But how do you get latest tracks?
yt-dlp
No. Low quality multi-generation lossy re-encodes.
Soulseek or doubledouble.top
I'm so glad I don't care about/don't notice audio quality. I could listen to a literal microwave oven and I'd consider it a beautiful, high fidelity song.
Yeah okay but how do you discover new music?
Shazam what I hear around me and like. Often it's just bus drivers listening to music, and since I sit in the front if possible, I can discover music. Or just radio, whether it's FM, DAB+ or internet. AM is usually limited to news and bazillion chinese stations.
Haha so many times I've heard stuff playing that sounds catchy in like random sandwich shops, and hunt down where I can get a clear detection on it.
It's actually pretty impressive what the average smartphone mic can pick up ... For better and worse. =\
But I've found some favorite songs that way. It beats the old days of trying really hard to discern some words in the lyrics and hoping a search engine would help!
I'm impressed with my pixel's ability to do it. I forget it's on sometimes and I'll walk in a pub. Having only been inside 5 seconds and my phone in my pocket the whole time, it already has the song playing on display on the lock screen. Its almost like it works better when the volume is lower. I have a harder time detecting music with it if I turn the volume up or hold it near a speaker. Put it my pocket and have 30 people talk over it? Probably has a 95%+ successful detection rate in those conditions
you should swap Shazam for the open source "Audile" :

But can that be automated? I have a yaml file and a glorified crib job that checks my subscriptions and playlists every 8h and downloads new stuff automatically.
I doubt it.
Soulseek > Freyr > yt-dlp
Soulseek is better for more popular tracks and artists and in normally better quality.
Freyr can be fed a spotify/apple music link, find the highest quality version and pull the file from YouTube music or YouTube. Then it will automatically write the appropriate metadata and cover art to the songs.
If all else fails, yt-dlp to directly rip from YouTube.
Or buy it legally. In the past I've gotten songs by buying from Artists' website, bandcamp, and iTunes.
Are those Android or Linux tools?
Nicotine+ is a FOSS multi-platform gui for Soulseek and runs on Linux, *BSD, macOS, and Windows.
Freyr is a CLI tool that can either built manually for Linux I believe or ran in Docker on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
yt-dlp is a CLI tool that has compiled binaries or can be installed through a package manager on Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows.
As an alternative to Nicotine+ I use slskd in a docker hosted in my raspberry pi. That way I can search/download and share files even when my main computer isn't turned on.
I don't know what Soulseek or Freyr are (I'll look into what they are), but you can use Seal (F-Droid) to download files using yt-dlp on Android.
Thanks, installed!
They don't, the ppl who do this are probably listening to the same boomer rock albums
Nothing worth listening to has been produced since 1989 /s
