Most of the music I listen to isn’t on YT music (so things like SpotDL won’t work), and Zotify, which is what I used before, no longer works (something about a new auth requirement? Not sure. I looked pretty hard, installing forks and trying client id/secret instead of username/password with no luck)
There are some extremely sketchy websites (and they all have identical UI, meaning it’s probably all run by the same person/group) that claim to be able to download playlists, but they 1. probably use stolen and/or hacked accounts and 2. only let you download 3-10 tracks and then ask you to pay up to download the rest (i.e. it’s a scam).
Are there any other alternatives? Is there a workaround for zotify?

My first thought was YT-DLP, but they don’t seem to support Spotify. Spotify-dlp claims it can do this, but I’ve never tried it. Be careful, maybe run it in a sandbox first.
Alternatively you can go the old-school route with Soulseek. It’s a classic peer-to-peer client for sharing files. Lots of music there, but it being peer-to-peer means you will only find files that are being shared right at that moment. So your search results can look completely different every day. Also, Soulseek automatically shares the folder it saves your files to. So make sure you point it at an empty folder for your downloads.
