Hmm... software bloat. The bane of every consumer's existence.

If you really want to fight back check out the federated alternative FunkWhale

And libro.fm for audiobooks. It's harder and harder to own media. Just look at movies and television. Got to support it if we want it to stick around.

[–] jlow@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago

Yes, Libro.fm is so cool!Their prices always really hurt me when I buy stuff but I guess it's the same as with local/organic food, things costs more when there isn't an international evilcorp behind it evading taxes, paying employees only pennies and all the evil shit calitalism enables ...

Don't forget about navidrome, which supports the subsonic API

Y'all get podcasts from Spotify?

That's weird.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I used to before I learned about RSS

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 3 days ago

RSS is where podcasts all started.

Isn't audible the monopoly on audiobooks? And I thought you can get podcasts from tons of places.

[–] Googlyman64@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

audible is owned by amazon, so amazon is the monopoly as usual

what's Spotify gonna do against YouTube, that's right nothing! you can't monopolize a monopolized market.

Never! I'm just gonna use modified apk untill viruses corrupt my system files or Spotify bankrupt from their lack of MY MONEY! Mwahaha!

Yt-dlp, mp3 torrents, ocasional little trojan but im never paying for streaming services

[–] ChilledPeppers@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Did you ever actually get a trojan? Started torrenting some 2 years ago, havent had any problems. (Also, how to protect myself in case somerhing does happen? Im running radarf ona a nas, all users are android or linux)

[–] yu_cosmic@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The safest is using a VM for torrents, execute them there and see if there is weird behavior or weirdly increase of processes or services in the task manager or the equivalent to that on Linux.

Now yt-dlp is to download from YouTube and other sources, to download video and convert it to mp3 the command is: yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 (video url)

[–] pmc@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What are you executing from torrents? For music/movies/etc it should just be video files, nothing to execute.

[–] yu_cosmic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 20 hours ago

Yes, i mean in general, and if its a trusted source then why bother :0

[–] jherazob@beehaw.org 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Youtube and Amazon/Audible are already having a monopoly there, they're gonna get squashed like a bug

[–] jlow@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago

Time for people to start putting their videos on

Spotify hasn't captured doujin music yet!
