We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB). It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million music files, representing around 99.6% of listens.
This is the one thing on Spotify I can’t get elsewhere. Would be nice to have a non transcode copy.

Well, since this archive says it contains the original ogg @160kbps for all artists with a popularity >0, it’ll be in this collection. Your wait may be over soon.

try OnTheSpot.
Does it circumvent the drm, or does it re-encode decompressed audio?
don’t ask me, I don’t know specifically how it works. I just know with a premium spotify account it’ll give you 320kbps mp3s, without, you’re limited to 128kbps. Sets the album artwork and the tags automatically, it’s great.
Second. I’ve built most of my library from this and soulseek over the last few years.
If I recall correctly, Spotify streams ogg vorbis—not mp3, so that would be a transcode.
well, there is an option for “raw media download”, so I’m assuming turning that on will get you the .ogg files you seek if that’s important to you. I honestly don’t care that much as 320kbps .mp3s sound as good as anything else to me.
