More than just ‘what app are you using’, but I do want that as well.
I want a good mindset for downloading music that has what I want and at least some of what I’ll probably like.
Currently, partially as a limitation of the app, I have every song in every album that contains something I like. This works well ish for discovery, but I know less than a quarter of my library, no matter how much time I spend listening to new music. This was with Lidar + tubifary (Tidal and Slskd only).
Currently I’m trying Downtify configured with slskd and yt as a backup, but it seems very slow to download and the app itself is very laggy.
I pay for Spotify, but since some of my favourite songs are not available anymore (they’re greyed out, as if they lost the rights) I decided I won’t renew. Back to piracy!
I don’t know all this fancy stuff. Like, yesterday, I wanted to listen to the songs from the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya so I grabbed them from nyaa, moved them from the “Downloads” directory to the “Music” directory and then played it with VLC.🤷♀️
If it works, it works. Don’t fix what ain’t broken.
When you run into issues of scale, hopefully the ecosystem is a little more forgiving
Yeah, to be fair, I mostly pirate video. Music, I listen to from Tidal through USB Audio Player (Android). I only ever grab audio that’s not available on Tidal.
Personally I just use Nicotine+ to grab whatever I want as a .flac, then use beets to organize them.
I download albums (through piracy or not) and add them to my modest mp3 collection the same way I used to buy CDs — once in a while when it seems like a good idea. If there’s an album I don’t think is worth listening to again, I delete it.
I delete it.
HERESY!!!

Interesting

Y’all are way too trusting
Newpipe : download audio VLC : play audio
archivetune is better
i used to download from deezer when public ARLs were extremely easy to get and use, but they got more restrictive recently. these days i just soulseek.
do you have any guides on how to use soulseek? is it safe to use on public wi-fi? (And will I get a letter from my ISP lol)
