I am looking to save all the music I like on hardisks due to the recent closure of rarbg which was a wake up call “unless you save it you don’t own it”. So if anyone knows a way to download playlists instead of each single song I will be thankful!

    Yes, the majority of what I found are bots that get you YouTube uploads which do not really work as music videos have like 30 secs of movie-like intros etc.

    I started doing it manually, but it takes so much time, it would take me a few months to do it, feels like LimeWire days haha

      don’t get music from streaming services because it’s too low quality. instead hunt for FLAC format. it’s lossless.

      i pay for spotify premium (yes i hate ads THAT much) and when i download songs with it for playing offline there’s a weird high gate cutoff which i can clearly notice and sounds like a dogwhistle to me. pretty sure it’s the encryption rather than the sound quality tho. don’t go that option - it removes too much of the shape of the music, fuzzes out too many subtle details.

      if you’re willing to pay for it, bandcamp.

        I’ve been using Tidal and quite liking it. Gotta check my playlist once a month though, licensing on tidal is kind of weird.

        Any recommendations on where to do this?
