Spotify sync web gui (downonthestreet.eu)

Hi fellow selfhosters!

i pay (i know, i know) for Spotify Premium and i would like to progressively build my self-hosted music collection leveraging the fact that i am a paying customer and i would hate if the pull songs under my rug over time.

Any good self-hostable approach here? Ideally, the flow would be:

  • I listen to spotify on my mobile devices, add songs to playlists and such
  • my self-host setup syncs those playlists
  • ... and download the songs using my paid for premium account from spotify itself
  • Doean't really needs to be web-based, i can access my server anbd run anything CLI based or even plain old GUI (linux).

I don't want fake solutions that use Google Music or Deezer to download, i pay spotify and expect somehow to be able to download 320Kbps music from it.

The overall process can be manual, but better automated.

I already have lidarr, but it's basically impossible to download the same music from it, at least not the music i listen to.

A viable workaround could be something that builds by spotify playlists using what music i have downloaded with lidarr, maybe notifying me what is missing...

EDIT: somebody pointed out this is against Spotify TOS. Anyway i found a solution using Spotizerr, which is a self-hosted web app that does exactly what i was looking for. You still need a paid spotify account unless you want to download low-res from Deezer.

I would think that downloading songs from Spotify (and breaking DRM) is against their TOS...

You can probably download them for "offline mode", but you would still need to use the Spotify interface for it.

Am I wrong?

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, i use the offline mode on my android device, but that music is still DRM protected and cannot be really stored in any way.

[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So my point still stands. You want to break the DRM on those downloads because you want to self-host it, but I still think it would be against their TOS. So in essence you are asking how to break Spotity DRM against their terms.

I didn't tought about that in that way, but put like this i guess its a spotify TOS violation. In that case, should i delete the post?
