Saw this on mastodon and thought I’d share it here.
Don’t use DoubleDouble.top. Many of its tracks are YouTube rips.
Use one of these websites instead. Every single tune is available in 320Kbps MP3 and FLAC. No rips nor re-encoding:
https://slavart.gamesdrive.net
https://free-mp3-download.netHow about for full album downloads?
If you want an app for your phone, Soulseek has done me absolute wonders. Shockingly it’s on the Google play store. It requires an account, but the app automatically makes you one when you use it iirc.
Are you talking about Seeker?
Ye
First site is dead or link is broken
It goes down all the time. It’ll be back.
Just today I had the lovely situation to get an ad break during two podcast episodes on Spotify mobile (Android).
Changing the track does work but the ad break stays. BUT I could fast forward the ad.I pay fucking Family Prem. for that shit. WTF?!
@The Haters: No, this was not a baked in ad by the podcast hoster but literally inserted by Spotify.I switched to AntennaPod for podcasts because of this. It’s also just a better experience - it auto downloads new episodes and deletes them after playing.
Podcast Addict has been able to do this forever.
I love Podcast Addict, but I don’t think you can set the sort per podcast. I want my entertainment ones to be oldest->newest and the reverse for things like news.
You definitely can. Podcast Addict has per podcast override settings
I was about to comment this! I learned about that app from a few Lemmy users recommending it, and it’s the real deal. Podcasts still generally have ads inserted in (which you can fast forward through), BUT I learned that you can set rules for your subscriptions which apply to each episode, like “skip the first 45s of each episode”. Go to subscriptions, tap the settings gear wheel, and find auto skip!
Yeah, Spotify made that deal with podcasts. They wanted them on their platform so bad, that they fucked every single paying customer they have.
I have Spotify Premium Duo, and it’s the same thing on podcasts.
This is great but is there something like this that let’s you upload a spotify playlist and buy that list drm free? I’m willing to pay if it means actual ownership
*Oh wait I didn’t see what sub this was
Lol hahaha are you a fellow pirate or nah?
I’m not against it but it’s not my first choice personally
Yeah sometime there is no other option.
I found double double website to be janky to download anything larger than 1gb (flac off tidal). I now use https://github.com/nathom/streamrip and haven’t looked back!
Why not just use SoulSeek?
SoulSeek doesn’t have podcasts.
Now, to be fair, I hate every podcast. But if I want to clip parts of the hosts being stupid to make fun of them in a blog, this utility and other spotify download tools are sadly needed

Yeah I mean I would recommend a tiny fraction but for every part there’s 200 parts Joe Rogan and mysteriously high production value unknown cryptocoin podcasts+websites that were created to trick our meemaws and pawpaws
While we are here, does anyone know of an open source implementation of a recommendation algorithm? I currently pay for YTM for my family and while it is the Bee’s Knees now, I can see the coming enshittification and would like to start planning ahead. Thanks!
I’ve seen a few recommendations for ListenBrainz lately, but I haven’t tried it yet so I can’t say
It’s nice :)
I second this, very nice indeed!
I also use their Picard software to check the downloaded album, then it updates the metadata automatically and places them in the appropriate folder structure.
Hmmm. What is the catch? Seems like a honeypot a little bit.
It downloads from YouTube.
Try harder, troll baby.
They’re not trolling. Download some tunes from there and then check them in a spectrum analyzer if you don’t believe them.
I posted some better alternatives elsewhere in this thread. Use those resources instead.
YouTube is not lossless. Downvote all you want. Facts are facts.
