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.

I used spotdl to download mine. Though it grabs your music from YouTube, not from Spotify itself (downloads MP3s from YouTube) https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

I used this too. Btw, YouTube does not serve mp3 files. It serves Opus files and (low quality) m4a files. If you select the mp3 output option with spotdl, it converts them to mp3 and you lose quality. To get the highest quality, you must chose the opus option.

Maybe the easiest but not quality wise.

For sure. I prefer audio quality but this was easy to use.
