[Feature Request] Allow downloading of playlists for listening offline

Open Diegovsky opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

I've been visiting a bunch of places without good internet connectivity and I'm wondering if there's a way to ask for playlists to be downloaded like the official client does.

A possible solution would be to add some new API for this. From a super quick reading of these docs, it seems librespot already supports downloading songs, but only to optimize playback. I suppose adding this would be possible with what librespot already has. For example, a new variant called Downloaded could be added that holds a File, just like Cached.

One problem with this would be that downloaded files need to be encrypted or something to prevent copyright issues.

What do you think?

Indeed, we won't do offline downloads for reasons of T&Cs.

An unfortunate thing but I can live with that
