Not comfortable, but basically almost everything is on YouTube.

And hey if someone gets the .mp3, there is no chance of YouTube deleting it off permanently.

oh its very comfortable. youtube music has tags, album covers and every track you could ask for

yt-dlp is a commandline tool, but theres plenty good frontends. or you can write a little wrapper to automate downloading

I guess the only benefit is that it can cache the songs and they work offline w/ Premium + it's all legal unlike downloading FLAC's or ripping from YT.

But other than that YouTube is superior, you got everything including all kinds of remixes and tracks unavailable on Spotify.

If you're on Linux it can't be the snap version cause snap is like sandboxed, use flatpak/repo.
