Damn, that's pretty great. Just re-downloaded everything from my music folder from there (previously downloaded from yt lol). Everything had 44100Hz, 24 bit flacs available.
Fascinating, and the logo looks like a napsters relative!
- Yeah everything about this software is cool af
this looks interesting. has anyone with more technical experience tested this? what formats and bitrates does it pull and is it just searching spotify to pull from youtube? the faq is a little sparse
- Spotify currently does not work, apparently they got blocked and are currently arranging a new proxy.
  I tested it with Qobuz. I copy-pasted the link directly from Qobuz, and it somehow managed to pull a full 24 bit, 48KHz, flac file from source with just the Qobuz link. I still don't understand how. It works with full albums too.
Meanwhile my grandpa still uses deemix
How does it work? The services API?
Neat. I think yt-dlp is still a very good option since you can use it locally and script it.
- I think some backend is open-source.
  
  yeah but yt-dlp (and tidal-dl, my go to because i'm on a friends sub) will download and run anywhere that has python, pip and an internet connection. which is most places. I ssh into my music server and use tidal-dl to download the music directly into the folders that serve it. this sounds cool but having to use a website makes it a complete non-starter for me personally. (tidal-dl also does flac up to 24bit, 192kHz)
- Isn't the best opus audio stream from yt-dlp also basically transparent? So if you don't care for flac it's already optimal?
Every single album and song I try to download (not from Spotify) fails with error code 404.
- Spotify Download is currently down.
  Edit: I read it wrong
  
  Yeah that's why I'm not trying with Spotify, like I wrote. I tried qobuz and tidal, both fail.
That's cool, but why not just use Soulseek?
this already dead?
- No, Proxy is just down. Use https://lucida.su/
great bro, found another gem.
is that using the same software in the background as doubledoubletop?
- Yes, Probably
  
  Damn insane
