SpotiFlyer. It matches 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.

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

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.

I used to use it, but I think it development got discontinued. Might still work but that is probably why it isn't suggested as an option anymore on fmhy.

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.

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

[-] Anamana@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago

If it downloads songs from YouTube they are not 320kbs

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.

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.

There's no intros. It's the same tracks as Spotify as far as I can tell. That said it isn't always able to find more obscure artists. It can be hit and miss

I think newpipe also has 360 as an option and it uses yt and ytm

Now that you say that it sounds corrent. Maybe I was thinking of ymusic.

256 Vs 320 is a bit hard, but some music gets less good in 256 (say Karajan with violines, Vivaldi summer for example. Probably one of the hardest music's to compress IMO) so its 320 for me. No worries any more or that's what I feel.

[-] Rabbit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 1 points 1 year ago

I thought M4A was better, long term?

[-] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I like Vorbis/Ogg, which Spotify uses, because it's FOSS, but AAC/M4A is just has good, een a bit better at very low bitrates (<=64kbs)

People still use mp3 because, who knows, tradition.

[-] vd1n@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just burn it to a cd and it brings it back to original lossless quality. Trust me. Let me know if you need more high quality info.

[-] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah the statistics page is a neat addition I don't think I've seen on other podcast managers.
