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.

Step 1. Purchase 8-10 albums from your favorite artists on Bandcamp (Bandcamp typically has flac files)

Subscribe to Tidal with a VPN in a poor country for very cheap ($4).
Pay for one month of one of the music migration services ($5).
Use Tidal-dl to get all the FLACs your heart desires.

Honestly you can probably keep Tidal, it's cheap and good. But always download the FLAC files for anything you don't want to lose.
