Soulseek (nicotine) gang unite!
Lidarr for most, soulseek (slskd) for anything Lidarr can't get in FLAC
I literally make a Spotify playlist then run it through a website that lets me download metadata and a MP3 of the song (usually it's from YouTube). I usually look on Bandcamp for albums I like tho because .flac sounds slightly better.
If you just want to download music, nothing can beat Soulseek.
free-mp3-download.net is the best. It rips FLACs directly from Deezer.
I'm not a big fan of the -arr suite so I use Headphones.
Any reason why?
I don't support the .NET Framework which is a dependency of most (all?) of the -arr suite. It's a fairly divisive and niche argument so I didn't bring it up initially, but I try to reduce my reliance on proprietary software and hardware as much as possible.
Understandable. Have a good day.
Onthespot is awesome
Soulseek (nicotine+) and Slavart on divolt (FLAC files from Deezer and Qobuz).
Spot-dl
Install with pipx
Qobuz-dl.
Youtube-dl to download things in flac format from youtube (and sometimes rarely other sites when what i want isn't on youtube, which is rare because people upload everything under the sun). I haven't the need for anything more complicated.
flac format from YouTube
WHY? YouTube doesn't have lossless audio. Best you can do is get the 160k Opus without re-encoding.
Nicotine+ to grab what I want, EasyTAG to edit metadata, move the files to my self hosted instance of Ampache which I can then access either with SublimeMusic on desktop or SubStreamer on my phone if I'm traveling.
Seal to download from YouTube on Android and then I just use vlc to listen to them
