The 350GB I already downloaded should last me a while. Doesn't it already get the metadata from Deezer, and flacs from Tidal/Qobuz/Amazon, anyway? Not sure why Spotify needs to be involved.

I don't know either, but if it's not from Spotify the links don't work, so if they break the API the program won't work.

In the mobile version there is an extension that uses YT music for searching and pasting links instead, hope it can still work with that if Spotify fails.
