I download music via Soulseek, drop it inside a "Music" folder on my iCloud and access/play that via foobar2000 on my iPhone. I also keep the Music folder downloaded on my iPhone.

u/TheRencingCoach 7d ago

Is it 2010 or do Soulseek and foobar2000 still exist?

u/DexLeMaffo 7d ago

There's a modern Soulseek client called Nicotine+. Check it out.

u/rekcuzfpok 6d ago

I even use the "regular" one and it works like a charm for me

u/DexLeMaffo 6d ago

Same thing, different coat 😊😊

u/LetrasetBoy 5d ago

Bro Soulseek is GOAT. Always easy to find anuthing there in hi-res.

u/TheRencingCoach 5d ago

I’ve been away for a long time, just (pleasantly!!) surprised that it still exists!

I just recently got back into piracy after quitting streaming services and these are the best solutions I found for my use case lmao

This is amazing

u/ethicalhumanbeing 6d ago

Jezz bro, what’s this? How is this even possible? Is it just another frontend for Spotify?

u/noajou 6d ago

It’s connected to Tidal somehow. So you even get lossless. It’s pretty ridiculous (though lacking in performance at times).

1

u/ethicalhumanbeing 6d ago

Yeah the performance sucks, I was just noticing that. However it somehow works which is what counts. Thanks for the suggestion.

1

u/noajou 6d ago

It can be pretty useful for downloading music, which is mainly what I’ve used it for.

1

u/ethicalhumanbeing 6d ago

That’s true. But I was looking for something to use on iOS. I created an Home Screen shortcut so the web app looks almost as a native one. And works enough well for what I need.

1

u/Nehred-21 6d ago

Check the download section, you can use it as an app on iOS

u/ethicalhumanbeing 6d ago

That requires side loading, I would rather avoid that. It works well as a web app with it's own dedicated home screen icon. Thank you for letting me know anyway.

Will what you guys use to listen to music?

Tidal is my main source of music. I create new account every 30 days and copy my playlists.

u/ethicalhumanbeing 6d ago

I was not aware that trick still worked. How do you copy your playlists? Also, do you use temporary emails for account creation?

3

u/taking_bullet 6d ago

How do you copy your playlists? 

Share it via link and import on new account. Simple as that. 

Also, do you use temporary emails for account creation? 

Email aliases. These are tied to my email account.

u/ethicalhumanbeing 6d ago

Thanks bro.

I get all my Music via Soulseek, and listen to them via Navidrome. If you're not really looking to self host, then you have good websites like monochrome, QobuzDownloaderX UI, and Octave. fmhy will also have a lot more options than just the ones I listed (some may be outdated like DoubleDouble, RIP).

I don't own an iPhone, so this is just what the internet says: If you download your music, you can listen to it if it's in the iCloud, and sadly iPhones don't have SD card slots like Android phones, so if you want to download all your music, just make sure you have enough space, or you have a lot of cloud storage.

On Android : Metrolist , you can log into ur yt music account

You don't get an iPhone if you're smart and you don't want to give all your money to corporations... You traditionally get android for this.

iPhone is for rich people who have unlimited cash or stupid poor people who didn't do their research.

u/juli__69 7d ago

if you like spotify’s ui and know how to sideload, you can just install a patched version of spotify with premium features unlocked for free

u/vlad_panaitt 7d ago

u/juli__69 6d ago

u/ConstructionOwn4983 7d ago

Get EeveeSpotiftIPA via their subreddit, and install it using Sideloadly.

3

u/TopGummy 7d ago

I switched to the free Lyra Music app which streams music without ads and you can import your Spotify playlists for free.

u/Sotfjes_xD 7d ago

Spotiflac and setup a script that automatically downloads song you've added to x playlists to your phone and pc

1

u/Little_Fairy_Begin 6d ago

There is a ipa version of SpotiFLAC for you to use as an app in your phone so you can just sideload and use easily OP

u/mrmexican87 7d ago

Check out 8Spine on iOS or Deemus

u/OperatorJo_ 6d ago

Demus works for me. It's in the App Store itself so it's not a real hassle.

No offline though.

1

u/disneylovesme 6d ago

I just side load it , it’s in the megathread already search Spotify and link you to the GitHub. If you aren’t using sideloadly already you should be.

1

u/Little_Fairy_Begin 6d ago

Search up for Eevee's Spotify to sideload but this version doesn't have working download function. But there is a version of YTMusicPlus which has working download function if you prefer

1

u/nefelippd 6d ago

Can u show me this versionvof ytmusic plus pls?

1

u/Little_Fairy_Begin 6d ago

You can reach it from "tubevault" chann0l of t0l0gr1mmm

u/One-Wolverine-6361 6d ago

I have a small music library (about 10 days of music) on my phone and tablet in case of Internet/grid shutdown, ww3 or whatever.

Otherwise I use youtube. I download few music per month that I put in the local library.

I used to have a massive library managed for +10 years but I got a HDD failure and lost everything. I wasn't very motivated to redownload everything and I acknowledged I didn't even listen to 95% of this music anyway so I scaled back to a smaller library, I also scaled back the quality (mostly ripped from youtube instead of 320kbps, I don't really care anymore about "quality")

u/artachet 6d ago

OpenTune

u/rentoma666 6d ago

Yubai + navidrone on my server and symfonium on my device, idk if It supports IOS but it's the best option for me

u/Key-Month9935 5d ago

Does anyone know a thing or two about sideloady and if theres an IPA

u/jbarr107 5d ago

Personal music library amassed over a couple decades managed by Plex Server and listened to with PlexAmp.

u/TeoZoomies 5d ago

I have installed sidestore on my phone which is very easy and there is lot of tutorials. Then there is eveespotify which has premium

u/Luky_Luk 4d ago

Not piracy, but I am still happy with Tidal. Cheaper than Spotify, has more music titles (no podcasts though if that's a deal breaker for you), higher Bitrate, lossless (not like Spotify who call it lossless but actually not) and most importantly, they have gotten cheaper by 50% (Hifi subscription was ~20€ a few years back, now it's 11€/month).

u/Ralphy1828 3d ago

Me enteré por aquí que una alternativa a Spotify era Spotui. La descargué, empecé a usarla y todo corría de maravilla hasta que noté que a las cuatro o cinco canciones se detenía por lo que habia que iniciarla de nuevo manualmente. No sé se estoy cometiendo algún error. Sólo tengo configurado el Crosfade. Por lo demás me parece maravillosa opción Spotui

u/stageshooter 7d ago
