SpotiFlyer. It matched songs in a Spotify playlist to songs on YouTube and downloads them. Great if you like Spotify's curated and niche playlists but don't like their app or restrictions on playback.

Antenna Pod is great for podcasts but that's not really piracy.

[-] WICKEDSICK@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Why wouldn’t you just use deemix? You can download Spotify playlists and they’ll actually be 320kbps

[-] CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

I was able to find more info on Spotiflyer. There's not much more to it.

Apparently the domain expired for Deemix and the subreddit dedicated to it links people to the FAQ on the website.

I wasn't sure if it was similar to programs I've used in the past where you need to create a Deezer account and manually convert Spotify playlists with another service.

How is the quality of the music downloads from spotiflyer? Is it as good as 320 kbps mp3? Does sound more convenient than other options.

[-] CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah I'd say so. 320kbs I think is the default quality level

[-] Anamana@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago

If it downloads songs from YouTube they are not 320kbs

[-] CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Just telling you what the settings page says. It probably just defaults to the maximum quality level. 320kbs may be relevant to other platforms you can download from using Spotiflyer like SoundCloud.

That said I can't tell the different between 256 and 320 kbs.

[-] Anamana@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think YouTube only has 192kbps, YouTubeMusic has 256kbps. Might be possible it uses YT Music or Deezer for downloading. Are the intros of the videos and stuff included? If not it's likely a different source.

I checked the bitrate and the songs wer like 128 kbps or something like that.

[-] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 1 points 2 years ago

I thought M4A was better, long term?

I've been back in pirating for almost 2 years now yet my setup is really basic, just qbittorrent, 1337x and a VPN (not really necessary, but may become in the near future because.... National politics) Ive just bought a server and think of upping my game with the -arr "suite" and jellyfin (which I've set up, but I didn't host anything) I'm just too lazy and it's too easy to just open 1337x and search for a torrent.

[-] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

If nothing else, use Sonarr! Once you add a tv series to the monitored list, it'll automatically search/find/send the latest episode to your torrent client. There's something special about not having to think about it. Movies are pretty hit-or-miss, I've had Back To The Future on deck for a while now, but all it's finding are Blu-ray files too big for my zimaboard to transcode.

[-] monooxid@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I'm thinking about getting a Zimaboard as well (for full *arr suite with media streaming to my TV) - how do you like it so far? How is your experience with media streaming (Pley or jellyfin) with files other than big blu-ray files?

Strong recommendation for yams.media. It's essentially a shell script that installs all of the *arr products, qbittorrent, plex/emby/jellyfin and helps keep them up to date via docker. Also has easy support for VPN.

[-] landordragen@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

iPhone 13 Pro Max with sideloaded YouTube and Spotify. Also have Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid. When in need of offline content, I download from Real Debrid to my VLC folder on Files app and view on VLC.

How do you sideload? Do you re-sign it every 7 days with your Apple ID?

[-] landordragen@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. I use AltStore at the moment so every Sunday I manually refresh the sideloaded apps.

Sometimes it refreshes automatically when I’m on my Mac, but I prefer to do it manually anyway.

Tried Scarlet which allows more sideloaded apps but being captive to their certificate status isn’t for me. And I really only need YouTube and Spotify.

[-] sternail@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah I do it like this. I use altstore on the iphone and altserver on pc. Pc is running everyday anyways, and it updates automatically over wifi.

[-] Mountainmohawk@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

Any recommendations for a place to obtain ebooks?

[-] Bebo@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago

Libgen, zlibrary, annas-archive

[-] vd1n@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Reddit had an ebook subreddit. I think Calibre libraries or community colibre libraries that had a stick post with some good sources. Never had to use any other site.

Thanks! I’ll add it to my bookmarks!

[-] Gutless2615@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago

MAM is what’s always recommended.

[-] FinalBoy1975@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm going to break in to your house and steal yours! (Honestly, I won't, but that's how I felt reading your comment, lol) I want one so bad. I'll just keep on scrimpin' and savin'.

[-] dewritochan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

yt-dlp, tixati, soulseek-qt, jdownloader, and a short list of various ddl/torrent sites in my head. gog-games, nyaa, 1337x, rin, rutor, rutracker, and honestly if what i'm looking for isn't on any of that, i just assume i don't need it.

Care to elaborate for the plebs, my good sir.

Thank you for input!

Edit: This one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=idm.internet.download.manager

Do you get it from ggle or an APK website?

[-] free@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I don't know if that counts, but I love Vimusic app and NewPipe. Torrent-csv and Amnis player is a powerful combination on my phone, too. May the power of webtorrent be with you.
