The worst ever suggestion and unfortunately the most upvoted. Do not ever download music from youtube, free-mp3-download was a front-end for deezer with flacs and 320 kbps mp3 and music on youtube is only about 160 kbps, that's kinda okay for streaming but absolutely ridiculous if you want to download and keep it.

Well, most of popular in the world VPN services are already blocked. Even such simple things like Cloudflare's warp doesn't work, although it still possible to use it if you generate wireguard config and change endpoint, but there's a possibility that the wg protocol will be blocked in the future. The best way to bypass censorship in Russia right now is to use Chinese solutions for gfw circumvention such as shadowsocks/vmess/vless/trojan/etc. Or one can use self-hosted VPN servers, but it's very hard to find a way for paying for cloud services that are located outside of Russia.

The thing about second/third world countries is that if they don't even care about what you download, they still care about what kind of resources you visit. So, you still have to use various tools for censorship circumvention, and conventional vpn services generally don't work. Thus people often use tor, i2p, etc, but not for downloading (although tor, for instance, often doesn't work without bridges in such countries). And to be honest, downloading via tor is a very bad idea, that's not how it should be used.

It will be funny if they manage to implement microtransactions in some way.

It is still used. There are lots of various hubs, a bunch of niche hubs with content that is almost impossible to find anywhere else, especially if it's something really old and obscure, not all of them are public. Speaking of clients, try AirDC++ for instance, thats what I use right now

  1. spotx - well, I tried, but honestly, I don't need one more app especially when everything works in the browser. Plus, I prefer portable setups and there's no portable version of spotx, so, it's pretty useless for me.
  2. It's explicitly said on the Spowlo GitHub page that they use YouTube for downloading, so, there's no way to get 320 kbps tracks or flacs. Instead, I'd recommend to try some Qobuz/Deezer-based solutions, there are quite a few of them there. Or use slavart or something like this, or good old soulseek, there's even an Android client for it.

Well, that's very specific case to be honest. In that case you can just download whatever you want beforehand, from soulseek, for instance. Generally people make preparations in advance for such things.

I'm sure you were thinking about Eyjafjallajökull.

The ads alone would make me throw off my headset in disgust.

For a mobile, there is a modded apk,I've never heard ads there. For a PC, web player in Firefox with uBlock Origin, there are no ads at all there. The same goes for Tidal, I've never paid for these apps.

Well, the easiest way to find where the save files are located is to check out pcgamingwiki.

Just look at the Rui's signature on the forum since most of uploads were his:

Well, it had to happen eventually. All the google drive uploads from my account are now inaccessible, due to me refusing to pay 10x more for unlimited storage, and consequently Google forcing authorization request for each and everyone of the links. It was great while it lasted. I'll leave the google drive bypass method here nonetheless, who knows, might be useful one day.
