Advice on moving my Spotify library to Navidrome (lemmy.world)

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.

Theres tools like Zotify (and I am sure several others) to directly download the music files from Spotify.
No need to get yet another subscription.
They may not be lossless but who really cares when the first priority is getting away from it at all.

In my experience, most of these tools usually only search the equivalent song on YouTube ans download it from there. Which can cause some trouble when the algorithm finds some cover etc instead of the original thing. Plus the lossless issue. For me personally, it was easier to just get the better version outright instead of upgrading afterwards.

Zotify pulls from Spotify and uses your Spotify account to get your actual playlists and download the songs directly

Before commenting on a tool and saying it's bad, at least do your homework :(

I commented that I have experience with similar tools and that is why I chose others. I never said anything about this particular one.

Why would I need to look into this particular tool right now? I don't need it and it has no real relevance to what I was saying either.
