I had great success ripping from Spot with Tunefab. Haven’t used it in over a year (lazy) but it was worth paying for. It has a built in browser or w/e but it’s laggy AF. I would just sign in to a regular browser and make a giant playlist of everything I wanted to save and then log in through the program and do one drag & drop of the playlist to the download queue. IIRC you could download FLAC as well as any other lesser forma but don’t quote me on that.
It’s sucks to say it, but
menboys like that that are not worth trying to save anymore. He’s feeding off of the filth coming from those names you mentioned because it nourishes who he really is inside, who he is becoming.He surely had the capacity to be good, and maybe until recently he showed signs of leaning that way and was struggling, but he’s a lost cause now. You could argue that he’s a casualty of the systems around him, or society failed to shape him into a healthy person, or both are true. Alternatively he could be the way he is because that’s who he is and was always meant to become this, but you have to accept that he is (already or becoming) a part of the cancer that is a direct threat our species.
Ultimately you need to ask yourself if it’s your obligation, your duty, to fight this cancer, or if you should simply cut it out of your life and discard it. Our individual capacity to help others is finite, and should be treated as a precious resource to be used in the most effective way. People like him will never truly learn what empathy is or what it means to put the well-being of others before themselves, so it’s best to ostracize them out of existence. He is infected. Although he still stands in front of you and lives, the person he once was (or you thought he was) is dead. Sorry for your loss; our loss.
