Is the app SpotiFLAC-Next down? Ever since I updated to versions 1.5.0 and 1.5.1, I haven't been able to download anything. Actually, there isn't even a Download button anymore. After Fetch, the only option is Queue, which adds the albums to the queue, but the download never actually starts. What happened????

Each time I try to download there seems to be a break. Under actions I hit retry, I wait for captcha, and I click start and if it starts downloading it's very very slow.

If I use one of the websites for each song it would take me 5 minutes per song max. (disregarding the album download function) which gives me 12 songs per hour. 50 songs would only take me 4 hours and 30 minutes.

I've already moved on to my 2nd option to download. The first artist is already in the queue so I'm going to finish it as it's almost 50% done but I don't know how many more hours that'll take. Currently there's 53 minutes until the break finishes but I'm going to sleep soon and I won't be able to hit retry.

Place your bets on how long it will take. Winner gets blessed with never been met with fake lossless audio for the rest of their life.

First, I was amazed by how you get to download a full playlist in flac for free but when I tried to download a single playlist I got hit with the 90 min maintenance message then I waited a full day and tried again to get hit by the same shit then after a quick research I found that the devs just wanted to get money but without saying they want money like a fucking hoes and asking 10 usd mandatory "donation" to get spotiflac next which doesn't even makes sense considering that spotify subscription in my country is 8 USD for full year

A message for the devs, if you want to get money out of your app which is completely understandable (Not really because it's still piracy) just say it

As the title says, every playlist I've tried to download in the last three months has failed. At first this was amazing, but now it barely works I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with my laptop? Is there any way that I can find out what's going on? It seems like some of you aren't having problems at all meanwhile there are struggling as much as I am. I have spotiflac next.

So yall are telling me that this is you main way to install music on your devices? Like you gotta be careful to not install "too much", theres like 82% chance that it will fail every time you try to install some music, especially if you try to install more than like 40 songs at the time and its SLOW asf.

Can someone tell me did i make a mistake or something or is it just completely normal for spotiflac to be like this? I've been downloading like 30ish songs for the past 20+ minutes and its still not done and some of them didnt even start downloading yet they're just loading. Im using the latest version of spotiflac on my phone and ripping music in 16bit flac on my phone.

And just dont start talking something like "aaah you're ripping too much music in flac" etc because im literally downloading less than 40 songs at the time this is NOT too much.

I just need some app or a website where i can download my whole playlist without worrying that it will fail and obv it needs to be free.

Cant download Spotify Next 1.4.2 from google drive because it detects a virus, any solutions?

I’m planning to build my own offline music library for a dedicated music player, mainly consisting of my favorite songs from the 90s. It’ll be a mix of Bollywood/Hindi music and English pop, and I’d like to keep everything in FLAC where possible.

One of my goals is to slowly detach myself from music streaming and spending so much time on my phone/social media. I’d rather have my own curated collection that I can load onto a music player and just listen to without being connected to anything.

The part I’m struggling with is actually building the library.

I’ve tried Spotiflac, but it takes quite a long time, and I’m also having trouble with batch downloads. When I tried downloading multiple songs/albums, it seemed to organize the files into separate folders for each artist. Ideally, I’d like to be able to download my selected songs/albums in batches and have a clean, organized library.

So I wanted to ask:

• What are the best legal sources for getting 90s Bollywood and English pop music in FLAC/lossless quality?
• Is there a better way to build a large personal FLAC collection efficiently?
• Is there a way to configure Spotiflac so batch downloads don't create a separate folder for every artist?
• How do you guys organize your own music libraries by artist, album, genre, decade, etc.?
• Any recommended workflow/tools for going from a list of favorite songs to a properly tagged FLAC library?

I’m not looking to pirate music I’m happy to buy/download it from legitimate sources. I just want to get away from streaming and have a well-organized offline collection of music I actually love.

Would really appreciate any advice from people who have built their own offline libraries.

I’m looking for someone who understands Spotiflac and can help me figure out a few things on the desktop version.

When I paste a playlist link from Apple Music, Spotify, or Tidal, I can’t seem to download the entire playlist easily. Also, when I download one song or a few songs, they get saved in separate folders.

I simply want to download an entire playlist and have all the songs saved together in one single folder.

If you know how to set this up in Spotiflac, could you please help me? Thanks!
