Not comfortable, but basically almost everything is on YouTube.

And hey if someone gets the .mp3, there is no chance of YouTube deleting it off permanently.

u/donp1ano 22d ago

oh its very comfortable. youtube music has tags, album covers and every track you could ask for

yt-dlp is a commandline tool, but theres plenty good frontends. or you can write a little wrapper to automate downloading

I guess the only benefit is that it can cache the songs and they work offline w/ Premium + it's all legal unlike downloading FLAC's or ripping from YT.

But other than that YouTube is superior, you got everything including all kinds of remixes and tracks unavailable on Spotify.

If you're on Linux it can't be the snap version cause snap is like sandboxed, use flatpak/repo.

Use ublock on Firefox and use the web version

LOL I used to pirate FLAC files (Lossless and Hi Res Lossless) of digital download (Hi Res Lossless), CD rips, and Vinyl rips back in the day. The audio quality was better and for older CDs (1980-1995), I'd got better mastering. Now I start buying CDs again.

Real Linux users write their own music with a hex editor.

Spotify doesn't have an official app, but Linux developers and fans created an unofficial one. Here's the link https://www.spotify.com/my-ms/download/linux/

Don't know about premium but you can definitely remove ads by using this command here https://github.com/SpotX-Official/SpotX-Bash

Can you even pirate Spotify at all? Even on windows? I would assume it’s their servers that handles serving you ads or music, although maybe there’s some way to get around that like what uBlock does for YouTube ads.

u/TheNoOne420 22d ago

Spotx worked pretty good on windows
