Hi fellow sailor!

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
• Doesn’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…

(note: this is a cross post, i originally posted in selfhosters, but tought might be more fitting here)

EDIT: it seems i found a solution. Using Spotizerr let’s you download music using spotify directly. I have setup it, linked to spitify (and not to Deezer, to be sure) and it seems that’s downloading hi-res OGG files directly from spotify! Will write a wiki page on how i did it later on.
