I'm a loyal Sidify user. I come here to thank you for adopting my advice to output AIFF files and put the system to sleep after conversion. You guys are awesome!
I used to run the Mac version, but now I'm running the Windows version, due to the speed issue. Generally, it's a good program. It did help me get my Spotify songs as MP3 files.
Trial version for Mojave hangs attempting to convert one short track, waiting for response from Sidify support, we'll see ....... I will report back if situation changes.
It works great on my computer, fast and really easy to use. I can download and play all my favorite Spotify music freely. And fast technical assistance.
Loads of fake reviews for this product which appears to be exactly the same as this garbage: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/60732/spotify-audio-converter-platinum. Avoid like the plague.
Recommended by my friend Halio, everything goes well except that I spend my precious 11 mins to transfer the music one by one. Halio said that I am more stupid than the program. Drag the playlist to Sidify, go pee-pee, come back and everything is Done !!! Highly recommended but attention to drag the PLAYLIST. Sidify can help you transfter all the songs in one time.
Could someone (preferably from MacUpdate) tell us if this software is legal to use! I would like to buy it but I want to make sure I'm not violating any law. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
It looked interesting so I have downloaded a trial version.
The thing is that this software isn't working well.
With 9 out of 10 attempts I ended up with the error message and the conversion failed.
I have tried both - single song andwhole playlists.
Until this is solved Sidify is of no use.
As software goes this is easy to set up and use, pretty much a case of point, drag, convert. My only problem is that the success rate on the first pass is never more than about 50% for me, and even after three or four runs I can't get more than about a 65% success rate. I have a fast internet connection and a fast Mac and have tried tweaks like downloading playlists first but to no avail. If they could get the success rate up to over 90% this would be great!
I have the latest version of Sidify installed and have noticed the converter will fail to convert songs and it can take several attempts before they are converted. I decided to look under the hood and notice that several instances of youtube-dl.exe were running as well as many instances ffmpeg.exe.
Does this mean the Sidify program was downloading the Spotify playlist songs from Youtube sources and not Spotify?
Sidify Spotify and Sidify Apple Music does a great job re-recording the DRM protected files with speed and very good quality. Some say it can introduce gaps but I am using this for several weeks and it always creates good AAC files without glitches.
Still, this is clearly an illegal app and one must know it will get caught some day and no updates will be available. Just guessing of course but still, something to consider before cashing out.
For now, it is the best way to 'remove' the DRM protection and enables you to put your music on an iPod - or similar - which does not play streaming services.
I agree with CristopherAnderston that the "reviews" below are unnecessary and don't give any credentials to this application what so ever, rather the opposite. I don't even know who you are trying too fool with those comments, yourselves or your costumers?
The application itself is really good. I've been able to download a lot of songs for preview purpose. The quality is really good but the compression is kind of bad, if you look at the wavelength afterwards it looks kind of weird like if there was a limiter put to it. I will try some other output formats...
Summary, best spotify ripper there is of all I've tried. A ripper that doesn't record is priceless!
I tested this product and was able to convert 3 minute of Spotify Music pretty quickly and with great quality, afterwards I decided to go ahead and purchase a full version of Sidify Music Converter..
