after I login spotify when ripping it says i need a premium account

[mitvitaminen]

Hi guys,

I am not sure if this is a spotify-ripper issue or spotify directly, but when I try to rip a song after I login it throws the error that I need a premium account even though I do have a premium account as spoitfy support assured me. Am I the only one getting this? I just tried ncspot a spotify console player and it let's me login without problem so it might not be spotify directly.
Please advice!
kind regards
Chris

Libspotify has been sunset https://developer.spotify.com/community/news/2022/04/12/libspotify-sunset/
Anything relying on it will no longer work, including this library.

I was working this morning to get it run under python3.10 and now I found out that libspotify is no longer supported!!!

Is there any idea on how to continue here? Any solution or alternative way in sigh? Is there a way to contribute? If libspotify was turned off, is there a similar api to log in and stream locally? :-(.

I wanna contribute to find another approach too. I can just record the redirected sound system.
With a sppotify cli controller, it's working, but very slow de rip and don't have metadatas, so need to scrap metadatas somewhere else...

Please can we open brainstorming about alternatives somewhere ?

What about https://github.com/shurizzle/oggify/network/members 🤔 Choose some fork or the original that fits best for you.

Following up on this. Has anyone found a working alternative to spotify-ripper that allows you to pull in .mp3 files from spotify? Much thanks!

You might want to have a look at one of these repos:
https://github.com/search?q=oggify&type=repositories

And you could use/add this afterwards to convert from ogg to mp3:

for ogg in $(ls -1rt ./*.ogg 2>/dev/null); do
  cat "$ogg" | ffmpeg -i pipe:0 -b:a 320k -map_metadata 0:s:0 -codec:a libmp3lame temp.mp3 &>/dev/null
  mv temp.mp3
done
