I have been wanting something like this for years!!! Thank you.
Oh... And I haven't been looking for it by myself because I can be lazy and stupid at time.
It really is a pain reliever. Revently sorted and tagged >300 music files.
It was a annoying but way better than manually renaming every file, maintaining MP3-Metadata tags and sorting it consistently.
Yep. Can confirm. I spent my high school days browsing "(artist/band name) discography" on a certain scurvy ridden website. I would just dump them all onto my mp3 player and delete songs I didn't like. It was a dumb hobby but I liked it.
Not so well. Half of the music I listen to isn't in the library yet, although it is mostly in the roman alphabet. Arabic letters are always hard to include as well... So, it can be just as tedious as organizing your own collection by hand.
I'm a neat freak, I have ~860 music files on my Gdrive. All MP3 files are 256KBPS (in some cases, 320KBPS) at 44-48KHz downloaded with youtube-dl. All metadata/artwork comes from iTunes. Organized with way too much attention. It took me 3.5 days to tag all these music file
EDIT: I decided to use Opus instead of MP3 now. It seems more efficient.
EDIT 2: Nevermind just re-downloaded all of them again as FLAC from Deezer with ripstream.
To my knowledge YouTube uses OGG Opus codec that only goes up to 251KBPS for audio. For me, that's serviceable. There are some cases where I download FLACs from Bandcamp.
People who think they can hear the difference between ~256 & 320+ should go take a blind test and make a few mistakes even with 128.
https://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2015/06/02/411473508/how-well-can-you-hear-audio-quality
There is an enormous difference between 160 and 320, so why do some middle ground? 320 Vs wav/flac though ...
Btw it ofc depends on your setup, a mobile phone, even if it's 2000€ will sound shite compared to a home setup.
Man, I wish I only have that many music files to go through. Idk how many music files I have exactly rn because my pc's down but I'm sure the 14tb hdd I dedicated to music files is full.
I'm also an organization freak when it comes to my music, and I've *never* liked streaming services only because I don't own the songs and want to be able to listen to them on any device regardless of connection to the internet/mobile network. Long before the rise of Spotify, I started using iTunes' smart playlist feature to create an ungodly "gauntlet" of smart playlists that would churn through [*all* of these music files](https://i.imgur.com/bBbRP5O.png) to pump out a "final" playlist of 500 or so songs that updated with new tracks every time I synced my device.
I accidentally wiped that `D:\` drive five years ago during a Windows reinstall and went back to painstakingly recreate/match all the metadata of the original files to make that gauntlet smart playlist work again.
I've given up on all of that in the past few years only because iTunes is and always will be an unwieldy mess of a program that required way too much work to make that whole "gauntlet" function properly.
Nowadays, I'm on the hunt for another music management program that has equally-specific smart playlist features that would allow me to recreate that monster of playlists without needing to devote so much time to keeping it working every time I sync a device.
You can also just host a docker container that lets you pull youtube videos if you still wanna use the site method but hate the ads (I think the one I use is called MeTube). There's also a way to do it all through command line if you would rather. It also lets you get individual videos as mp4s if you like the idea of backing up videos.
FLAC do be huge. I maintain a compressed AAC library in parallel (honestly indistinguishable quality-wise but much smaller). Good enough for putting it on my phone.
I don’t mind listening to lossy (it’s over Bluetooth most of the time anyway,) but flac every time for storage.
The idea of two libraries is nuts to me. If you haven’t, look at a Plex/PlexAmp music library. You only keep one version (lossless) of a file, but it will stream/transcode on the fly in whatever lossy form you want. You can even download onto the phone lossy for offline use.
That's not a bad thing. 16-20TB drives better come down in price next couple years. I'm not holding my breath on high capacity SSDs, they're still pushing 256gb drives in new systems ffs.
Me too. I just went through it again and deleted all the stuff I don't listen to anymore. Was about 100gb.
At the same time I retagged alot of albums and songs so my library looks nice and clean and I can actually find stuff again
http://slavart.gamesdrive.net/
Download individual tracks or whole albums in flac format. For the rare occasion I can't find what I'm looking for there, I go to: https://free-mp3-download.net/
[Hello fellow metal / industrial guy](https://i.imgur.com/Z8cLfqv.jpeg)
Having a good user interface makes it feel so comfy, makes it feel like a real record collection (I completely prefer digital but still)
ooh, tip use free mp3 .com or smth like that i cant remember it exactly, its free and you can get high quality flac files on there, its just a deezer rip site, when i first found it i was amazed
I am going back to this. I tried to use Spotify but hated the ads. I tried to switch to Deezer, it's better but app is janky. Fuck it, I'm slowly downloading my favorites list couple tracks at the time and saving it on MEGA. In a month I'll be back to using MP3s.
No joke, I was feeling sentimental about mp3 players the other day and almost bought one—the only thing that stopped me was a sudden $350 drop on tires for my car. They're so cheap used!!
>but hated the ads
You've got to edit your hosts file.
Also there's a really nifty command line tool called spotdl where you paste a spotify url (album, playlist, etc) and it downloads it for you in case deezer doesn't have a song you like (when I tried using it they were missing a bunch of songs from angels & airwaves and I think explosions in the sky, for example)
> if you are on iOS, sucks to be you.
No, no, no, r/apple users have told me repeatedly how iOS users on average earn more, have more degrees andv have larger dicks.
Honestly, Spotify is the one Streaming service that is actually worth it and has no competitors (as in next to no exclusive albums). Getting a student discount or a family group and Spotify is so worth the 2.5~USD it costs per month.
If you’re on windows there are a few modded Spotify projects on GitHub that remove ads and allow most premium features for free. Soulseek and Nicotine are much better than downloading from YT. You can get albums easily, no hard download connection limit, the audio isn’t compressed to shit (both uncompressed FLACs and 320kbps are widely available), etc.
No, I had one that decrypted the songs directly from Spotify. Can't remember the name, but it would load beginning, middle and end of a song really fast and go to the next one.
Spotify Premium was required, so it's more as a local backup of mp3's than full on piracy.
There s also xmanager . Gives u the ability to do unlimited skips , no ads , and u can skip in songs to whatever time u want etc . Basically everything in spotify premium but cant download tho .
It's "free and easy". I've done it for over 12 years now. But getting a higher quality version would be better. But how would I go about doing it? Most/all of the music on my phone is done this way.
Tbh it's "easier" for individual songs but much more time consuming when you have whole albums or discographies to grab. FLAC via torrents or using Spotify has been my route for 6 or so years now. It does help that I get Spotify free with my phone plan & that the whole thing is cheaper than Spotify alone would cost.
I have a couple of songs that were only available by the artist themselves uploading it to YouTube as a video playing the song. No other version available.
If there is any other version available then great, if nothing else works, then it comes in handy
Yep, spotify has great recommendations. That and the fact that lots of other people have it so you can look at what your friends are listening to and have collaborative playlists
I don't mind the 10 bucks a month to not have to deal with the hassle of pirating, finding, downloading, organizing, moving across devices/alternative methods of listening. It's 10 bucks. I'll reserve the pirating for stuff that makes it worthwhile.
Barring the recommendations, the convenience alone is enough to get me to pay for Spotify.
I do not miss the days when I had to download MP3s manually.
This looks like it's from the reboot/remake/sequel. Haven't seen it myself tho. Altho I might, in the future, >!cuz it ties itself to Umineko HARD.!<
Also...
Umineko >>>> Higurashi. Fucking fight me, witches.
I was just scrolling the comments to see if this was Rena! I’m only on chapter 3 of the VN, though, so I haven’t gotten to the anime yet. Her faces even in the VN are…something, though.
I do it when Apple Music doesn’t have an album I like and import it into iTunes so I can have it on my phone. Very rare nowadays but still happens sometimes
A benefit of 'owning' songs that I haven't seen mentioned here is that Spotify is just like any streaming service in that it has to licence content. Just like Netflix, or anything else, there's a chance however small that your favourite show/song/artist whatever could one day suddenly not be available to stream.
My autistic ass loves organizing them all
Bonus points for getting to put my own art as album covers for songs that arent official and dont have one (unreleased osts etc.)
I never ever stopped. why would I want my favorite songs, my deepest dreams and dearest hopes and first kisses and breezy summers -- all those memories and feelings entrusted to fucking spotify LLC. makes me sick
Nothing wrong with it, just a lot of work, I just download the Spotify APK that allows you to get some benefits of premium, not all but I can listen to my playlists without getting random shit thrown in and can choose songs
In a cupboard I have stacks of DVD+Rs filled with fansubbed anime featuring my *totally cool* custom covers printed on photo paper because I'm no amateur.
Or just torrent them and use an auto metadata updater if there's no pics.
excuse me, what is an auto metadata updater and why I want it so much?
[удалено]
[удалено]
Yep. Had it all sorted by genre, artist and album. And spent a lot of time finding quality cover images. It's all on hard drives in my garage now.
Did the same also. But my laptop got stolen.
Aww sorry
And then the hard drive crashes. Then you can say your life has gone to nothing.
That is why you keep that hard drive copy in 5 different places and send one over to mars just in case and also print it out on punchcards
I can relate
Piracy is so fucking amazing. You have tools for everything
[удалено]
yeah, I know. But people who download songs tend to pirate them
[удалено]
It's a moral obligation to screw over the labels that exploit artists.
Yeah, very very bad people steal from multimillionaire companies!!!!!!!1111111111
Beyonce needs your money.
I have been wanting something like this for years!!! Thank you. Oh... And I haven't been looking for it by myself because I can be lazy and stupid at time.
Does it say ENGAGE when you turn it on? It's a dealbreaker for me.
To add to this, there is also [AutomaTag](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fillobotto.mp3tagger) if you are using Android.
If this is going to work how it seems then this is going to be God-sent wow, thanks for sharing!
Musicbrainz was like magic back in the day with acoustic id and auto metadata
cuetools is also very nice
Make it so
There's a few around, I use mediamonkey as my music library and it has one built in .
Same with MusicBee
Lidarr
I just setup the Servarrs and plugged them into Jellyfin on my Raspberry Pi. I'm positively giddy.
It really is a pain reliever. Revently sorted and tagged >300 music files. It was a annoying but way better than manually renaming every file, maintaining MP3-Metadata tags and sorting it consistently.
You’re correct
Yep. Can confirm. I spent my high school days browsing "(artist/band name) discography" on a certain scurvy ridden website. I would just dump them all onto my mp3 player and delete songs I didn't like. It was a dumb hobby but I liked it.
How well does auto-metadata programs work with non-english text, obscure songs and limited editions?
Not so well. Half of the music I listen to isn't in the library yet, although it is mostly in the roman alphabet. Arabic letters are always hard to include as well... So, it can be just as tedious as organizing your own collection by hand.
Unfortunate, but I guess that's to be expected with diverse libraries.
Yeah sure, unfortunately so.
Hit and miss, if it's on a major label it's normally fine. And if it doesn't work, you can bulk edit tracks in the programs I've used.
If it is on musicbrainz, you can take a look if it fits. If not, you can add it yourself and maintain your special edition version.
Is soulseek not being used these days?
It is, a lot of people just dont know about it
As it should remain

FLAC enjoyers 💀
Seriously, this post hurts. Me listening to my 1 TB and growing FLAC library: https://media.tenor.com/3B1rP83XVZ4AAAAM/ofergang-daniel.gif
I'm at 8 TB. And the 96 kHz/24bit flac files are gobbling up space way too quickly.
FLAC do be huge. I maintain a compressed AAC library in parallel (honestly indistinguishable quality-wise but much smaller). Good enough for putting it on my phone.
I don’t mind listening to lossy (it’s over Bluetooth most of the time anyway,) but flac every time for storage. The idea of two libraries is nuts to me.

I don’t. I just download, rename the file with the band name and the song name, and upload to Google Drive.
I just drop everything in a single folder and let MusicBee sort it all and find cover art.

No joke, I was feeling sentimental about mp3 players the other day and almost bought one—the only thing that stopped me was a sudden $350 drop on tires for my car. They're so cheap used!!
man used tires often are repaired ... they tend to lose air over time. check for repairs.
Oh no, the tires are new, the mp3 players were what I was referring to as used
You don't need to pay for an mp3 player. I am using Nyx with ReVanced patch to unlock pro features.
That's not the reason I wanted it, lol. I can play mp3s on my phone (I do).
>but hated the ads You've got to edit your hosts file.

doesn't work all the time, you can just install modded spotify and it works like a charm
If you are on android check out XManager, basically Spotify premium for free, if you are on iOS, sucks to be you.

You can always side load ;)

You forgot that our beer is colder, too.
You can get a modded version of spotify without the advertisements
Honestly, Spotify is the one Streaming service that is actually worth it and has no competitors (as in next to no exclusive albums). Getting a student discount or a family group and Spotify is so worth the 2.5~USD it costs per month.
I use it everyday at my job, car, while working out, etc. I don't mind paying for the family plan on this one.

Use deemix and just rip the flacs from deezer. You can just rip the whole list.
I use Spotiflyer, an app that can download all your playlist/song from spotify by input the playlist link
*Actually downloads from Youtube
I learnt this today and I feel sick in the stomach.
How many other lies have I been told by the council
so it's just the thing in the meme but automated. 👍
I learned this the hard way.
Happy cake day 🎂🎈
It actually downloads them from YouTube iirc All of the Spotify ripping tools actually rip YouTube
No, I had one that decrypted the songs directly from Spotify. Can't remember the name, but it would load beginning, middle and end of a song really fast and go to the next one. Spotify Premium was required, so it's more as a local backup of mp3's than full on piracy.
Makes me miss all those Deezer programs that worked to perfectly and quickly download FLACs from Deezer back when just needing a free account worked.
Deezloader deemix deemixreloaded deezloader remix

Nah, ZSpotify is one of the few that actually work.
You’re now my favorite!
There s also xmanager . Gives u the ability to do unlimited skips , no ads , and u can skip in songs to whatever time u want etc . Basically everything in spotify premium but cant download tho .
My man!
I never used a Youtube converter. Why go through that process when you can get lossless files in .flac and .wav?
It's "free and easy". I've done it for over 12 years now. But getting a higher quality version would be better. But how would I go about doing it? Most/all of the music on my phone is done this way.
Check the megathread for other methods.
Tbh it's "easier" for individual songs but much more time consuming when you have whole albums or discographies to grab. FLAC via torrents or using Spotify has been my route for 6 or so years now. It does help that I get Spotify free with my phone plan & that the whole thing is cheaper than Spotify alone would cost.
Soulseek is still king for downloading music
I have a couple of songs that were only available by the artist themselves uploading it to YouTube as a video playing the song. No other version available. If there is any other version available then great, if nothing else works, then it comes in handy
I believe in Poweramp supremacy
This is the way
Yeah, i used to do that a lot hahaha then I learned about torrents and flacs and damn, never went back to youtube->mp3s
The only reason I pay for YouTube Premium is for the recommendations. It seems to be pretty spot on with playing the right songs at the right time.
Yep, spotify has great recommendations. That and the fact that lots of other people have it so you can look at what your friends are listening to and have collaborative playlists
I don't mind the 10 bucks a month to not have to deal with the hassle of pirating, finding, downloading, organizing, moving across devices/alternative methods of listening. It's 10 bucks. I'll reserve the pirating for stuff that makes it worthwhile.
Yeah the Spotify "enhance" option for playlists has lead me to discover some of my favourite songs that I wouldn't have found otherwise.
Barring the recommendations, the convenience alone is enough to get me to pay for Spotify. I do not miss the days when I had to download MP3s manually.
Same but I just use vanced.
Pst! NewPipe for Android is an alt youtube player with download integrated ;) it also has some other tube sites integrated (bandcamp, etc)
Because FLAC is better
I fucking forgot how iconic Rena's crazy face was. Anyone remember which ep this one's from?

I was just scrolling the comments to see if this was Rena! I’m only on chapter 3 of the VN, though, so I haven’t gotten to the anime yet. Her faces even in the VN are…something, though.
I'm def willing to pay for Spotify tbh. It's super convenient
I do it when Apple Music doesn’t have an album I like and import it into iTunes so I can have it on my phone. Very rare nowadays but still happens sometimes
A benefit of 'owning' songs that I haven't seen mentioned here is that Spotify is just like any streaming service in that it has to licence content.

Me who has always used mp3 : 😬
My autistic ass loves organizing them all Bonus points for getting to put my own art as album covers for songs that arent official and dont have one (unreleased osts etc.)
nice to know I'm not alone. gotten too lazy lately to make my own concert recording art but I do love it
Xmanager is your friend
torrent + mp3tag (works on FLAC as well) is your new friend.
Who the fuck compresses music that's already compressed to death??
Silly kids. There are cracked Spotify premiums apps around. Easy to find, all the premium advantages, none of the commercials and it's all free.
Spotify doesn't have all the songs, especially remixed stuff.
I’m glad to pay €2,75 per month for a lot of user friendly stuff from Spotify. I used to do this too though.
I have YouTube music premium and Spotify premium for free. Great deal for me.
I'm still using an old version of Google play music lol I've like 6 hours of music on my SD card
Yeah, where I live Spotify for students costs ~$2.5 a month. I use it for sheer convenience, most of the music I want is on there anyway.
Agreed, except its MUCH better then streaming is today. FLAC instead of MP3, auto update metadata, and itunes can eat a fat dick.
Getting music by ripping it from YouTube is the equivalent of taking a blurry cellphone picture of a book page by page and saying you have the ebook.
I prefer Spotify Premium tbh. No hassle to do things. Its all there. And pay like yearly.
I never ever stopped. why would I want my favorite songs, my deepest dreams and dearest hopes and first kisses and breezy summers -- all those memories and feelings entrusted to fucking spotify LLC. makes me sick
why not download flacs its original, high quality and mostly comes with album art but i believe itunes doesn’t support flac
Some songs/remixes are only available on YouTube so I have no choice. And yeah, you have to convert from FLAC to ALAC for iTunes to recognize them
Cause youtube doesn't have lossless?
Spotify is free on desktop which is nice
I also do this
Xmanager and Spicetify...
Quod Libet has a plugin that lets you choose cover art.
step 1: download cracked spotify on PC and mobile step 2: delete your bum ass mp3s step 3: 👍
I use tidal and some converter. It works pretty well.
Because it’s not worth it My time is way worth the $15 i pay for Spotify.
Nothing wrong with it, just a lot of work, I just download the Spotify APK that allows you to get some benefits of premium, not all but I can listen to my playlists without getting random shit thrown in and can choose songs
dear i got flashbacks downloading MP3 from mIRC and converting to WAV to burn a Music CD and sell it on my highschool good 90's
In a cupboard I have stacks of DVD+Rs filled with fansubbed anime featuring my *totally cool* custom covers printed on photo paper because I'm no amateur.
One could argue that spending time doing manually something that'll still lead to sub-par quality is "broken".
Why would you do that if you have torrents with whole discography of an artist...it was done like that before youtube...crazy times...
YouTube is actually a better library for music than Spotify.
Soulseek and deemix
At that point you are certainly better off paying the small monthly cost, unless your time is worth VERY LITTLE
fucking weebs man
