I dont like to pay for spotify tbh so i download my music and can easily port it between all devices.. my only problem is that playlists cant be ported that way so i end up updating them twice.. do u guys know a solution to that? A music player that has a pc and phone version?

I can rip any album from Spotify using Note Burner for PC. If you get the old version (I'll have to look up which build --- it's 2.2.4) it will even let you rip albums that were De-Listed. So let's say you wanna rip DIR EN GREY's album "Uroboros" but Spotify un-listed it --- you can STILL use the old version of Note Burner (version 2.2.4) to grab the album, despite the fact it was un-listed.

"No Offline Playback"

You do if you rip the albums directly from Spotify using Note Burner 2.2.4 on your PC....

(Rhyme Asylum's album was de-listed, but Note Burner 2.2.4 ripped it anyway).

If you aren't willing to either listen for free with ads, or pay like 10 bucks a month, then no, you're doing it the only way possible. Figure it out.

I meant that --- if you're too broke to be able to pay for a monthly subscription to Spotify, just find a mirror site of Pirate Bay and go TORRENT the music that you want.

I mean, you're probably not gunna find the super rare stuff like DIR EN GREY or GACKT on there (at least not in high bitrates), but you can get WHOLE DISCOGRAPHIES in 320kbps or Flac. Busta Rhymes, David Bowie, Elton John, Kate Bush, Depeche Mode, Prince --- all those are still easy to get a hold of.

Piracy isn't dead. It just isn't as mainstream these days.

I said neither of those things. I know exactly how to do what you want to do, I also know that you're allowed to figure it out on your own. I don't care what music or how much you download, I grew up in the height of Napster and kazaa and limewire.

Sometimes, we don't need a reason to do things. Multiple people here have suggested things you can do, which you shot down all of them, so I respond. Is there a way to do what you want? Absolutely.

I fully relate to the desire to have your music available in a way that does not require a constant connection to the internet, since listening to music on SPOTIFY on your SMARTPHONE costs money because of data rates.

I would suggest that you either buy a small DAP (digital audio player) like a Hiby R3 Saber that uses Micro SD cards for storage, or maybe get an older CD Player like a Sony D-NE320 that will let you convert your high quality ripped albums into ATRAC using the Sonic Stage software for PC, then you can have like, 7 to 10 albums on one CD-R and nobody can take that from you.

With Spotify or YouTube, there is no GUARANTEE that your favorite album or song is going to stay available forever.

His albums are hard as hell to come by, considering they are quite rare, and to import even just ~one~ album would cost $40 on some service like CD Japan or Yes Asia.

At least when DIR EN GREY started to get popular in the U.S. they started releasing their albums here in stores at normal American prices (like... $14 to $18).

VLC media player works on nearly any OS.

Edit: It's free.
