What I meant is that I have a list of about 7000 songs on spotify that I have built over the years, I would like to have THAT list of music. If I go to a self hosted option, that is great, but without the media, worthless... I can download all the music that I want, but that will be a ginormous amount for a tiny amount of songs that I actually like. I'm already hosting a huge movie library, but I fear I might need hundreds of TB more storage to save all the music that I want :)

I guess I'm looking for a "download only these songs/albums/bands from this spotify list" type thing

Music isn't expensive to self-host; 1 min of music cost you roughly 1MB of space, which means your playlist of 7k tracks (assumed average length: 5 mins) clocks in at around 35 GB of storage space. So just start collecting.

As for your other request. I'm not too familiar with Spotify, but a net search yielded this. I cannot speak to the legality if any of the solutions recommended there, and if they still work (the thread is 2 years old).
