Just discovered #spotdl (https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader). It's a great way to download songs from #youtube with metadata and lyrics, or to just quickly listen to that one song somebody sent you. Cli and webui are available and it's very configurable

I’m not a fan of YouTube’s audio compression algorithm (optimized for saving google’s bandwidth but sounds awful on higher fidelity audio setups). If quality is a concern, I can’t recommend slskd enough
My favorite open secret of the internet. It's crazy to think how long that network has been running. I think I stumbled on it around 2003. Thanks for pointing out this client. I've been relying on a rickety container build that uses novnc and nicotine+ to give a quasi-portable experience. It will be nice to ditch that, hopefully.
And for those wanting a simpler and more traditional application, Nicotine+ is a great introduction.
Oh yeah don’t get me wrong I love nicotine+ too! I figured I’d link to slskd since this is the selfhosted community after all 🙃
You make a good point lol. I've made the classic blunder of not reading the sub name..
