"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?

I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a "sponsored recommendation".

Why am I seeing ads if I'm already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

I have around 5000 songs in a playlist. Anyone got an idea of how to migrate them to just local .mp3 files or something?

Any sailor worth his salt needs spend a few seasons earning his sea legs before he can begin to call to claim any understanding of the sea.

AKA, There is no easy way. It will lots of time and manual labor to find all the individual files in your Playlist.

If you have a shit ton of time and don't care about mediocre to bad quality for the size, you could do the straightforward 80s way, play and record on "tape" (which can be digital files nowadays).

If you have any way of exporting to a list, then you might have some luck with some console wizardry and yt-dlp. Essentially "search" each title on youtube and auto-download the audio from the first result and try to fill in the track and artist fields automatically.
