For context, I have around 14k albums that I'd love to share and keep the stream flowing, but I have a couple of problems.

A.) My PC isn't always on, which isn't the biggest issue but I know a source just being inches away from being offline is painful.

and the more important issue, B.) Soulseek genuinely slaughters my PC resources at high album counts. I have a decent gaming PC, not some budget machine. Is there a way to limit it's intake?

I really do want to share my collection, but I don't have the money to set up a seedbox equivalent just for uploading music. Any help would be appreciated :)

I have ~100 users downloaded ~1000 of my files in the last week alone. Music piracy is still alive and kicking. I encourage everyone to download and install SoulseekQT/Nicotine+/Seeker-Android and share whatever kind of music you have for everybody to download. Let's bring back music piracy!

Most of us have Spotify, Deezer or YTM. Some perverts have Tidal.

There is a way to download playlists from these services for several hundred tracks or possibly more.

YT-Dlp is also an option, but I haven't used it, so I can't say anything about the capabilities. Spotdl uses youtube-dl as a backend, and yt-dlp is a fork of youtube-dl, so it probably works fine too.

How to find tokens for Deemix - decide for yourself. You can buy premium for a month and download all the music you can. Or find the key on the sites. There are also several groups on Telegram where you can find them. Deemix does not always download tracks the first time, so it is necessary to execute the command several times. Some tracks cannot be downloaded at all. The larger the playlist, the more possible errors. From a playlist of 1200 tracks, about 200 are not downloaded.

Spotiflyer often fails to download a song, so it should only be used if you don't have access to a PC.

Spotdl works almost perfectly. During all this time I have not had a single mistake. Even large playlists download without errors.

After you have downloaded all the tracks, you can upload them to the cloud storage. I use MEGA.

Now you have a pocket streaming service that you have full control over.

I've had this idea for a while now, and always wondered if a program like this existed, but never found anything like it.

The idea is a selfhosted service/script/daemon that connects to music streaming platforms APIs and automatically downloads your play history. You'd keep listening to your music library on the streaming service until you think you've built a big enough of an offline library and then just drop the streaming service.

This would be a great way to build a music library for people who want to drop streaming services but don't have a music library. I might just put something together myself.

I know Apple Music added a lossless streaming option awhile back, but all the rippers I can find only appear to do 256kbps AAC. Is there anything out there that supports lossless?

Piracy seemed like the community to at least understand and maybe know some resources for this. I am looking for music that is available on freer licenses. Preferably easily browsable. Anyone got any leads?
