This is probably a ridiculous question, but I usually stream from my laptop to my LG tv or my phone to any other tv, and I find that using my VPN keeps the casting output option from working. Like in Popcorntime, the Watch Now doesn’t show my tv, only the laptop app or VLC. On my daughter’s fire stick I can’t even cast to...

as a current user, the android TV app is pretty rough. im crossing my fingers for the findroid developers to help with a TV version sooner than later

they changed the $25 dollar tier to $10 recently. made it a lot more realistic for me, but i still wish it was lower

On Windows, there is a Secure Audio Path API to prevent interception of the audio signal.

this would mean no, you’re not good.

and you need to take their second bit of advice to heart! always shoot for higher bitrate files if you’re learning to produce. manipulating lossy files will often sound nastier, so get FLACs/WAVs of the songs instead. with those two reasons + the fact that Spotify could possibly have unnoticeable watermarks while streaming even if it does work, I would strongly advise against getting your samples this way

gotcha. then yeah, i wouldn’t worry about them noticing you’re recording with Audacity

fwiw if it’s any easier, deezer usually has a similar library to spotify, and free-mp3-download.net downloads from there with a bit better quality too.

they do indeed rip them directly through a premium deezer account.

i can also recommend soulseek if you’re not already aware of it, it’s a lot easier than trying to find music torrents
