not everything needs to be a dockerized web app for god's sake. just use Nicotine+

[–] Mondez@lemdro.id 3 points 10 months ago

Easier to keep shares online 24/7 with a dockerised we app vs a desktop application I need to be logged in to a system for it to run. Best of both worlds would be a Nicotine+ like desktop fronted app that talked to the server component, but I don't think there is such a ui app for slskd.

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Nicotine+ w/webUI, docker

Sorry, just poking at ya. Having these apps in docker does have its use cases, though. I run it in docker on my NAS since that’s where all my media files are, and I like for it to always be available to other downloaders even if my desktop is off.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

The link I supplied has docker as an "option".

You just be you, though, for god's sake.

[–] Moshpotatoes91@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Came to say the same! 👍

rutracker always has legit flac rips, some on soulseek can be fake

[–] drasglaf@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

And when a source isn't clear, they mark the post as #doubtful.

It is where I get my music too. They even have tons of Vinyl or SACD rips, among other hi-res formats, if you're into that.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Use Nicotine+ on desktop and Seeker on Android.

[–] Blxter@lemmy.zip 10 points 10 months ago

There is also a docker version https://github.com/slskd/slskd

[–] hefty4871@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sweet! I didn't know about Seeker!

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You can get it on the izzysoft repo on F-Droid or directly from github

[–] Findmysec@infosec.pub 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] Blxter@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

They are rebranding to a new website it is faster imo I don't like how when u unzip the files there is no parent folder however you have to make that.

Edit: New site https://lucida.to/

[–] Findmysec@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago

There's discord groups but they're hard to find because of snitches. I got in early so I have some access now but it's hard for newcomers

[–] quantenzitrone@lemmings.world 9 points 10 months ago

deezer arls and qobuz access tokens from https://rentry.org/firehawk52 to dowload with https://github.com/nathom/streamrip

[–] spaceghost__@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Apart from lucida I use these,

yams

squid

[–] LucidBoi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

FNP, TL, ST are good. Any general purpose PT is nice since you're probably never getting into RED or OPS anyways haha. Like me :(

[–] muzzle@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can you expand the acronyms?

[–] Corr@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Private trackers. I think common ones. If you search them with "tracker" you'll probably find them.

[–] TwiddleTwaddle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Isn't OPS relatively easy to interview in to?

[–] SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

I don't know about OPS but Redacted wasn't hard to interview into.

[–] ober@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

OPS is pretty easy to get into. The wait times for interviews can be long, but much much better than RED. The actual interview is pretty easy too imo. Just make sure to read through the interview prep.

[–] LucidBoi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know OPS provided interviews? If so, that'd be great since I've been wanting to join for months.

[–] ober@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, just make sure you read up on the study material and understand it all well enough. I believe they hold interviews during the weekends and the wait times vary throughout the weekend but for me I had to wait about 3 or 4 hours before getting an interview.

[–] Kena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

Just use SoulSeekQt and filter for .flac, if the song you're looking for was ever released on flac it'll be there

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

SLSK, private trackers, public trackers, random websites, open directories, ripping your own CDs.

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

Another way that needs a credit card:

Make a disposable e-mail, sign up for a month trial for Qobuz or Tidal and use a program like StreamRip to just download high-quality music straight from the platform.

When the trial ends, just make a new e-mail and repeat.

Someone mentioned Lucida here, which is more straightforward, but I found it slow and often failing. Once you're signed up, downloading is easy and it's the easiest way to get more obscure stuff in high quality.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They’re on CDs, you just need some gumption

[–] Cornflake_Dog@lemmy.wtf 5 points 10 months ago

This. Physical media is awesome to own, and ripping extremely high-quality copies is actually pretty easy, just time-consuming.

I recommend EAC (Exact Audio Copy). It's free and there are some awesome guides online for setting it to get the best quality for your rips.

[–] ledifrellim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is there any site that gives you all the different music services URLs, like a searcher that makes it easier?

[–] foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

The best way for me that I found is using Soulseek, sadly it's proprietary but it's really nice as a lot of people share on it
