  • Soggfy was just the first thing I tried that worked without crawling for shitty yt downloads of the same things and so I stuck with it. If the audio quality is the same then I really don’t see what difference it makes in the grand scheme of things.

    I will try out zotify so thanks for the name but it isn’t like it will be any quicker as I’ll still do everything in “real time” as I want to maintain my account and not get banned as it is a family plan and I don’t want to negatively impact the other people that use the same plan.

    Also I know people love to use command line but soggfy is just a modified Spotify client so I can just open it up and start what I need in a couple of clicks


  • You are only going to be able to get 320 mp3s from Spotify at the very best, I use soggfy to intercept the audio and rip the tracks so you need to let the playlists run (although you can up the speed they play at) and there will also consequently be some organisation needed of the files afterwards so it is far from automated but works fairly well.

    A lot of the tools around take your playlists and find what it thinks are the correct tracks on YouTube and then rip from there so be wary of the quality you might get from those.

    I compared a track I ripped from Spotify with a 320 mp3 of the same track I had bought with a spectrometer (I think that is the correct name) and they looked identical



  • This year has been my first foray into self hosting in general. I have been doing a lot of learning and have a long way to go but have got to the point where I have proxmox running with a few VMs running an arr stack, a jellyfin server and a Plex server.

    I’m just super happy to get everything running and now need to fine tune stuff. Currently trying to figure out why the Plex server is down half the time externally.

    I’m having a lot of fun!



  • I dont really care for short form videos anyway and have never used the likes of Instagram / tik tok etc but now that I’m seeing loops videos pop up on my Lemmy feed I’ll occasionally see something I’m interested in. However not being able to mute the video before starting to play it instantly puts me off and as such I ignore anything loops based already…


  • All of these ideas are great and all but at the end of the day I will be forced to use what ever the scene I am into decides is best and therefore I can find the biggest selection of music to buy.

    Currently band camp is the defacto for most releases (except for some idiotic vinyl only bullshit) within the scene I am into, but even if a great alternative is made if they don’t start selling the music I want on there then it’ll be impossible for me to use.

    I think as much effort to expose a band camp alternative to artists is needed as there is needed to create the thing so people and artists can come together in said place.
