For a few years now, I've been using and paying for Deezer, but recently they've started to do away with the features that I preferred about their platform, so I'm wondering of there is any options for me here.

You talk about Deezer dropping features but then the ones you list are super basic things Deezer still does, so I think you need to go into a bit more detail regarding what you want out of this.

I use remote transmission + jellyfin

Yes, I need to go to the tracker and search for the artist I want, but I very rarely listen to something new, and my home server already has almost everything I ever listened to

Same here but with Lidarr to simplify the searching.

I wanted to mention jellyseerr, it probably doesn't support music, but I have plans to set it up for everything else

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Jellyseerr doesn't do music, but Ombi does. I run them both, with Ombi set for music only.

Interesting, ombi sounds really cool though

Now I want to test it, or probably later, today my server's power supply died 😄

Tidal lets you download entire albums and playlists. And you can import your playlists from Spotify.

I think spotube works fine on the desktop

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I use deemix and jellyfin for playback. Browsing on deemix is not as good as spotube but I like it.

Does Deemix still exist somewhere? the domain is expired.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

There's a docker container that I run on my server.

That's the container I use. It's good enough imo.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

I use soulseek for downloading, and then MusicBee for playing my music.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Spotiflyer/Soundbound works great for me.

i use revanced to crack YouTube Music for free. prior to that, I was downloading songs from YouTube just using a third party downloader and adding them to my Plex.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What platform are you using?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Deezer. It says in the post

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No I mean what OS? Are you wanting for desktop of mobile?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Fedora Linux, and both Android and Desktop. I've already gotten a lit of suggestions, but I'd be happy to also hear yours.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

So as people have suggested already there's deemix if you're happy to pay for a Premium subscription. If you want something somewhat more automated there are scripts that can be used with Lidarr to automatically download new releases from deemix.

Of course there's also yt-dl to download from YouTube but the sound quality won't match that of Deezer.

For Android there are apps such as Innertune, SimpMusic or ViMusic which let you stream and download from YouTube Music. There's also Spotiflyer which I believe downloads tracks from YouTube again but links with a Spotify account for playlists etc.

For both Desktop and Android there's also SpotTube which uses a Spotfy library and streams from YouTube Music.
