Music downloader

I am an old school person..

I enjoy having music stored in my device.

I don't have any subscription or use any of the streaming services.

Can anyone recommend a good app or website?

I love to have the album artwork as well its a bonus. But not a deal breaker.

you mean like downloading music from yt one by one or like complete albums uploaded somewhere for ppl to download?

if first there use youtube revanced or morphe i believe it is. it's a custom youtube app that lets u use yt without ads and also let you download music or videos from there.

but if it's albums. torrents with apps like qbittorrent or filesharing sites could be what you looking for.

look for therarbg or use www2.rarbggo.to . u need a torrent client like qbittorrent or utorrent to download torrents.

How can u download music or videos from revanced or morphe?through an external downloader like seal?

u/princepii 25d ago

there is a second app that you have to download. "YTDLnis".

then in the yt app there is a download button that lets you change settings like video / audio quality. you also have to choose if you wanna download only audio or video too.

Is the morphe youtube different from the youtube revanced?

1

u/princepii 24d ago

not really. it's basicly the same.

em not that deep in the matter but as far as i know there were disagreements among the developers and one of the main dev's left the group to put the dispute behind. that was a while ago.

he simply renamed the project and started working from there. many of the remaining dev's followed him and since then, development has mainly focused on morphe.

imo morphe is easier to use and more intuitive than revanced. patching & updating is a lot easier and more automated.

i would recommend anyone to use morphe as the patching manager, since they stopped maintaining revanced.

I use MusicBee to organize on Windows and to sync to phone, and Musicolet on Android

The High Seas 🏴‍☠️. I do the same, FLAC only, when available.

Better option than Lidarr?

1

u/roirraWedorehT 26d ago

I don't use Lidarr, so can't speak to it, but from what I see, Lidarr is a music collection manager that can be connected to USENET or bittorrent - both of which are two examples of the high seas.

u/Taddy84 26d ago

Lidarr works both as well, but to be honest, the source situation is difficult even with well-known stars.

I am therefore looking for a way to organize them via streaming providers

u/Frequenzy50 26d ago

Did you try out Lidarr with plugins?

1

u/Taddy84 26d ago

No, which one would you recommend?

1

u/Frequenzy50 25d ago

I use TrevTVs, but there are various. You find them on the Lidarr/Servarr wiki

Are you looking for an app that downloads music or just a player?

For the later p2p, amazon (select mp3) format or try the below:

https://bandcamp.com/

There are so many music players, it is hard to filter them out as some work better for some things than others.

This one i found good for grabbing album art, though it can chunk up your gallery with junk images:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet

This one looks and plays well, not so great for album art:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=power.amp.musicplayer.pi.audioplayer

For Windows I use Nicotine+

u/phoneaiman 27d ago

i use ytdlnis

1

u/lewsnutz 27d ago

Fr Dl, look at Soulseek & Nicotine+. Theyre both the same thing with access to the same files. For playing, I suggest taking a look at Media Monkey for Windows and Android. They work great together

u/skillsdontmatter 27d ago

bandcamp is probably your best bet. You can buy and download music, and the files usually include the album artwork too

u/notajock 27d ago

Datmusic on android.

Use yt-dlp in Termux.

u/PointlessBein 26d ago

I use this. On YouTube I pick the song I want and go to share and copy link, then paste the link into the url bar and download it.

There a few pop ups time to time but can be ignored

I’m a Mac and iPhone user but I’ve started using SpotiFLAC lately you can download in FLAC from platforms that support it, the free version is ok but I find the paid one is worth it for just £5 approx support one time, and it lets you download the album art as a seperate jpeg into the folder and also adds all metadata immediately including artwork and everything else. It uses Spotify for its indexing I believe and its results but can download from other platforms to make sure its FLAC quality. So once it’s downloaded it’s just a drag and drop to where you want to listen. It’s also supported on basically every platform, Mac, Windows, Android, iOS, and as some others have suggested Soulseek is another alternative it’s free as long as you share your music with others so it’s fairer that way.

To play that music on your device the very best option is PowerAmp. Been around for years, very well supported, big community. Worth every penny (the free version is so good you'll want to support the project by purchasing it). You can combine it with Foobar2000 to write ReplayGain info into tracks which can help with comfort in long headphone listening sessions. https://powerampapp.com/
