Is there a way to automatically locally save Spotify music as I listen to it? Or to access/convert the files that Spotify saves for offline playback?

These recommendations are good. I personally wrote my own Python script to use the Spotify API to get playlists and metadata then download the audio off YouTube.
It’s similar to spotdl but the last time I used them, they were only taking the first audio (which could be the music video version). So for my script, I put a filter for duration, prioritize YouTube music, and use keywords like “lyrics” and “official audio” that’s more likely to match the Spotify version
You can look into Spotify Downloader
spotdl, a Python package here: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloaderIt doesn’t download as you listen, but it’ll do something smart and download all the tracks of a playlist/album/etc by grabbing high-quality audio from Youtube videos (and it magically avoids dreaded music video versions) if you feed it a Spotify URL. It also puts all the metadata in the tracks automatically.
Tip for anyone else that uses this: make sure your playlist is public or it can’t download it. That seems really obvious now, but it didn’t occur to me initially lol.
