i recently canceled my spotify subscription, so i’m looking to download whole albums and if possible download whole discography easily instead of individual songs

Edit: thank you all comrades for the recomendations!

    Rutracker dot org has a massive selection of albums in flac quality. Many artists have whole discography uploaded. Use tools like cuetools to convert single album flac to individual tracks and/or to convert to mp3’s or other preferred format (I like aac).

    In addition to the other mentions here I can also recommended looking into Deemix. This pulls flac or mp3 from deezer. It is able to do whole albums or discography also. You’d need a deezer subscription but you can find arl for a subscription if you look around.

    I installed spicetify for spotify on desktop, it can skip and disable all ads along with other cool useful extensions like making anonymous radios, removing the podcasts, or changing the terrible default skin.

      wooooow that is amazing. It has everything deezer has. It is just a deezer frontend without the auth. Because this is what their api returns :)
