Spotify Premium ad: “Imagine playing music without interruptions! Infinite skipping! Replay the song you want! And even do it offline? No ads! Whatever songs you want! For a small monthly payme-” Me: *nods, turns off Spotify and turns on my MP3 player and does all the things they offer, but for free and with songs they don’t even have*
For those of you who might not know how to do any of this:
To convert CD audio into mp3s, you just follow the steps here
To play mp3 files, you download an mp3 player like Winamp here and away you go
On mobile? There are plenty of free mp3 players for your phone available, too, so check them out
You don’t need to be tethered to an online streaming service for your music. Be free.
You can also rip audio files from youtube and find files all over the internet. It is far easier to come across great and lesser known music if you dont limit yourself to spotify.
Also your local library still has a ton of physical CDs that they will lend you for free.
Some of them also offer free music streaming services, or services where you can download free music (you’re limited to a certain amount of songs per week, but it’s free).
Our audiobooks on CD even encourage you to rip them to your own devices. It’s not like we can stop you…
Watching YouTube on a browser, at least for me, ymmv, i can turn off my screen and the video still plays.
And y1ts.com works just fine on mobile as well so if you can access downloaded files (idk how it works on iOS lmao but on Android it’s easy)(i think it’s become easier on iOS) that’s how you can download YouTube videos
Inherently getting around paying for Things is going to be less convenient but. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
tommy i am going to kiss you DIRECTLY on the forehead thank you for telling us how to avoid getting premiums the Bad Way. absolutely fucking scrumptious my dude
Another point for why it’s important to own your own copies of music and media, and not use streaming services, is because the copy you own can’t be taken back.
(This is also a good time to remind people that yout*be to mp3 converters still exist).
please don’t tell me you guys are ripping songs one at a time for the quality and getting mp3 -_- here’s what you should actually do:
1. sign up for a free deezer account 2. download python if you don’t already have it 3. download deemix-pyweb for your os (r/deemix will have the link if this one breaks) 4. extract the zip, click on deemix-pyweb.exe, login in w/ your deezer arl in settings (it’ll tell you how, it’s very easy)
ta-da! now you can download multiple songs, albums, playlists, and entire artist catalogs at the same time! in mp3 or flac quality! all organized w/ album covers & info & everything else!
also, you can convert any spotify playlists you have to deezer ones using soundiiz, or thru deemix itself. enjoy! 🎵
AND REMEMBER, DO NOT SEARCH ANADIUS REPACK SIMS 4 DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE, BECAUSE THEN YOU WILL FIND AN EASY WAY TO DOWNLOAD THE SIMS 4 WITH EVERY DLC FOR FREE. VERY EASY TO INSTALL.
THAT’S ILLEGAL AND WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO PIRATE THIS GAME, DESPITE BEING SO INCREDIBLY PRICEY. NOPE. WE DO NOT WANT THAT. WINK. WINK.
