Money has been really tight and looking to cut monthly expenses. Is there a way to rip a spotify collection?

    You can try something like converting your whole collection to a playlist then use deemix to download it

    soundiiz to convert your playlists to deezer. Then use a deezer exploit like deemix to download each playlist.

      Does this work for spotify-exclusive podcasts?

      Edit: So I did the bare minimum of reading, and no, no it doesn’t! haha

          Right, that’s what clued me into the fact that downloading the spotify-exclusive podcasts wouldn’t work. 😋

    Yes but you would need to do it in real time and cut the files up manually, unfortunately.

    There is no way to “rip” or download the files directly but you could record a playlist with screen sharing software such as Geforce Experience or just plug the line out of your device into a recorder or virtually record it using software like Audacity.

    TBH if you need to save money you are better off just using a free Spotify account and running a decent adblocker like Ublock Origin &/or Pi-Hole to block most of the ads (although I haven’t not had premium for a while so not sure how well that still works).

    Otherwise start grabbing old CDs from charity shops, eBay and the like or just resort to piracy.

    I hate to say that here, but honestly, take a spotify family subscription with 4 of your friends / family. It will cost you 3 bucks/month. It is totally worth it and it supports artists like me and people I work with.

    Use piracy on other targets ;)
