For Spotify, there is spotdl which downloads the music from YouTube Music, and then embeds the metadata from Spotify.

Isn't YTM like 128-192kbps AAC? I'd rather not even bother ripping that lol

Do you have any recommendations on what would be better to do?

If you must use Spotify, use ZSpotify with DOWNLOAD_REAL_TIME and hope you don't get banned. Alternatively, use it with a burner account.

I prefer Deezer and pay for Deezer HiFi. Deemix still works to rip FLACs from there.
