First of all, this might now answer your question fully, but…
spotify-dl uses youtube music to download stuff, and if you have youtube premium you can get higher quality downloaded, I think it does opus 128 or 156 kbit, and the sound is quite good.
tidal, deezer, or qobuz have cd or hi-res quality songs, and there are utils that help you get stuff from their service. qobuz-dl’s the one I have been experimenting with. Obviously you need subscription for it, but spotify is generally shit.
Apart from that I used few other sources to get my music.
Seems like I need to quit Spotify. Three q’s: Is Deezer more ethical? Is Deezer paying artists? Where does Deezer source it’s music? I know I could look it up but you seem to know about this stuff.
Thanks!
