Soulseek > Freyr > yt-dlp
Soulseek is better for more popular tracks and artists and in normally better quality.
Freyr can be fed a spotify/apple music link, find the highest quality version and pull the file from YouTube music or YouTube. Then it will automatically write the appropriate metadata and cover art to the songs.
If all else fails, yt-dlp to directly rip from YouTube.
Or buy it legally. In the past I’ve gotten songs by buying from Artists’ website, bandcamp, and iTunes.

You can still buy songs on iTunes and load them to an iPod, MP3 player, or in my case to my Navidrome instance for my own personal self-hosted streaming.

Too bad there isn’t one shaped like a broom.
I don’t use Windows at home but I still have to deal with it and their ‘features’ when I work with my spouse’s desktop and at my workplace. God I hate it.
