Spotify sync web gui (downonthestreet.eu)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

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.

You already have lidarr!

  1. Delete the Usenet and torrent indexers and download clients. Its awful for music.

  2. Set this puppy up: https://github.com/TypNull/Tubifarry

  3. Profit.

Edit: Ive just yesterday got this set up and running and its been brilliant! Ive got my Spotify lists set up to sync and its downloaded 300 or so albums for me today! Let me know if you have any questions or anything I'm happy to share what I did
