    Soooooo

    I want to get rid of my Spotify because the apps suck baaaadly. However, I have about 6000 something liked songs

    How would I go about getting those off of Spotify and do some self hosting?

      So if I’m not mistaken the route I took was to import my Spotify library to Lidarr > Let it freely torrent/download in the background (this can take a long time especially if what you’re torrenting isn’t very popular!) > setup the Spotify Import plugin for Jellyfin and let that automatically make your playlist an such however, in my experience this worked well for maybe 40% of my playlists (roughly 800 rap songs + 200 rock/metal) and the rest I downloaded with ytdlp and manually added in to my library, which sucked because it was so tedious but once I got it done I never had to do it again.

      I got about 15k songs in my library all together but only listen to my playlists.

      I’m on the path to better systems than this, but as I’m too time poor, I gotta go with apps, and I just thought you might like to know I had as many songs in my Spotify Playlists and ported them over to Qobuz in seconds, if you want something quick for now. Qobuz talks you through it.
