I don't wanna use Spotify anymore and would like to build my own offline collection of music. The issue is, I have hundreds of albums saved on Spotify that I love listening to. Downloading each individual song would be a royal pain in the ass to do. A lot of the stuff on the megathread doesn't seem to work anymore for music specifically. I also would like to have high quality audio files. Any ideas how to go about doing this? I have no idea how torrenting works.

I switched a while back, but grew frustrated with most of the solutions. Apparently while my music is on Spotify, some of it isn't in the MusicBrainz database, so automation and tagging/sorting tools just crapped out. The solution of submitting the data just wasn't work I was willing to put in (the guide on making a submission alone was too much).

Ultimately I did most everything manually and got a workable solution, but without added variety I lost touch with music and stopped listening all together over time.
