Is there a program I can use to download and browse music, similar to Spotify?
For a few years now, I’ve been using and paying for Deezer, but recently they’ve started to do away with the features that I preferred about their platform, so I’m wondering of there is any options for me here.
So as people have suggested already there’s deemix if you’re happy to pay for a Premium subscription. If you want something somewhat more automated there are scripts that can be used with Lidarr to automatically download new releases from deemix.
Of course there’s also yt-dl to download from YouTube but the sound quality won’t match that of Deezer.
For Android there are apps such as Innertune, SimpMusic or ViMusic which let you stream and download from YouTube Music. There’s also Spotiflyer which I believe downloads tracks from YouTube again but links with a Spotify account for playlists etc.
For both Desktop and Android there’s also SpotTube which uses a Spotfy library and streams from YouTube Music.
i use revanced to crack YouTube Music for free. prior to that, I was downloading songs from YouTube just using a third party downloader and adding them to my Plex.
Yes, I need to go to the tracker and search for the artist I want, but I very rarely listen to something new, and my home server already has almost everything I ever listened to
You talk about Deezer dropping features but then the ones you list are super basic things Deezer still does, so I think you need to go into a bit more detail regarding what you want out of this.
Maybe we should have a wikiton event to update the organized knowledge and all replies to such question post pointing users to “our” docs would be more than welcome. Specially instead all these arguments that tbh have their own sense of truth on each side…
