I had just gotten Google music to reliably stop doing this when they shut the service down. I’ve been disappointed with every music service since. I don’t have the time to go download thousands of songs, as much as I’d like to. I’ve gotten really in to podcasts and audiobooks as a result
Most ripping software I’ve used allow to throw in a link to a playlist. I started off by ripping a playlist or two from spotify and then adding albums as I buy or otherwise aquire them. Getting started is a bit of work, but once you get over that, the rest is easy. I now have about 238 hours of music on my phone and my desktop after a year or so of doing this.
I’m still pissed at Google for buying and then killing rather than integrating Songza. The only thing we kinda got from that was the moods radio in Google music.
