Is there a way to download (rip) music from spotify library. Let’s say i have a playlist, i would like to have it in mp3 format at selected quality. Many thanks, arrgh you booty lovers!
Upvoted. It is literally impossible for 99.99% of the population to tell the difference between a good LAME mp3 encode and the original. If someone is working with the audio, making their own remixes and such, they can benefit from lossless/higher bit depth/higher sample rate though.
There were shitty mp3 encoders like Blade in the past (planted by the music industry?) that are easy to hear a difference, and if dealing with files from an unknown source one can only make an educated guess with a spectrogram as to the files’ lineage. Example: Was it a Blade mp3 from Napster burned to audio CD that some moron ripped and posted as flac?

Had (modded? custom? can’t recall) Envy24 drivers on WinXP for bit-perfect S/PDIF output of “bit-perfect” CD rips. It was overkill but fairly easy to get the digital part perfect, then the analog part can be subjective… never used special stones, or coat hangers as speaker wire. 🤣

adding the flag --bitrate 320k usually does it for me. I can’t really tell the difference.
