Got tired with it. Fired up ytdlp( it was complex for me. So I used an android app called ytdlnis) and downloaded some music. I can't do it in one day so still downloading.

Don't forget that yt-dlp is not only for YouTube, it supports many other sites as well.

My strategy is to grab 120k versions of music I want right now, using yt-dlp with Bandcamp. Then, when BC does their Bandcamp Fridays, I buy as many of the 320k versions that I can afford.

Also, check out https://squid.wtf/ if you want higher quality and better selection. I have pretty good luck with the Qobuz servers when I can't find something on BC.

As others said, don't forget that the purpose of all this is to fuck the corporations, not the artists.

My wife occasionally sends me TikTok videos she finds interesting. I don't have the app installed because I can't be trusted to not end up scrolling for hours, and TikTok's website is pure dog shit. Because they want you using the app.

Anyway, turns out yt-dlp works perfectly with TikTok 👍🏽

Oh man, I had no idea! I don't have tiktok so sometimes I'm not paying attention and click a link somebody sends me and it just goes to some broken page because my phone can't handle the intent...

I'll have to fix this with Tasker and Termux

I had no idea about the bandcamp Fridays thing, definitely noting that for later
