As a Spotify Artist, I bet I don’t even see a single hundredth of a penny for somebody paying extra for the lyrics, either…

And even if Spotify did pay out extra for lyrics, I’m sure they’d find a way to screw my band out of royalties like they currently are anyway.

lud,

It does make sense though since Spotify has to pay musixmatch for the service.

wecalledhimmavis,

who crowdsource a heap of their lyrics, paying a pittance to their curators 🙄

lud,

That’s true. But to be fair, I have added one song and synced a few. I didn’t do it because I wanted pay, I did it because I wanted the song’s lyrics to be on Spotify and on the app.

They built a service and people seem to like it, so I don’t mind.

Auzy,

I can’t find the reference, but isn’t Spotify the service which stole the lyrics from another site? And then the other site added morse code on some of them to catch them red handed?

That could be part of the reason if it was

LiveLM,

I believe the squabble you’re talking about was between Genius and Google, don’t think Spotify was stealing lyrics from anywhere

Auzy,

I tried googling it… couldn’t find it… What you’re saying sounds more familiar.

But, Spotify probably licenses their Song lyrics too I’m guessing, so, not sure how royalties work for that, and could be a factor

Petter1,

I have this memory, that apple was accused to have pirated sone lyrics as well, lol

IIRC correctly, Genius added white space to some of their lyrics so that when Google scraped them, they could prove they got it from their site since the scraped content also had the random white space.

Auzy, (edited )

Found it…

How did Genius become certain of that discovery? By hiding a Morse code message within some of the lyrics on its own site, the code being a series of curly and straight apostrophes which, when assembled, correspond to the Morse code for the word “REDHANDED” (as in, Google has been caught red-handed). Sure enough, those apostrophes showed up in Google results. But here’s the thing, though. After confronting Google with that evidence as described in a lawsuit Genius filed today against the search giant (with Genius describing that evidence as Watermark #1), Genius then decided to hide a second secret code (Watermark #2) inside its lyrics to further prove the lyrics are being copied.

They used it to spell out “REDHANDED” in morse code using apostrophes too…

Either way, not the case here

yoz,

Why don’t you guys torrent ? I am back to torrenting and its the best.

Pulp,

Have fun

Psythik, (edited )

Because direct downloads are better and faster.

slavart.gamesdrive.net
free-mp3-download.net (don’t use apostrophes in the search for this one)

You’re welcome.

Edit: Also, Real-Debrid if you want to directly download any torrent instantly at your connection’s maximum bandwidth (up to 1Gbps) without having to wait for seeds. But this one costs money. (It’s worth it, though, especially if you’re downloading a lot of 50GB+ AAA games like I am.)

yoz,

How do we use real-debrid ? I don’t understand it.

Psythik,

Simple, you replace your torrent client with it. Instead of opening a torrent file in QBittorrent or whatever, you go to the “torrents” section and paste the magnet link/open your torrent file there. Then select “convert” and then you can download the torrent directly from their servers. It’s kind of like a seedbox that everyone shares, so that you don’t have to wait for seeds so long as at least one person has added the file to Debrid before.

Select the “premium offers” link to get started.

yoz,

Cheers mate

Third party apps for Spotify is definitely the way to go if you don’t have premium.

vikinghoarder,

What are those?

Xy_lemmy,

Xmanager for android. For other platforms you can checkout Spotx

Pulp,

But do you? I can still see them, using xManager.

Mothra,

I’ve seen xManager and couldn’t convince myself to install it. Do you need a Spotify account? Does it let you create playlists as you wish?

Pulp,

Yes for both.

BelieveRevolt,

The funniest thing to ask money for. Just have genius.com open or stream the song on YouTube, the lyrics are probably in the description or at the very least the comments.

Pulp,

Just google them

ThePenitentOne,

Anything to encourage even a single person to spend more money. It’s just sad, really.

balderdash9,

Is there an easy way to download tons of music without paying for a shit ton of albums?

Icalasari,

You can probably whip up a .bat file to download entire albums worth of music from YouTube and other sites

Pulp,

Deemix, yt-dlp

@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

You say that like there aren't thousands of songs with unintelligibly fast singing... lol

Zoldyck,

I pay them for other reasons.

yoz,

Lol you guys pay for premium?

Pulp,

Make the record labels rich so that they can sue and bully people thank you!

Colorcodedresistor,

Bring back Winamp.

anyone else remember that old ass redditor who made the website “onlythebestof” or something along those lines. those were better days .

Look for QMMP, a Winamp clone.

iHUNTcriminals,

Yeah, but does it whip the llamas ass?

Pulp,

Check the year
