Hi all,
I’ve been scouring around for a tool to do this for some time but haven’t had any luck, hence here I am once again asking for your pirate support.
I’m aware of Cider, but it doesn’t do High-Quality Lossless and the people behind it seem a bit scummy to be honest; the whole Cider 2 thing. Forgive me if I’m wrong, and please correct me.
I’m quite keen on doing this since I’m part of an Apple Family plan, so I don’t pay a penny for the service but still get full access. I’ve got terabytes of storage just waiting to share music via Soulseek.
While I’m at it here, might as well ask if anyone’s got a similar thing for Spotify? It’s the same deal with the whole Family plan thing (It’s a complex situation) so downloading from that service is just as appealing, though AM is preferred because quality.
Sidenote, I don’t want any of these tools that just match the song and rip from YouTube; always gives crap quality.
Just torrent the music you want
See, torrent availability is more or less directly correlated to the size of the artist / band in question. So when you get someone who’s into some rather niche stuff and has quite a few small bands in their streaming library, torrenting is just not an option.
Just buy their music! Those are the bands that actually need the support.
Yeah, of course I shoot some support over their way. It’s just if I do that it also comes down to the whole ownership thing too, hence the downloading.
Encourage those bands to use bandcamp
Maybe reach out to the smaller artists, then? I’m sure most of them aren’t opposed to sending you a file if you pay
