For a few years now, I've been using and paying for Deezer, but recently they've started to do away with the features that I preferred about their platform, so I'm wondering of there is any options for me here.

You talk about Deezer dropping features but then the ones you list are super basic things Deezer still does, so I think you need to go into a bit more detail regarding what you want out of this.

I use remote transmission + jellyfin

Yes, I need to go to the tracker and search for the artist I want, but I very rarely listen to something new, and my home server already has almost everything I ever listened to

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same here but with Lidarr to simplify the searching.

I wanted to mention jellyseerr, it probably doesn't support music, but I have plans to set it up for everything else

[–] CalicoJack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jellyseerr doesn't do music, but Ombi does. I run them both, with Ombi set for music only.

[–] Gooey0210@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Interesting, ombi sounds really cool though

Now I want to test it, or probably later, today my server's power supply died 😄

Spotube

Can you download music?

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

i think you can

[–] Stormfur@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Yes!

Tidal lets you download entire albums and playlists. And you can import your playlists from Spotify.

I use soulseek for downloading, and then MusicBee for playing my music.

[–] seitanic 2 points 2 years ago

That still doesn't explain how you browse music (i.e. find new artists).

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I think spotube works fine on the desktop

[–] Rizoid@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I use deemix and jellyfin for playback. Browsing on deemix is not as good as spotube but I like it.

[–] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does Deemix still exist somewhere? the domain is expired.

[–] Rizoid@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

There's a docker container that I run on my server.

https://gitlab.com/Bockiii/deemix-docker

That's the container I use. It's good enough imo.

[–] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Spotiflyer/Soundbound works great for me.

[–] Hawk@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah spotiflyer is great

[–] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

i use revanced to crack YouTube Music for free. prior to that, I was downloading songs from YouTube just using a third party downloader and adding them to my Plex.

Deemix maybe? https://github.com/flmorse/deemix-gui

[–] Carter@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What platform are you using?

[–] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Deezer. It says in the post

[–] Carter@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No I mean what OS? Are you wanting for desktop of mobile?

[–] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fedora Linux, and both Android and Desktop. I've already gotten a lit of suggestions, but I'd be happy to also hear yours.

[–] Carter@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

So as people have suggested already there's deemix if you're happy to pay for a Premium subscription. If you want something somewhat more automated there are scripts that can be used with Lidarr to automatically download new releases from deemix.

Of course there's also yt-dl to download from YouTube but the sound quality won't match that of Deezer.

For Android there are apps such as Innertune, SimpMusic or ViMusic which let you stream and download from YouTube Music. There's also Spotiflyer which I believe downloads tracks from YouTube again but links with a Spotify account for playlists etc.

For both Desktop and Android there's also SpotTube which uses a Spotfy library and streams from YouTube Music.
