zotify.xyz can rip premium quality directly from spotify if you provide it with premium account credentials.
That was looking really good, however it doesn't seem to download into separate sub-directories which is rather annoying. I'll keep my eye on that though, thanks :D
You can get it to do subdirectories by editing the 'output' setting in the config file. ex: '{artist}/{album}/{song_title}.{ext}' would give each artist their own directory and further split the songs into their own album directory
Thank you! Seems like Opus doesn't work though which is a shame. I made an issue on the Github page. I'll make a script to do that after and preserve the cover art.
I've now got it going with real-time downloads, this is going to take days 😭. However this tool is the best out of a set of compromises so I'll make the most of it.
I'd also recommend setting the "song_archive" option if you haven't already....especially with real time downloads. Just in case. I'm....unfortunately speaking from experience
When I provide it an artist name, it downloads all of their songs into subfolders with an album name. When I provide it a playlist however, it downloads all songs into one folder. They still have album an artist in the metadata, do I'm pretty sure it can be sorted after the download.

I use soggfy a lot for Spotify, with a premium account this will rip 320 mp3's for you however I think that is the best you are able to get out of Spotify. You won't be able to get any lossless rips from Spotify regardless of which method you use as far as I am aware.
Yeah I'm aware of Spotify's 320k MP3 cap, but for the equipment I've got that's fine. Thanks :)
Likewise for me, 320 is enough as I'm not playing my music on a proper sound system or the like. In that case I can recommend soggfy for it's ease of use as it is just a modified Spotify client, you play the music you want and it intercepts the incoming stream to rip the music. Nice and easy.
I just make playlists and leave it over night to play etc
You can’t download FLACs from this site but I’ve been using spotifydown.com for quite sometime now and the audio quality imo has been super solid so far imo. Really has helped me massively in terms of relying less on Spotify since I can just rip the song from there and therefore have my own copy of the tracks/albums etc.
I’ve also used Psst too as an alternative to the current spotify client on my laptop and that’s been also great too, much more lightweight than the main client, but unfortunately premium is a must if you want to fully use it though ;-;
Not apple or Spotify, but kinda does what you're after but with tidal: https://github.com/yaronzz/Tidal-Media-Downloader
It may have stopped working though https://github.com/yaronzz/Tidal-Media-Downloader/issues/1157
If that's the case, streamrip still works fine with Tidal. Deezer support is currently broken.
In what way is Deezer support broken?
You can rip music from Spotify using Soundbound.
You can check out this module for OrpheusDL. I haven’t personally used that Apple Music module but I have used OrpheusDL and it grabs lossless from other services. Not sure if Atmos changes things though.
Just torrent the music you want
See, torrent availability is more or less directly correlated to the size of the artist / band in question. So when you get someone who's into some rather niche stuff and has quite a few small bands in their streaming library, torrenting is just not an option.
Just buy their music! Those are the bands that actually need the support.
Yeah, of course I shoot some support over their way. It's just if I do that it also comes down to the whole ownership thing too, hence the downloading.
Encourage those bands to use bandcamp
Maybe reach out to the smaller artists, then? I’m sure most of them aren’t opposed to sending you a file if you pay
Not answering OP's question.
