotify, and ZotifyFrontend, but looks like it's not really able to "sync". I also found DownOnSpot but that seems like Zotify but different.

Are there any good solutions anyone is using currently?

I use spotdl with this command and it works great for me:

./env/bin/spotdl $SPOTIFY_PLAYLIST_URL --archive spotdl-archive

Just add songs to the playlist in Spotify (I have it set to my Shazam songs playlist) and it'll automatically download them when the script runs.

Does this handle all the metadata like album covers and ID3 tags as well? I used one of these before that did not do any of that

It does! It's what I use for my music library. It even downloads the lyrics.

But they come from YouTube though based on the GitHub page, not from the source (Spotify). That's a deal breaker for me. I have too many obscure tracks that do not look up easily and it makes a mess of my library 😞

Oh alright

Check out zotify. Literally rips music from Spotify. Can download a single or a whole album using URL or search feature. And for freebies like me, I now have better 160kbps OGG instead of YouTube's 128kbps AAC audio.

I'll check it out!
