Ah yes Spotube, for when I want to hear a song 2 minutes from now after it finally buffers.
free-mp3-download.net (but don’t forget to backup your music collection)
Edit: Unlike what the website name suggests, it allows you to download FLACs, and not just MP3s. These come from Deezer HiFi.
Oh thank you for this 😍
What is its source? Torrents in background?
From what I could find, Deezer using free trial Deezer HiFi accounts.
Spotube is too laggy for my liking. Innertune is my preferred streaming app that isn’t self hosted.
I just keep downloading albums of MP3s like I have since the late 90s. It used to take hours and half the songs were mislabeled and real sketchy quality. Now, it takes seconds to download an entire album, and they’re almost always correctly labeled and high quality. I tried Spotify for a while, but it really seemed like it was for attention span deprived people who want something different every song. Gimme full albums any day.
Eh, I’m a full album guy (Pink Floyd ftw) but I still enjoy Spotify. I’ve been introduced to a lot of good music I probably wouldn’t have found otherwise, and sometimes I’m just not in the mood to commit to a full album.
Maybe I used it wrong, but I joined for a few months, and just used it to search up artists I already knew and listen. And then, I found it less convenient than my MP3 collection which easily fits on an SD card or my phone’s drive. I only very periodically search for new music. And I usually end up obsessing over one artist for a long time before moving onto another. We’re talking months to years. I’ve been listening to almost nothing but Rush for a few months now. I was never a fan growing up, but decided to give their whole discography a fair shot. Now, I can’t stop listening to Rush.
TIL that there are open source clients for spotify. time to go down another rabbit hole, thanks linux.
Youtube music too, YT Music Revanced for modded app.
Innertune, Vi Music if you prefer FOSS clients
