Record tracks, separately titled, numbered and tagged, from Spotify Web Player: https://open.spotify.com/ to mp3 @320 . It will check for if running the system with pulseaudio (or pipewire) or just 'plain' alsa.
This is for when you have a "Free" Spotify account (as far as I know 
, with "Premium" you can download tracks, but these are DRM protected (restricted to be able to play only with the Spotify program (client), I think))
Record from soundcard (what-u-hear) and the recorded tracks will be titled, numbered and tagged, this works with 'dbus-send' scanning for 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player', that provides the info for e.g. title, album, artist.
Audio ads will be skipped from recording (btw, when using a browser like Brave or Librewolf (with builtin adblocker) these ads are skipped from playing anyway)

Tested on BookwormPup64 (pipewire running, lame required to have installed), F96-CE (pulseaudio running (on my version), lame required to have installed) and FossaPup64 (with just 'plain' alsa running, requires ffmpeg installed edit: v2.0 uses arecord and lame instead of ffmpeg).
edit: and tested with some browsers, e.g. brave, firefox, librewolf. Running a browser with run-as-spot may not work as expected (see Help) (works ok on BookwormPup64 from what I tested).

*** Record tracks, titled, numbered and tagged from https://open.spotify.com/ ***
Recommended is to click '"'Record'"' first (after done making settings),
then AFTER that start the Spotify Web Player and play a track so it will be detected.
Next track played will be recorded then.
Be sure that no other mediaplayer is running, as it may conflict.When the '"'Album Mode'"' box checked, recorded tracks will be saved (and tagged) in:
<outputdir>/<artist>/<album>/<title>If not, recordings will be saved in:
<outputdir>/Recordings/<artist> - <album> - <title>
The latter is more suitable for collections e.g. Various artists.When the '"'Browser runs as spot'"' box checked,
it will work only if a D-Bus session bus had been started for this user.
(otherwise '"'dbus-send'"' cannot find the title/album info)For audio advertisements (if there are), recording will be skipped.
