It looks like this repo is a few years old. Does it still work? If not, are there other alternatives that download directly from Spotify?

I've looked for something like this on-and-off the last few years, and most viable options seem to use a Spotify reference to find the right metadata to download off another service, like Deezer.

You might as well go all the way and search your favorite BitTorrent trackers for some lossless rips.

If you're willing to indulge in piracy you might as well get something better out of it.

Spotify does have a lot of tracks on there that i cannot find elsewhere (not on any trackers, not on deezer, not even on youtube for that crisp 128kbps).

Deezer is still the best bet.

Didn't they lock lossless FLAC to premium users?

While they did, a particular site still appears to be able to bypass that (though they perhaps have a premium account themselves).
