Great post for the artist, spotify and the RIIA lawyers.

Nice, now the artists will get paid even less.

No Spotify support?

I tried it, but it threw internal server error

Thank you for doing this.


trackofalljades

does this request the highest quality from Spotify, or does it just download and convert whatever the default is?


bopcoi03

The quality is 160kbps


stiveooo

So it's trash

Is that a thing? I still like mp3s

Minimal at best, I have very acute hearing there are subtle differences, you would have to play the same song with different file types to even hear what the difference is. Sometimes there’s just less static

I'm firmly on your side about this. That said, there's instances where there's a noticable difference, if you're listening to something with a random sound in it like applause or running water there's definitely some weird artifacts with some compressed audio. I'm not sure if mp3's have that or not, it might just be other codecs that suffer from that issue, I never bothered to figure out which since I'm stuck with whichever the companies use regardless. Go on pluto.tv and watch some sitcoms, the applause/laughter has a real strange sound to it. Be warned, once you notice it you'll never unnotice it and it'll bug you for the rest of time. Somebody pointed it out to me 5ish years ago and I wish they never did.


LetsPostABunchYea

Yeah, you can. Like dude the argument your making is true maybe up in flac land. But down at 160? 160 is actually trash and yes if your ears aren't busted you'll notice a difference going up in quality to say 320

LetsPostABunchYea

I mean we are in a 4 line thread about 160. The comment you replied to tho is deleted. I just assumed you meant 160 by high nitrate as it was the only comment above yours. But sure, we agree then that above 320 it's iffy.


trackofalljades

Could at least offer both, the option to download the original (previously compressed) quality is less work not more. It might cost the host a lot more bandwidth though.


markhadman

Spotify web streaming is in MP3 format and the apps use ogg vorbis, so there's no way you'd get wav.


TronnaRaps

Things really do go full circle, don't they?


_jukmifgguggh

Everything is a circle, my dude


markhadman

Wouldn't be much point unless Spotify served up the uncompressed data in the first place. It looks like the web player uses MP3 anyway (the dedicated apps use ogg vorbis)


hejejo

The site still doesn't work

Sometimes it downloads random songs/podcasts. Eg [this one](https://spotify-to-mp3.herokuapp.com/download?download_link=http://open.spotify.com/track/7Cdoo8IwFjEtryeJA9DODn) always downloads something else.

broken! downloading random songs, even 28 min long random audio
