I am making a script that can download high quality music files, currently from free-mp3-download.net and slavart.gamesdrive.net. Are there any others? I could look into torrenting things automatically and maybe looking into Lidarr? Not 100% on how that works but any ideas on what else I could add or links to other places I can download high quality music files lmk.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I've found Jackett that could be promising, but still open to other ideas/sites.
EDIT: Thank you all for your responses.

Use soulseek https://www.soulseekqt.net

But use nicotine+ as the client instead of soulseekqt. Is better.

I use Slskd

Runs as a web app, so I can remotely start downloads and have them drop into my music server

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Hell yeah that sounds good too!

[–] StickBugged@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Why is nicotine+ better?

[–] johnjamesautobahn 1 points 11 months ago

Does it work better than the slsknet.org client?

[–] junusdenised420@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 months ago

Try soulseek, has been a while since i used it but you can find almost anything there from my experience and in good quality too

I'm getting all my music for free from Youtube Music with yt-dlp

[–] Mike90210@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 11 months ago

Quality of YouTube downloads ain't anywhere near the 'high quality' OP is after.

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Best you get from YouTube is 128kbps (ish, it's VBR) without paying or 256kbps with Premium. I would consider high quality to start at 320kbps minimum.

[–] AceSLS@ani.social 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

That's not true, youtube uses opus with vbr up to 160kpbs without premium. Premium gets 256kbps aac. 320kbps with opus is overkill

Imo Yt Music has way better quality than atleast Spotify and it has almost everything you'd ever need

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You are correct that it's 160kbps, I spoke a bit too vaguely as most of them are listed between ~95-130 by my music software instead of the peak of 160. I still maintain that YT Premium are "good enough" and not "high quality", but that's a highly subjective statement. The point remains though that you cannot get that 256kbps without paying.

Those happen to be two of the three I have in my bookmarks, the third being https://doubledouble.top

[–] MrRazamataz@lemmy.razbot.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

Interesting, thank you
