I have ~100 users downloaded ~1000 of my files in the last week alone. Music piracy is still alive and kicking. I encourage everyone to download and install SoulseekQT/Nicotine+/Seeker-Android and share whatever kind of music you have for everybody to download. Let's bring back music piracy!

You guys don't just download stuff with yt2mp3?

You don't get high quality mp3s from that.

I use deemix for 320kbps, I originally had FLAC but as almost 100% of my listening is remote from my server I found 320 to be great.

I'm no Hi-Fi listener, but YT rips suck.

Is there something wrong with my ear that I can't distinguish between music quality levels?

[–] chuuqovn@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Keeping FLAC is such a hassle, it's not even worth.

I mostly listen to jazz, blues and classical. I use rutracker which has everything I want and in lossless formats. Mp3s too but I'm more interested in lossless.

yt-dlp is the way my friend, I got a command to download a specific playlist of mine every once in a while:

alias youtube-dl-playlist-guardar="yt-dlp -x -f bestaudio --external-downloader aria2c --external-downloader-args '-c -j 3 -x 3 -s 3 -k 1M' --ignore-errors --continue --audio-format mp3 'https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=_______'"

Thank you for this! I'll put it in a bash script and roll with it!

[–] croobat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You are very welcome! I use it with aria2, it's opcional but recommended, in case you don't want it you can strip the --external-downloader and -args part :)

[–] RebornAsh@lemdit.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting. so, let me get this: how are you combining the yt-dl downloader with aria2? Like, you use yt-dl for getting the opus/ripping the vid, and feeding that to aria2 to actually download?

[–] croobat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's exactly it, I use aria2 pretty much for parallel downloads (also to be able to resume them).

[–] RebornAsh@lemdit.com 2 points 1 year ago

Is yt-dl limited when it comes to downloading?
