I can't take Spotify anymore. I downloaded all my playlists as CSV files, is there any API somewhere to get torrent/magnet links for each song title or do I have to grab them all manually?
You just got yourself a cool little programming project.
What am I supposed to target though? Torrent search sites? That's less of a programming project and more of a shell one liner but I feel like it would get a lot of the wrong music.
I've been wondering about this as well, is there an IMDBID equivalent global identifier for songs/albums? I would guess not.
There are a bunch of Spotify -> (YouTube|Tidal|Deezer|...) playlist converters on the internet, but from the FOSS implementations I've seen they rely on searching the title/artist across multiple platforms and grabbing the first result. There isn't anything that can reliably match songs, albums, or artists across platforms.

Download your songs from Soulseek?

For metadata there are various databases. Kid3 can use some to automatically tag audio files. I'm not sure how would that help you pirate music tho.

Rarbg for instance lets you search for movies by IMDB ID. I was thinking of something similar for music. You would need bindings between Spotify's ID and the ID in the databases you mention, and a torrent site that allowed you to search by that ID.
there is an app thing called spotiflyer
use it to download the songs
I ended up just writing a shell script. It's not great and misses a lot and you have to go throw and delete extra commas (spotify uses some kind of vector ID format)

Shell scripting is a superpower.
It works a *lot* better if you also have awk print field 6 from the playlist csv files.

I don't know how people live without it.
emacs lisp is my favorite scripting language

amazon music is pretty good
listened to the new taylor swift album today

Where is the best place for pirating new music? Soulseek? Torrent clubs?

rutracker

As much as I hate both of these abominations, I would probably bite the bullet and use either perl or python for this. I had to parse csv files using awk at work, and it was not a pleasant experience. And it was POSIX awk to boot.
Python even has a module for parsing csv files, so it should be trivial.

rutracker really is the best public tracker for music
you can also try to search with btdig or something

there is also musicbrainz picard.
really good and can handle large libraries

Yeah that would be hard. I just went in with vim and deleted all the commas outside quotes. It's inelegant but it's also a one time operation and now I have all my music locally so I don't really care.
