Do I use a website to download songs off of YouTube or Spotify?
Where should I store the music? I haven’t any clue about self-hosting. I’m running GrapheneOS, is it enough to save the songs in Files and play in an app like Auxio? Maybe sync with SyncThing?
What’s the best way to compress mp3 files but still retain the quality (even possible)?
Could really use some help as I’m very inexperienced. :)
Aw, I understand ~50.000words can be overwhelming.😅
Hm, I dont know if there’s anything better than the tools I talk about. This guide is a bit too compicated and long, so I’ll try to re-word it, hoping you can now follow it:
Soulseek: You just use a username and a password. No emails or anything. Search and download.
Deemix: You dont need to have a personal deemix account. You can find on some doubious sites “arls” for accounts. Arl is like the user token. They are long alphanumeric strings which essentially are used instead of username+password. You can simply find one online and put it in deezer. (You can try arls found here: https://www.arldeemix.com/2024/05/arl-deemix.html?m=1 )
To use it with spotify (like downloading a spotify playlist in deemix), its kinda more complex. You can see the steps from this post on reddit here:
I suggest deemix because you can get very high quality music (in batches too) and it’s open source.
Lastly, if you simply want to get stuff from youtube without account and such:
ytDownloader acts as a gui for yt-dpl (open source, PC).
Seal acts as a gui for yt-dpl (open source, Android).
Almost certainly there are websites that may use yt-dlp and can download playlists though.
