SpotiFLAC

SpotiFLAC is an open-source desktop app that allows users to obtain audio files based on music tracks. It functions by identifying music and fetching high-fidelity versions from other sources such as Tidal, Qobuz, and Amazon Music. This desktop application is designed for users who want lossless audio files without requiring a subscription to multiple streaming services or managing several different accounts.

The software operates as a standalone desktop tool. It does not require an account, login, or subscription to function, as it retrieves track data by reverse engineering the Web Player rather than using user authentication. This specific approach prevents the risk of account suspension or bans since there is no direct connection to a user profile or authenticated session during the search process.

Key features

• Downloads audio in FLAC format
• Sources audio from Tidal, Qobuz, and Amazon Music
• Operates without requiring a user account or login
• Retrieves track data via the Web Player
• Uses third-party APIs for audio fetching
• Integrates metadata from MusicBrainz and Songlink
• Supports lyrics retrieval through LRCLIB
• Bypasses the need for paid streaming subscriptions

The application is built using the Wails framework and utilizes several external APIs including hifi-api and Qobuz-DL to locate and download high-resolution files. Because it relies on these third-party services, users may occasionally encounter rate limits based on their IP address, which can be managed by waiting or using a VPN. The project also provides a Python module for developers who wish to integrate its functionality into other software projects. The executable is compressed using UPX, which may cause some antivirus software to flag the file as a false positive.

SpotiFLAC serves as a utility for music collectors seeking lossless copies of tracks. It is a tool for educational and private use to help users build local high-resolution music libraries.
