Title
I’m tired of spotify giving me random issues.
What’s a good replacement for this?

Nice try, Sony.
Checked pinned megathread?
Deemix - Downloads from Deezer in 320 kbps mp3 or FLAC. You need to have premium account for high quality downloads or find something called ARL cookies for login on the web. Looks like original download source is down, but there are checksums so just hunt down a mirror that matches them
Soulseek - P2P sharing specifically for music
Seconding Soulseek. It’s basically limewire, but music-specific and the type of people who use it tend to be big music afficianados, so it has just about anything you can think of
My current goto as well. It’s very difficult to get psy trance elsewhere
I misread the title and thought you were asking for the best music for piracy. I was gonna suggest Alestorm.
The best piracy for music is digital piracy. Literal ship-based piracy is very inefficient when it comes to acquiring tunes.
What about sea shanties?
I’m in favor, for sure. Still, those tend to already be public domain 🤷
several people have mentioned soulseek and I agree but nicotine+ is better than the official soulseekQt client
Thank you for posting this, I had been using the official client and nicotine already works so much better for me - I love that you can automatically run a command after a folder has been downloaded
What is soulseek?

May the gods bless you for sharing this link.
The best piracy is the kind with a sword in your hand and a parrot on your shoulder.

Soulseek
Deemix to DL all your music. And media servers like JellyFin/Emby/Plex to host the data. That’s the only way to get the best Music Exp.
I was thinking about setting up a jellyfin server that could be publicly accessible from a domain I own. Something like jellyfin.neocamel.com, which would point to my jellyfin server on my home windows PC, but it sounds like that opens up some pretty serious security concerns.
I haven’t touched that aspect so can’t really comment on the security aspect. But if it’s behind PWD and stuff, it should be good IG.
I think you can set up a cloudfare tunnel to alleviate security concerns and it seems like an easy setup
This is what I do and supplement with redacted.
Download mp3 or flac from artists you like. Install jellyfin or plex on an old PC, laptop, or raspberry pi and store the music there. Install finamp or plexamp on your phone. And you got your own personal spotify that you can access from anywhere
Can I manage this from android?
You have to keep on the computer that is running jellyfin/plex server. Then as long as the server is running and everything is set up, you can access all of your own songs and playlists from the android app.
There are a ton of tutorials out there for setting up jellyfin or plex.
I like muffon for streaming. I select vk as my source which has all the weeb/jp/doujin music that I like. I also very often use youtube music (with revanced to give ad-free listening). There’s really not a lot of good options out there for music if you listen to anything other than the most mainstream stuff.
Muffon is awesome, I just discovered it. I actually compared audio quality to Nuclear and Muffon always pulls tracks with higher bitrates and really you can even hear the difference. Recommended by me too!
Soulseek using Nicotine+ is the best solution I found so far, if you are happy with worse quality you can alos get it from Youtube but on Soulseek you often find flac and mp3 to choose from, just make sure to redistribute a little too! ;)
The “best”, in my opinion, would be a private music tracker.
private music trackers never have anything I want to listen to tbh, and they’re always way too hard to get credit for. kinda pointless.
Yeah for sure, the actual answer is that the “best” is relative to your needs. But they work for me.
There’s an app on the playstore called “datmusic”. It’s $6 or so and rips music from Deezer @ 320kbps to full on lossless FLAC. No subscription is needed unless you want to download an entire playlist.
It feels and looks like Spotify to me, just without the subscription part.
