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.

    Don’t be a leech and download several thousands of songs from other without sharing.
    If you don’t share back, at least only get hard to aquire content.

      I have an auto message that asks people to share, but a lot of people are returning to collecting their own media, so you have to start somewhere sometimes! :)
