I never used spotify and will never use but let me just congrat you for your site that uses no crap of google or ads. It is that rare to see this. HN is another decent on, but 99% of web sites are a privacy and malware nightmare.

So is this piracy then? Don't me me wrong. I think piracy is a moral imperative, but I'm curious how far this sits in the gray area.

this is magic. hope Spotify doesn't spot it and stop it!

the project mentions the github but I can't seem to find it, any links?

the github mentions tidal integrations. i hope they are adding random delays between each download or that user is gonna get their account auto deleted by tidal.
