I ditched most streaming services well over a year ago now, but Spotify has clung on because I have a playlist of around 2000 songs. I’ve set up Navidrome but now need to transfer all my music in the highest quality possible as efficiently as possible.

I tried lidarr some time ago, but it seemed to be based more around artists than individual songs and my indexer failed to find most of my library.

I’ve seen a couple of apps that will look at a playlist and then try to yt-dlp the song from YouTube but I’m worried about having a lower quality or different version. I’ve wondered if automating an “analog hole” type approach where I just pipe the audio of each song to a file and leave it playing overnight for a couple of weeks might actually be the best approach but that does seem a bit insane at this scale.

    https://soundiiz.com/ is so good at transferring playlists or exporting them to standard csv or playlist file. It’s $5 for one month—which is all you’ll need for this specific transfer. But I pay yearly (there’s a discount) because I like to export my playlists throughout the year. There are a bunch of other great features.

    Edit: Oh, you meant the audio, too. In that case I’d say transfer/export your playlist. Then go find FLAC files of the songs from various sources.
