Do you mind sharing any details on your process / tools?

I did a bit of web searching and found spotDL on github, you can give it Spotify playlists to convert and it will search them on YouTube/YouTube music, and output them as local files.

Includes metadata and can output in different formats too. It works great about 99% of the time, though you sometimes need to search manually for individual songs it couldn't match somehow. But that were about a dozen tracks out of over 4k for me.

If you are interested in the other things I did/found aside from music feel free to ask

Is the quality of the YouTube rips good?

[–] vaquedoso@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

I imagine it's not the best, but Spotify's isn't great either

I'm not an audiophile or anything, but on my in ears it sounds fine to me. Though I only made mp3s so far, but iirc it can do flac too. I'd imagine those have better quality
