As per title. New releases especially are quite hard to find on other clients or p2p resources; what's the best way to get them from the source so that I can share them back?

DownOnSpot is the only one correct answer.

Edit: Zotify and Onthespot (which has a GUI) look good, as they too download straight from the source.

    Direct links aren't allowed, you need to edit that. We can talk about piracy, but no linking.

    I think you misunderstood the rule about not linking to pirated content.

    Maybe. I suppose we could always report the comments linking directly, and let the admin decide, couldn't we?

    No, you have misunderstood what the rule is about.

    You're not allowed to link to pirated content, such as a download link to the Barbie movie.

    But you're free to link to places that discuss the Barbie movie, places that discuss where to watch the Barbie movie, and places that teaches you how you can rip the Barbie movie yourself.

    The only things you cannot link to, are direct links to pirated content

    I've been told that in Telegram you can find bots to download music from Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Deezer. Probably Spotify too, but those are the ones I know.

    Depending on the bot you might not know where the audio is coming from. Most tools I know of download from youtube and add metadata (title, album, artist, ...) but sometimes also include noise from a music video.

    Though Bots in general are awesome.

    i find most music i search for in higher quality (doesn't have everything) on https://slavart.gamesdrive.net/

    it'd be a pain to download full playlists tho

    Download from Deezer or Qobuz instead.

    I have been using zotify and it is pretty great.

    According to the readme it downloads the songs from youtube or other sources and then adds metadata after reencoding. This means tracks might include unwanted audio from a yt music video.

    But I also used tools like this in the past, they work great.

    For listening, I use:

    1. SpotX for Windows
    2. xManager for Android. For downloading songs in my Spotify playlist, I use Spowlo for Android. It downloads songs at the specified quality (I choose 320 kbps and but you can download even in FLAC; I chose FLAC for some songs). So far, it has been able to download all my 1910 songs from my personal playlist.

    Is Spotify generally the highest digital format of music files available? Or do people source music through other paid or unpaid methods?

  • source
  • [–] 3 points 2 years ago

    You can try Deemix but the project Is dead but it still works it takes Spotify Playlist finds the songs on deezer and downloads it what sometimes gives you higher quality music then Spotify

    Spytify works well. It works by recording the audio output of your pc while Spotify plays. It'll produce audio files with all the song info filled in.

    Can also detect and mute ads if you don't have Spotify premium. If you do have it, you can also record with higher bitrate/quality.

    I found this tool https://www.sidify.de/ a while ago. They have a paid solution, which you could pirate a crack for on a site of your choice. Maybe not the best solution, but it downloads the Tracks/Playlists/Albums by recording the audio and adding all the metadata.

    You take a Deezer account and use Deemix :p
