Saw this on mastodon and thought I’d share it here.
I found double double website to be janky to download anything larger than 1gb (flac off tidal). I now use https://github.com/nathom/streamrip and haven’t looked back!
Don’t use DoubleDouble.top. Many of its tracks are YouTube rips.
Use one of these websites instead. Every single tune is available in 320Kbps MP3 and FLAC. No rips nor re-encoding:

If you want an app for your phone, Soulseek has done me absolute wonders. Shockingly it’s on the Google play store. It requires an account, but the app automatically makes you one when you use it iirc.
This is great but is there something like this that let’s you upload a spotify playlist and buy that list drm free? I’m willing to pay if it means actual ownership
*Oh wait I didn’t see what sub this was
Why not just use SoulSeek?
SoulSeek doesn’t have podcasts.
Now, to be fair, I hate every podcast. But if I want to clip parts of the hosts being stupid to make fun of them in a blog, this utility and other spotify download tools are sadly needed
Do I make money off blogging? Not by shitposting about people online, or explaining to people why shows they listen to are drivel. For instance I went into the archives of a war show someone recommended and looked up what they were saying about Ethiopia around the time their PM got banned off facebook.
I have published some stuff which I guess constitutes working in writing articles but that’s not how I make a living primarily.
I’m just a hater on my own time mainly, saves me the effort of listening to bad shows by immediately finding their flaws lolz
Oh also if you look up Michael Hudson’s appearances he tend to visit really cool shows
He talks about the history of central banking in the United States, Europe, and Japan, and how we created the neocolonial structure that persists today, criticizes neoliberal far right banking policy and exposes how it’s just there to strip the world of resources for the USA.
The shows on the Geopolitical Economy Report on Youtube are really freaking good, best 20th century history podcast I’ve listened to.
I appreciate your recommendation, by the way, I will get around to it
This lets you immediately slot in a spotify link someone sends you to an iOS VLC playlist on the go.
The past few years I am constantly out of the house and on my phone. I used to postpone learning how to make my mobile workflow operate because PC is obviously better. But stuff like this and Invidious keeps me on par with regular people and allows me to be passed the aux without spontaneously combusting out of awkwardness.
