"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product? - eviltoast

I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.

Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

    If you have a shit ton of time and don’t care about mediocre to bad quality for the size, you could do the straightforward 80s way, play and record on “tape” (which can be digital files nowadays).

    If you have any way of exporting to a list, then you might have some luck with some console wizardry and yt-dlp. Essentially “search” each title on youtube and auto-download the audio from the first result and try to fill in the track and artist fields automatically.
