Now might be a great time to join the Fediverse alternative FunkWhale. I've already built up a collection of nearly 10,000 songs on mine, almost all of which i downloaded from deezer.

Can you ELI5 Deezer abd FunkWhale, and how they replace what Spotify is offering?

[–] Madbrad200@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Deezer is a streaming service like Spotify. Unlike Spotify, you can download directly from Deezer using piracy tools such as Deezloader. The user then presumably uploaded these to FunkWhale, so as to own their own local collection.
