I think you do need an account (which could be trials) because you have to use an ARL or your credentials to login to Deemix with.
I personally pay for a Deezer family plan and just use offline play mainly for my car.
From what I remember MP3DownloadNet uses the Deezer API to download MP3s and FLAC. I used to collect music with this site before it all the ads but it seems like it’s still working.
What quality are you getting from downloading from Spotify?
Personally, I use Deezer + Deemix to download FLAC for offline play and it’s great!
For me, I subscribe to Deezer (or you can do a trial) and run Deemix which is able to download the music in MP3 or FLAC. It directly downloads the music using Deezer’s API.
As far as organizing it goes, I typically just host it with Plex or a Subsonic player like Navidrome.
What’s funny for me is I have two gaming PCs and yet I play more games on the deck. It’s just easier for me to pop into games for an hour or so and suspend it when I’m done. So far I’ve beaten the Trails In The Sky trilogy (with each game taking me about 3-4 months to beat) and it’s been such a wonderful experience on the deck.
For downloading music in bulk, I personally subscribe to Deezer and then run Deemix in Docker which allows me to download offline audio in FLAC. I then serve those FLAC using Plex and Navidrome.
This is what I ended up doing last year and it’s been great.
I host my own HumHub for just my extended family. It’s basically Facebook but there’s only about 25 people and no external nonsense like ads or news.
I have a small setup for some self hosted apps and media.
I think total power is about 30W.
