I really seriously want to ditch Spotify. The apps are trash, always doing shit I don't want without asking, I'm now getting ads for bands or artists that I don't know and never want to know, which is the last drop

Problem is that I have some 6000 songs long playlist. How can I get this playlist off of Spotify and where can I find the songs? I don't mind paying (once, as in the good times) for songs, but I'm done with the paying to own nothing

You can export your data from Spotify, and use that as a basis for downloading songs via for example yt-dlp (this can be automated), or slowly build it up again over time in whatever system you set up by buying the albums/compilations containing the songs.
