sanitationYouTube Premium just got more expensive again: now $16 a month, or $27 for families
BipaulerI pretty much only use it for music, and most of the extensions have still gotten me by. At least long enough to rip the song to my hard drive for offline use. Fuck $16 a month. That’s ridiculous. For $16 I could get an album or two every month and not have to worry about some buffering bullshit. After a year, not only would I be supporting the artists directly and avoiding paying paying a scummy company, that I’d actually have some discographies built up permanently.

So why don’t you do that… ?
I actually did just buy a lot of albums in the last 48 hours, once I realized that I could bc my tax return lol. Before that I was pretty broke and wishing I could actually buy some. A light bulb finally went off and I was like oh yeah, I got some money now :p I do like to test drive a lot to see if I really vibe with it also. if it’s something that actually touches me, I usually wind up wanting to have a higher quality version stored locally.
danHow would someone, hypothetical, do that ripping part?
I buy the discs from my disc shop then use soulseek to download the discs already ripped.
Other times I simply buy their discs from bandcamp so I get the digital files directly.
Kind of janky but maybe something like this? soundclouddl.cc or something like this perhaps github.com/archisvaze/arcdlp if you just use a search engine to look up YouTube to MP3 or something to that nature or you can find a lot of different results. I think they even make browser extensions as well.
Even easier is monochrome.tf
