I would like to move away from using spotify for music. Are there any torrenting sites where I can torrent music with high quality audio (~320kbps) tagged properly?

    I have soulseek/nicotine+ on my private server and I just use that. It’s really easy. If you ever used Napster or limewire or Kazaa or whatever it’s exactly like that.

    I strongly suggest to always tag your own music. I think expecting to always finding every album tagged to your own (or you media center’s) specifications and preferences in one place is a fantasy. At least it’s one that I’ve given up on more than a decade ago. Your music will always come from multiple different sources and I don’t think there is (or ever can be) one golden goose.

    So yeah, +1 for Musicbrainz Picard. I’ll throw in Puddletag for small manual corrections.

      So I actually made a python script yesterday that uses spotify’s web api to make a list of urls of every song on every album that I’ve liked one or more songs on. I then wrote a shell script which takes the file with all the urls and fetches the songs as 320 kbps mp3 files with a tool called zotify using a burner premium account I made. Unfortunately, it can only download songs in real time and will probably take around a month to finish downloading all the songs so I just set it to run on my vps. The mp3 files are good quality and have proper tagging and album art. I think I may have done it.

      I will also add a cron job to check for new liked songs once a day after this big download of ~15,000 songs is finished.
