I appreciate the effort of making something like this, but almost half of my playlist (of 5700 songs) was unable to download due to a 404. It also randomly skipped about 500 songs super fast near the end of the download (went straight from 86% to 97%). That was after a nearly 16 hour-long download where that never happened before. Seems like you guys still need to fix quite a lot. Good luck!

You abused the tool for 16 hours straight and then cried about bugs. Bro, that’s the bug

"Abused" 🤡

Isn't this shit meant to be used? Or do you think everyone just has like one or two songs to download and that's it? I've been using Spotify for well over a decade, and decided to download my whole music library. Well, at least I got a little over half of it now in FLAC quality.

apis aren’t magic pipelines for infinite flac. they have rate limits, errors, throttling… you basically ddos’d your own playlist.
and yeah, if you look into the process you’ll see the api “switching” because different regional endpoints/cdns are used. some countries have tracks available, others don’t, so the tool keeps bouncing between them. sometimes you get a hit, sometimes a 404.

Alright, appreciate the comment. Guess I'll try to take it easy now with the songs that couldn't download from the first try, and keep some more time in between the future downloads.

maybe in one of the next updates there will be a button to clear the finished songs from the list. until then, it is what it is 🦖

I forked the project and published a new release: https://github.com/value1338/SpotiFLAC/releases

Added an “Autodelete downloaded files” button. Works reliably and stays responsive with very large playlists.

Edit: made a PR for the original repo
