What's a good FREE music streaming service that isn't run by the devil?

I've been trying to get off of Spotify for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to spend on a Deezer or Tidal subscription, which is required to listen to more than 30 seconds of a song. I also have an extremely large playlist that needs transferring, so I need an unlimited version of FreeYourMusic if it exists. Thanks! Edit: Thanks for all the replies and advice! Unfortunately, I'm too stupid for almost all of it, but I appreciate it anyways. The solution I went with is using Newpipe on Android and a Spotify adblocker called Blockify on pc. Have a good day!

Good

Free

Not run by the devil

Pick 2. Actually maybe 1 if you're lucky.

As others have said the high sails are your best bet.

I see. Good to know. Is there a decent way to block ads on Spotify completely? Either on mobile or desktop.

verdigris@lemmy.ml · 16 pts · 289d (1 reply)

Just use the web version on Firefox with ublock origin. Been using the free version for years. You'll get a few seconds of dead air now and then as a few ads cycle through without playing, but it's far from the full length that the ad break is supposed to be.

You can throw some money at artists periodically, some random $10 donation to whatever their fan site or on merch will probably net them more than a lifetime of listening to their stuff on Spotify, since streaming revenues add up to roughly five atoms of currency per stream or so.

DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 289d

Do you have a torrent client installed? Do you know how to download using a torrent client? If you don't have one yet then I can recommend qBitTorrent. It's a well developed torrent client.

I can recommend watching some YouTube video on how torrenting works. It's fairly straight forward. You basically download a small .torrent file (or use a magnet:url.

A magnet is the same as a torrent but there is nothing to download first. Just add the magnet address to your torrent client.

In the torrent client you then get a window that asks you where to place the downloaded file and also a few other tweaks you can do. Usually you only need to press OK and the download starts.

The hard part in sailing the high seas is finding good websites with the content you are looking for. Every torrent also needs another person to upload the file. If you have no one to download from then you will not get your file.

It is common courtesy to keep the torrent client running even after reaching 100%. This will help others download the file from you. This is the core feature of torrents. Everyone that downloads also helps with sharing the file. That's how we keep spreading the data. As long as there is 1 person uploading, then the torrent will be alive.

Please note, a torrent can have 0 people sharing (Seeders) for the moment but might become active several hours later once another person turn on their computer and start sharing the file again.

I hope I didn't ramble too much and you got something out of it. Best of luck!

Piracy :3

DacoTaco@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 288d (7 replies)

Not to be a party pooper but piracy too is run by the devil. You dont notice it because its more hidden that the fuckfaces at google, meta, amazon etc but its still run by mobsters and people like (but not specifically) andrew tate.

Piracy groups dont do and release things just for fun you know :p Source: ive dug a bit too deep into console piracy scenes since gamecube-days. Its all ran by one fuckface : Max 'MAXiMiLiEN' Louarn.
The fuckwad has ran off with millions in tool sales, ad revenue, and downloads while he gives 0 shits about bricking your consoles. If apple or whoever is bad for such practice's, he is too.

And thats just console piracy stuff, im sure movies, series and music is the same thing, or worse

What the hell are you talking about? There's still lots of peer to peer trackers and most make their money asking users for donations or selling premium status. I've been using some for years and haven't spent a dollar.

DacoTaco@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 288d (3 replies)

Who runs the trackers? Who gets stuff on the trackers? I have also never spent a dollar, but if you do, your money doesnt not always go towards who you think. And in this day and age, not spending money doesnt mean another party isnt profiting.

fishy@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 288d (1 reply)

The trackers definitely aren't all run by one dude. Files are shared/seeded by users, myself included. I'd guess less than 1% of users are paying/donating and mods are volunteers. There's money to be made, sure. But arguing that money is going to something nefarious because it potentially could is a lame argument IMO.

DacoTaco@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 288d

Oh ye, in case of torrents its not all one guy. It never is. In case of consoles it was paradox, or team executor, or ... (All financed by max in this case, but hes never alone).
And even with trackers i sure hope and assume its different teams.
I didnt mean to say piracy is evil itself, thats like saying all arm-base phones are evil.
Just saying there is way more evil and devils there than you think. Mobsters are a thing

Get Droidify, which is an alternative front end for the F-Droid & Izzy app stores for Android. You can download numerous apps that stream ad-free from YouTube (many seem to be based on the same code with minor tweaks). NewPipe proper (without ads) is there, too. However, I recommend YTDLnis instead as it does a better job with the metadata - it's on Izzy, which you can also use the Droidify app for.

Shazam app with youtube.com plus ezmp3.cc

Long answer:

Cloud infrastructure is expensive. You won't find any free streaming platform.

The best route is to manage your own Playlist manually.

Workflow:

Interesting music playing on radio/party

-‐> shazam to know title and artist 

-‐> search youtube.com for that title and artist 

--> copy url of video that best matches 

--> paste url on ezmp3.cc for converting to audio 

--> await conversion, download generated audio 

--> Use a smart-mp3-tags app to add tags and album art automatically

Prons:

  • until now, i've paid $0 for music I listen to. Evil bastard, I know. I, however, have bought poweramp for $5. Best purchase yet.
  • you will find any music this way no matter how niche and weird it is. Unlike surfing the pirate ship
  • bonus: you most definitely will find your favorite audiobooks.

Cons:

  • no music discovery features. Which is truly the only downside you can't replace.
  • no backup in case of device loss, so you better make copies manually

That usually means it's not compatible with your device. They only make a 64-bit version available (ARM64-v8a) on Izzy, and require a minimum of Android 7 with a target of Android 15. If you don't meet that, then try from the project site - the current release is here. If you're not sure which version to get, then download the one with "universal" in the filename - it's got all three main CPU architecture builds in it so it's three times the size, but if it's going to work at all on your device that version of the APK will have it.

you can look around for cracked spotify or other cracked stuff on the mobilism forums, but spotify sometimes bans those cliens, and might shadowban your account as well.

whatever you do, you gonna support the devil by choosing any mainstream music service. so keep using them for free and support the bands with money or going to concerts. discs are overrated, merch gives them low commission.

If the full playtime is required to download, then it's probably not "full quality", but re-encoding it as it plays which will definitely not satisfy quality snobs.

Download music using Nicotine+, stream music from youtube.

Sorry it's run by the devil, but it is free. On your phone you can listen without ads if you use an adblocker with the desktop version of the site.

You can also listen to internet radio using Pandora. Pithos is a free client that doesn't play ads. Adblockers work on the desktop site, and you can download Blokada 5 from their website to block ads on the Android app.

Wavlake is a good option. Keep in mind, though, that no popular music of today (think The Weekend, Eilish, etc.) will be on this platform. Instead, it'll be Bitcoiners who also produce music and podcasts.

You don't have to use BTC with a Lightning Network wallet, though, as that's option. Nostr is another option that you can use, but again, that's optional.

Otherwise, use a net to catch the music you want. If you get the reference, then you know I'm a viewer of Louis Rossmann's content.
