I've been trying to get off of Spotify for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to spend on a Deezer or Tidal subscription, which is required to listen to more than 30 seconds of a song. I also have an extremely large playlist that needs transferring, so I need an unlimited version of FreeYourMusic if it exists. Thanks! Edit: Thanks for all the replies and advice! Unfortunately, I'm too stupid for almost all of it, but I appreciate it anyways. The solution I went with is using Newpipe on Android and a Spotify adblocker called Blockify on pc. Have a good day!

Re: music transfer app

I quite liked Playlisty.

Relatively cheap and unlocked forever, unlike some who have IAP that are double the price and only allow full app access for a few weeks/month.

https://github.com/mostafaalagamy/Metrolist alternate youtube music app. youtube account recommended. no ads. frequent updates. oled support.

https://github.com/badmannersteam/murglar-downloads/releases desktop and droid app. supports russian stream services, deezer, soundcloud. no ads.

https://moddroid.com/apps/music/deezer-hq/ cracked deezer. no ads.

you can look around for cracked spotify or other cracked stuff on the mobilism forums, but spotify sometimes bans those cliens, and might shadowban your account as well.

whatever you do, you gonna support the devil by choosing any mainstream music service. so keep using them for free and support the bands with money or going to concerts. discs are overrated, merch gives them low commission.

if you wait a few hours the "you should selfhost" comments will arrive.

Previously a program called "sidify" was able to rip full quality audio files from Spotify including a Playlist

Unsure if it still works but its worth checking out. However, there's just one issue: the "download" is the length of each song played end to end.

Worth it if you dont have any other options

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago

there's another one called SpotDL. It is pretty decent.

If the full playtime is required to download, then it's probably not "full quality", but re-encoding it as it plays which will definitely not satisfy quality snobs.

iBroadcast

Download music using Nicotine+, stream music from youtube.

Sorry it's run by the devil, but it is free. On your phone you can listen without ads if you use an adblocker with the desktop version of the site.

You can also listen to internet radio using Pandora. Pithos is a free client that doesn't play ads. Adblockers work on the desktop site, and you can download Blokada 5 from their website to block ads on the Android app.

Doesn't look like it.

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.today 1 points 5 days ago

Of course it isn't.

Wavlake is a good option. Keep in mind, though, that no popular music of today (think The Weekend, Eilish, etc.) will be on this platform. Instead, it'll be Bitcoiners who also produce music and podcasts.

You don't have to use BTC with a Lightning Network wallet, though, as that's option. Nostr is another option that you can use, but again, that's optional.

Otherwise, use a net to catch the music you want. If you get the reference, then you know I'm a viewer of Louis Rossmann's content.
