One of my favourite applications. I stopped paying for spotify and just use this to get music these days. Everything gets uploaded to youtube anyways.

Downloading music from YouTube will get you MP3s, but they will have gone through the YT compression algorithms.

Use Deemix instead. Downloads MP3s straight from the Deezer servers with all metadata and album art.

Lucida.to would also be a pretty good choice, you can choose to download from either Deezer, Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music.

Then seed it on Soulseek as a webrip

No you have to edit the file for CD metadata and convert it to flac so you can pretend it was ripped from a CD, as is P2P file sharing tradition. Bonus pts if you put it through some filter to introduce a bunch of noise into the audio. Then ask in chat how you can convert a 128kbps mp3 to flac to increase the quality. Priceless.

You're right, but it does still work.

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Ah. Well that's what matters.

Deemix? More like Mix Deez Nuts!

I'm sorry.

[–] jecht360@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

That's okay, it had to be done.

Does it automatically grab things like metadata (author, cover art, etc.) for you? And if it requires a flag, do you know it?

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 weeks ago

I don't bother personally for the most part but it seems like you can do it via --embed-metadata, --parse-metadata, and --embed-thumbnail.

Unless the artist only posts on YouTube, try soulseek. Most files have metadata already included, and if they don't, you can just download from another user.

Soulseek. Added to my notes. Will check it out, thanks

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

It’s very automatic with just pointing it at the media’s URL, but also highly configurable if you want.

May I suggest SpotDL specifically for Spotify: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

Does it work anymore? I've been getting the 500 error while trying to use it for a couple of months non stop.

[–] majestictechie@lemmy.fosshost.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I've been using it recently without many issues

[–] Kallioapina@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Huh. Wonder why its so finicky. Oh well, maybe I'll give it another go in the future.

For songs with metadata I recommend ytmdl
