@eris well you're not supposed to leave Spotify, because everyone Spotify, go stream music from it so you'll not listen to any music without the Internet
@eris You might have luck with Nuclear as a replacement, it’s got a download button right in the main window, and imports from lastfm if you can get it working. Seconding yt-dlp, it downloads from many many sites. and soulseek if you want to go hard and get like rare albums in FLAC.
@eris nah, it's a completely separate P2P file sharing network/protocol, the only real differentiating aspect from most other platforms is that the userbase skews towards mostly music collectors and audophiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soulseek
while the reference SoulseekQt implementation is freeware but proprietary, there are a few FOSS clients, like Nicotine+ https://nicotine-plus.org/
