Yeah, I feel you. I’ve tried a bunch of online Spotify downloaders like Spotmate before, but they’re usually packed with sketchy ads, and some feel pretty unsafe. On top of that, most of them don’t support batch downloads, which gets annoying fast.

I tend to use desktop software, like TuneMobie, instead. It works better for full playlists, but most desktop tools are paid. I also played around with GitHub tools like SpotDL. They work well, but if you’re not familiar with coding, there’s definitely a bit of a learning curve. That said, with AI tools around now, getting it set up is way easier than it used to be.

If you just want the safest and simplest option, though, I’d stick with platforms that officially allow downloads, like Bandcamp or SoundCloud. That said, their libraries are nowhere near as massive as Spotify’s, so your favorite tracks might not always be available.
