streamrip VS qobuz-dl

you can convert your Spotify playlist to Deezer, then use something like streamrip to download from Deezer. You need an arl to use it, you can get one here. use the beta version of streamrip to use arls.

streamrip

If you have access to a qobuz account, I'd probably recommend good ol streamrip

There's streamrip that can rip from several streaming services (read the docs).

I stopped using it, using this now...

beside deemix, this thingy also work

If you got Qobuz premium you could use streamrip if not then you could just use GamersDrive/SlavArt Discord bots, it's on the megathread.

Looking at multiple GitHub Repos, like the one found Here, I notice the programmers incorporate some level of OOP into their code and their files are generally far more sophisticated than anything I've ever written.

There's Qobuz-dl and QobuzDownloaderX. You can also use the Slavart bot which is available on Divolt and Discord. The bot occasionally goes down though.

Qobuz is more expensive but i think it is better. And yes, you can sign up with vpn (i dont do that, but read some people talking about that in the subreddit). And there is also a downloader for Qobuz (https://github.com/vitiko98/qobuz-dl)

I notice there is a qobuz-dl equivalent which is great. Will test that out.

If you can find a way to download the files driectly from the streamin service's servers, suing something like qobuz-dl, you can then perfoma null test to verify that they are bit perfect copies or not.

So far all I have found is this a) Qobuz-DL (console application requiring Python) https://github.com/vitiko98/qobuz-dl

Nice and nice. If you ever run across this issue and know your way around Python, look at this git repo https://github.com/vitiko98/qobuz-dl. Does require a Qobuz subscription. I think Tidal has similar open source workarounds but I use Qobuz.
