Visits to music piracy websites went up more than 13 percent last year, a new report says. The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.

    So right now, I have Radarr and Sonarr automate everything to plex.

    Is there a way, I can automate:

    I add to Spotify playlist (I would keep Spotify free as it is good at finding things for me)

    Something detects it

    Something downloads it

    It shows up in PlexAmp

    Ive been paying for Spotify premium because I need it for my job and I don’t want to spend a ton of time tweaking and naming things. I’d rather use PlexAmp and stop paying if possible but I’d like it to be easy (with a little work here and there) like my arr+plex setup.

    Am I asking for something that doesn’t exist?

      This is my time to shine !

      I am currently working on this and have a prototype that I am testing : https://github.com/P6g9YHK6/SpotifyRipper

      When I have the time to polish it I will dockerise the solution to have an automated spotify scraper ATM it is manually run but works pretty well 🥳

      Pull requests are welcome for anything on the todo list 🫡 And github stars will help boost this project popularity 🥰

          This was one of the issue I had too… I could not make lidarr work with my music tastes so I spent a couple of days prototyping with spotdl to get this working correctly and ended with the current version of the ripper I run it once a week to get the new favs and weekly playlist

        This looks cool!

        Unfortunately I don’t know anything about Python or docker… Thanks for the link, maybe I’ll try and figure this out on my next holiday.

          Just released an update that should take care of most of the libraries requirement for you. Just follow the instructions and it should work

      I want to preface this by saying I have not tried this.

      Lidarr is for music and their documentation says you can have import lists for spotify playlists.

        I have done this. it can be quite messy but it will definitely import the albums of all the music you have either liked or followed or in playlist in Spotify.

        I’m not 100% that it will actually organize it as it was originally on Spotify, though, just that it adds the list’s contents as “wanted tracks”. I assume there’s some way to do this but I haven’t looked into it enough yet.

        It’s still on my list, along with figuring out how to get Critical Role working with my Sonarr so I can be done with YouTube frontends…

      Syncthing and Spotdl. Syncthing can sync folders over a network. Spotdl can download content from a playlist; it is multi-threaded and skips already existing or duplicate songs. It took me 20 minutes to automate everything. Syncthing and Spotdl start on startup and do their thing every 10 minutes.
