1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Soulseek > Freyr > yt-dlp

    Soulseek is better for more popular tracks and artists and in normally better quality.

    Freyr can be fed a spotify/apple music link, find the highest quality version and pull the file from YouTube music or YouTube. Then it will automatically write the appropriate metadata and cover art to the songs.

    If all else fails, yt-dlp to directly rip from YouTube.

    Or buy it legally. In the past I've gotten songs by buying from Artists' website, bandcamp, and iTunes.

    Are those Android or Linux tools?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Nicotine+ is a FOSS multi-platform gui for Soulseek and runs on Linux, *BSD, macOS, and Windows.

    Freyr is a CLI tool that can either built manually for Linux I believe or ran in Docker on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

    yt-dlp is a CLI tool that has compiled binaries or can be installed through a package manager on Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows.

    As an alternative to Nicotine+ I use slskd in a docker hosted in my raspberry pi. That way I can search/download and share files even when my main computer isn't turned on.

    I don't know what Soulseek or Freyr are (I'll look into what they are), but you can use Seal (F-Droid) to download files using yt-dlp on Android.
