Soggfy was just the first thing I tried that worked without crawling for shitty yt downloads of the same things and so I stuck with it. If the audio quality is the same then I really don't see what difference it makes in the grand scheme of things.

I will try out zotify so thanks for the name but it isn't like it will be any quicker as I'll still do everything in "real time" as I want to maintain my account and not get banned as it is a family plan and I don't want to negatively impact the other people that use the same plan.

Also I know people love to use command line but soggfy is just a modified Spotify client so I can just open it up and start what I need in a couple of clicks

You are only going to be able to get 320 mp3s from Spotify at the very best, I use soggfy to intercept the audio and rip the tracks so you need to let the playlists run (although you can up the speed they play at) and there will also consequently be some organisation needed of the files afterwards so it is far from automated but works fairly well.

A lot of the tools around take your playlists and find what it thinks are the correct tracks on YouTube and then rip from there so be wary of the quality you might get from those.

I compared a track I ripped from Spotify with a 320 mp3 of the same track I had bought with a spectrometer (I think that is the correct name) and they looked identical

Been playing this today, after waiting well over a year since the demo on steam and being super hyped it is pretty disappointing.

Looks great and love the car models and mods available but the handling model is dog shit. It is like playing NFS:Underground again. Tap a wall and you go flying up in the air, try and turn a corner during a "grip" event and slam into the wall as all the cars can do is under steer, it really doesn't handle well.

I wouldn't go as far to say it is bad, it is certainly playable but it was super disappointing for me so far after being so hyped for so long. They even pushed the release date back to polish it but it really doesnt seem that different compared to the 18 month old demo so fuck knows what they were polishing.

"Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point."

Couldn't agree more with your take on Early Access bullshittery. I too refuse to pay for anything that is "released" and described as much. It is just another thing after micro transactions that have further ruined gaming and despite a personal boycott of these practice's still gets ever more common :(

Yeh, I was so hyped for that launch but it just isn't Guild Wars to me. Everyone still talks it up to this day and I have tried so many times to get into it but I'd rather go back and venture into pre-searing again and see my man Rurik.

Oh shit, thanks for posting this. GW1 is probably one of my favourite games of all time so I might have to check this out and see the place looking more populated again!

Nothing has ever been like the first Guild Wars, the second was such a massive disappointment for me.

That is how I felt about Dave the Diver, was really enjoying the first part of the game and was excited to keep playing but they kept adding more and more shit on top that seemed unnecessary and it just made me lose interest entirely.

It could have been great but turned out to be a bit Meh for me.

That is a blast from the past! I absolutely loved 'Z' when I was younger but had forgotten about its existence!

Shame Atomfall decided on denuvo otherwise I'd have liked to have played it but I will not support games that include that trash.

Nopaystation, I've always found everything I need there and it is super easy to use!

Here is a setup guide.

Oh cool, thanks for the link. I'll be interested to try it but I'm skeptical it will be "high quality" until I try. Pretty sure SoundCloud only streams at 128 doesn't it?

Either way I'll give it a try and get a spectral analyser on some files!

What is Lucida?

Soulseek is great apart from the arseholes who lock their entire collections wanting people to basically pay them for access in the form of bandcamp vouchers or buying them specific releases to "trade" for what you want. Fuck those people.
