How do I use exportify or any other option to download favorites / playlists etc (in lossless format) from any music services. I'm using soulseek but I'll check any other option if available. [EDIT]: I'm not trying to download from Spotify, looking for interfacing workflow between Spotify and Soulseek.

For Spotify see https://github.com/zotify-dev/zotify. Rips songs directly from Spotify (no weird youtube downloader bullshit)

That won't be lossless

True, but it's better than nothing. :p

Otherwise, Grayjay has a plugin, and Soundbound (by the former dev of Spotiflyer)

You can't stream lossless music via Spotify but downloading flags from Deezer is very easy. You can find the links on fmhy

Thanks for pointing fmhy, good resource to have.

Take it with a grain of salt never tried this but found this . Keep in mind SLSK is p2p so if no one is currently sharing it or it's a private share I'm assuming it won't download don't know if it logs that etc. I moved away from Spotify about a year ago now and used SLSK and some other direct downloads to get all mine.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. I've been using soulseek but not sure how can it be used for music discovery (it works perfectly if I know what I want)
