What quality are you getting from downloading from Spotify?

Personally, I use Deezer + Deemix to download FLAC for offline play and it's great!

320kbit/s Opus. It's pretty okay, but there's some compression (in the audio sense) going on, so that some songs sound very noticeably worse. Tool for example lost all its, well, toolness.

Do you need a paying account for it to work? I didn't realise all these piracy apps existed for music on Linux. They completely passed me by!

I think you do need an account (which could be trials) because you have to use an ARL or your credentials to login to Deemix with.

I personally pay for a Deezer family plan and just use offline play mainly for my car.

From what I remember MP3DownloadNet uses the Deezer API to download MP3s and FLAC. I used to collect music with this site before it all the ads but it seems like it's still working.

No, you don't need to pay for it. There are plenty of telegram bots and free premium ARLs on the net

Thought Deemix was dead? I went looking for an updated version last month and couldn't find anything.

[–] copycat@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It is dead, but the app still works.

No forks? Weird it'd be abandoned if it still works.
