SpotiFLAC ★ 11365 587 APPLICATION

SpotiFLAC is a cross-platform desktop application (built with Wails v2) that enables users to download high-quality FLAC audio from streaming services (Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Deezer) by leveraging Spotify metadata. The user inputs a Spotify track, album, playlist, or artist URL; the backend fetches metadata via Spotify's internal GraphQL API using reverse-engineered TOTP authentication, resolves streaming URLs through Songlink/Songstats, then downloads from the chosen service. The app includes a comprehensive suite of audio processing tools: audio analysis (spectrogram, FFT), BPM/key detection (Essentia.js), format conversion, resampling, ReplayGain tagging, lyrics management (LRCLIB), metadata enrichment, and file management. The frontend is built with React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui components, communicating with the Go backend via Wails bindings. The backend handles persistent storage (BoltDB for queue, history, caches), FFmpeg integration, and community API sessions for Tidal/Qobuz/Amazon. The architecture is a monolith desktop app with a clear separation between frontend UI and backend services, but the backend modules are tightly coupled to the app's specific workflow. The app is open-source (MIT) with a Patreon funding model and has a large internationalization footprint (11 languages). Key entry points include the SearchBar for URL input, the download queue for batch processing, and various tool pages (Audio Analysis, Converter, Resampler, ReplayGain, File Manager, Lyrics Manager). External dependencies include Spotify's undocumented API, Tidal/Qobuz/Amazon community APIs, Songlink, LRCLIB, MusicBrainz, FFmpeg, and Essentia.js. The codebase demonstrates significant reverse-engineering effort but carries maintenance risks due to reliance on fragile third-party APIs and hardcoded secrets.
