Still working for me with just the basic bitch plan on the web/desktop.

That being said: Fuck you Spotify lol

Edit: fuck GadolElohai and CybranM too ya low expectation having downvoting motherfuckers lol

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

Recently ditched subscription services because of non-stop price hikes. Now I’m on Navidrome with a VPS and using Ultrasonic on my Android for mobile and Android Auto listening. For music, I turn to good old Soulseek and Telegram bots.

Never going back. The control and savings make it all worth it.

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

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

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

Jokes on you, I already memorized them all

superfes,

You say that like you can listen to the lyrics instead…

wolfshadowheart,
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

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

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

Lidarr

RedBaronHarkonnen,

Free on vimusic.

happyhippo, (edited )

Could someone kindly ELI5 how to lidarr-ize my liked tracks from Spotify, please?

My collection there is quite static and I think I’m a good candidate to go MP3/AAC/whatever 🏴‍☠️ plus Spotify free just to keep up to date with newly released singles/albums from time to time.

Thanks!

P.S. also what comes after would be great, i.e. how I can batch transfer all those files from my home server running lidarr to my Android phone/PC and keep them in sync after the initial transfer. Plus also a nice feature rich Android app, either free (no ads) or even better open source with an accessible price.

butter,

Skip Lidarr for your initial move. Use Deemix. You can find links to premium ARLs on the wiki or with a google search (or DM me).

Deemix has an option to sign in with your Spotify account and download playlists. There’s a weird song count limit, and you may have to manually hit some tracks. But this is the way.

You can also do Flac with this setup. You don’t necessarily need it, but if you’re making the move, I recommend it. Since Flac is lossless, there’s never going to be an upgrade.

butter,

Also, if you’re up for the self-hosted life, what comes next is a music server. If you have good access to WiFi or unlimited data, this eliminates storage as a bottle neck. I recommend Navidrome. But something like Jellyfin or Plex can do Movies and TV, if you want a 1 size fits all.

If you’re not, look into Syncthing. You chose a folder on your computer and one on your phone and this app keeps them in sync. After that, my favorite player was GoneMad. It’s offline, with real support for music tags. This allowed song ratings and real smart playlists

happyhippo,

Thanks!

Yeah I forgot to mention that I’m already living the self hosted life, I got a small home server with the arr suite, jellyfin and a few other containers.

Didn’t know about syncthing, I’ll definitely check it out. Same for GoneMad 👍🏻

Thanks again!

technologicalcaveman,

I've been using Qobuz. Sure it's still paid, but I can buy downloads for any of the music on there. Same with Bandcamp. I've been buying one album every paycheck and putting them on my storage blocks, then putting them on my media player and phone. I support my favorite bands, and get to keep something in return. On top of all this, I hunt down CDs. I've got a massive physical music collection, and it's nice.

They also broke adding songs to playlists on mobile lmao

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.

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!
