I meant more "How do I get the media". I have a 7K songs spotify list which is the only reason I haven't quit the horror show that is spotify; how would I find this music again outside of spotify?
I'm still not sure what it is you're asking. If by "finding" you mean
If you have really never assembled a library of music you truly own, start now, and start small. Don't let the large number Spotify gives you trick you into believing you need that. Realistically, you're not listening to a fraction of the 7k songs it gives you all day every day. Focus on the albums/artists you really cannot live without, and once that is settled, branch out to the more exotic parts of your playlist.
What I meant is that I have a list of about 7000 songs on spotify that I have built over the years, I would like to have THAT list of music. If I go to a self hosted option, that is great, but without the media, worthless... I can download all the music that I want, but that will be a ginormous amount for a tiny amount of songs that I actually like. I'm already hosting a huge movie library, but I fear I might need hundreds of TB more storage to save all the music that I want :)
I guess I'm looking for a "download only these songs/albums/bands from this spotify list" type thing
Music isn't expensive to self-host; 1 min of music cost you roughly 1MB of space, which means your playlist of 7k tracks (assumed average length: 5 mins) clocks in at around 35 GB of storage space. So just start collecting.
As for your other request. I'm not too familiar with Spotify, but a net search yielded this. I cannot speak to the legality if any of the solutions recommended there, and if they still work (the thread is 2 years old).
