Burn a CD from spotify?

borchee that was nice of you to do the downloading for IamSpartacus.
Despite the good intentions, we should be mindful that downloading and storing online music streams is considered "fair use" in most countries only when done by an individual for their own use.

Yes.. I know what a zip file is, but oddly enough... my Win10 doesn't recognize or have the ability to open them...

OK, you're good to go. This way the folder @HavanaAlma with all its content will be zipped. The un-zip programm: 7-Zip

Spartacus is struggling, but noted and deleted. Thanks!

BTW, did you take a look into the manual (pages 13, 20...)? What I'm blabbering about should work with Spartacus' CD player, shouldn't it?

Windows 10 does include the ability to unzip - from Windows Explorer right-click the zip file, then select "Extract All..."

Yes, I see that the Yamaha CD-S303 supports AAC-encoded audio files, which is what you have provided.

1. Yes. Don't know about info on packaging though, but you just right-click on the drive and select properties to check.

2. Yes.

3. I didn't go through the manual en detaille, but basically yes.

To be honest, I'm an idiot, so I downloaded 44 of the files and they amount to only 1.9GB (~6% of 32GB)...or one day eleven hours and 5 minutes (2105 minutes).

I'll provide a link to download them, once I upload them to Google Drive, so you and anyone else interested doesn't have to do it...unless you explicitly wanna mess with the download programm.

EDIT:

This went rather swift (despite my laptop dating to 2008): Google Drive download link deleted

I didn't bother to split the files (albums one might call them) into individual tracks, but it seems there are ten-twelve, or so, per album.

BTW, I can't help but to think the music of this channel is AI-generated.

EDIT #2: Google Drive download link deleted.

OK.... Received the flash drive... Plugged it in and right clicked on it as per and it is Fat32.... So far so good, but when I opened the pdf icon it mentions installing software on my computer... Is that what you have to do every time you buy a flash drive? or just the first time? I thought once we determined it was the Fat32... I'd just seek out what I want to download.. I await instructions...

There's no need to install that SanDisk software.
Just go ahead and copy audio files to the flash drive. When complete, don't just pull out the flash drive, it's important to first close Windows Explorer, then issue the eject command from Windows. This will ensure all file copy activity is fully finalised.
You will find the eject command at the right side of the Windows taskbar - just click on the flash-drive icon.

Just making sure.. Thanks, linuxfan... Understood about closing Windows Explorer.. Just two more questions..

1. It's been a decade since I downloaded anything... Can I assume that once I've selected all the files and click the button that says download, I'll get a prompt asking me where I want to download to? Is that still the same after all these years?

2. When the files have downloaded, will I get a prompt letting me know the process is complete?

Not necessarily, it depends on the browser you use. If your browser is Chrome, I think it will download to the default Windows 10 "Downloads". If so, just wait for the download to complete, then shift the downloaded audio files to wherever you want them.

When the files have downloaded, will I get a prompt letting me know the process is complete?

Again, it depends on your browser. When you commence a download with Chrome, a download icon will appear top-right. Click on that icon to see the progress of your downloads.
