I’ve never used the free tier on Spotify and I don’t understand how anyone can. The ads alone would make me throw off my headset in disgust. So yeah, not going to affect me, and I do enjoy reading the lyrics a lot.

That said, I am experimenting with swapping over to Apple Music because I feel Spotify has become too expensive.

For a mobile, there is a modded apk,I've never heard ads there. For a PC, web player in Firefox with uBlock Origin, there are no ads at all there. The same goes for Tidal, I've never paid for these apps.

  1. spotx - well, I tried, but honestly, I don't need one more app especially when everything works in the browser. Plus, I prefer portable setups and there's no portable version of spotx, so, it's pretty useless for me.
  2. It's explicitly said on the Spowlo GitHub page that they use YouTube for downloading, so, there's no way to get 320 kbps tracks or flacs. Instead, I'd recommend to try some Qobuz/Deezer-based solutions, there are quite a few of them there. Or use slavart or something like this, or good old soulseek, there's even an Android client for it.

Does it convert them to 320kbps when I choose that quality? Because when I play those downloaded songs, it indeed shows as 320kbps.

That's the question, because as far as I know, the highest ytmusic quality is 256 kbps. I would avoid using it
