I’m using my mp3 player to listen to albums. I’ve been using this site to download my music but it has no track number data. So I have to write that myslef manually. If there’s a a program that can download albums for my that’ll be great. Ideally I’d want it to do mp3’s at 320kbps.
Thanks for all the help!

SoulSeek. Seriously, don’t bother with anything else unless you can’t find it on SoulSeek, which is very unlikely. Seriously, I’ve found weather channel music compilations on SoulSeek. If it exists, it’s probably on there in some format.
I looked at it and it’s sooo easy to use I’ll definetly be using it from now on
I reccomend the soulseek client “nicotine+” instead of soulseekQT. Much more betterer client, same soulseek under the hood.
Seeker app for Android highly recommended
Soulseek to get the music, Musicbrainz Picard to standardize the formatting and fix metadata if it isnt already there
I’ll throw MP3tag into the mix as a tagger/formatter. Always preferred it to Picard and the solo dev seems a nice guy.
Soulseek my friend
yeah it seems great but what do I do when people don’t have what I want? probably just go back to my roots
Yeah, I’ll echo the soulseek suggestion. It’s trivial to find anything but the most obscure stuff, and even that’s possible. I have something like 4tb of total shared files, of which about 2tb is music, almost all in flac format, with acceptable tagging standards. And I’m a lightweight on soulseek.
Throw in musicbrainz to flesh out the tags, and you’re good to go.
Just be sure to share some of your stuff back, and you’re set. There are people that won’t let you download from them unless you’re sharing, so it matters.
Is soulseek the same as torrenting in terms of copyright trolls or are you less likely to run into legal notices as it’s maybe less known?
Waaay less. I’ve never heard of any issues with it being a common thing at all. Tbh, I’ve never known anyone to get tagged for it. I never have, even before I started using a vpn for everything.

https://fmhy.net/audiopiracyguideWhat a neat collection. 👍
DAMN this will be great for future use aswell. Thanks a lot!
If you just want to rename everything and get the track numbers done automatically you might try the godfather. I used to use it pretty exclusively when I was downloading a lot of mp3s.
MusicBrainz Picard was another one I used a lot to organize and name music.
I don’t think those are for downloading music. If so it’ll still be tedious downloading them myself. Thanks for the help!
Sounds like you’re looking more on the download end of things. Nevertheless, if you have unidentified tracks, it may still be worth running them through Picard. It can search its DB using existing partial metadata, or do something like hash portions of the file and check its DB for matches. It really helped me cut down the unidentified and orphan mp3s in my collection.
You could potentially try the app Innertune for the first part of your query.
You can use mp3tag to rename/title/number/tag/whatever, the stuff you’ve already downloaded.
well that’s still manual and tedious that’s the thing that I’m trying to avoid even if I try to use a automated tagging it usually doesn’t have the music that I listen
beets.io with the discogs plugin has never failed me. If its on discogs you will get tags
Discovered beets a few weeks ago. Tagging, organizing, converting, … You can specify all of it in a config file and just add a new album and it handles everything for you
Have you tried freedb? It’s had the majority of albums I’ve needed to tag, even stuff like female blues artists of the 1920’s. I tagged and renamed the files on about 300 albums in a couple hours, so for me, yeah, it was a manual process but it was still quicker and easier than searching for and re-downloading a similar number of albums. But you do you - it’s your music!
All these suggestions are great. I’ll just add that qbittorrent has a built in search feature that is often outstanding. And rutracker is great for music torrents.
how did I not now this before
@bayapplemusicbot @thebaymusicbot @deezertogdrivebot
You can use these telegram bots to download from different platforms like Spotify, deezer,tidal,apple and qobuz
Thank you to everyone who recommended soulseek! I’ve been looking for a platform that has hard to find, high-quality music and after a quick look at the software it looks very promising. I’ll report back if I’ve had any obscure songs I cannot find.
Deemix and spotube
doesn’t deemix require a premium subscription?
If you find a premium arl it’ll work. People were sharing them on telegram but I think that’s stopped but you can find more by googling.
a ladder!
1 you can buy shit or steal in a shop which sucks
2 you could search for song on youtube,deezer,spotify and record it yourself
3 install nuclear(osx,win,lin -> https://github.com/nukeop/) or ViMusic(android > https://f-droid.org/de/packages/it.vfsfitvnm.vimusic/) and just search and download everything from there
4 you can try any xdcc indexer and grab from irc
…for the lazy I stick with 3 …it has just become too convenient.
How can I record songs myself that’s the only part I don’t understand
easy! install audacity and record system audio. might wanna google the settings…
You can download from Spotify using Zotify. Albums, playlists, if you set it to Artist unfortunately you will get a bunch of singles and EPs that you have to clean up.
If you have Premium you can download at high bitrates, otherwise you get Ogg Vorbis at around 150 ABR. You can automatically transcode to whatever format you want, then I feed it to beets to catalogue and deliver it with Ampache.
I like the moderate bitrate OGGs myself, as I often stream from Ampache to my phone and our mobile service is quite slow. So this system works great for me.
