Where to find flac and other lossless file types in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] Andiama@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Mostly for me, Qobuz rips (through SlavArt) are the best. But if for some reason you can't get what you want on Qobuz, I typically look it up on Soulseek and 99% of the time I found what I'm looking for

Is it possible to find an album on DoubleDouble if it's on Amazon Music but not Spotify or iTunes? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Try the Slav Art *Divolt (they moved to Discord), I think they recently implemented an Amazon Music downloader there.

No, that's a "prank".

Ways to pirate music as convenient as Spotify? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Okay, first things first, I'm sorry for being very very ignorant.

But wouldn't a 200-300$ Android phone also support foobar2000 and playing FLACs?

I may have downloaded music from 1337xx.to . is there anything to worry about? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

No idea about the site, never heard of it. Pretty sure FLACs couldn't harm your PC (correct me if I'm wrong).

Buuuuuut if you're gonna download another FLAC from the internet I think it would be safer to get it from either doubledouble.top, the Slav Art Divolt channel, or just Soulseek like the other dude mentioned.

As said, I'm very paranoid because this might be the only chance I get to move somewhere decent (minus all the, well, problems).

Judging from your statement, does it mean that

  1. I can bring an external hard drive (like 1 or 2 because I have terabytes of data from my old drives)? and 2. Gigabit connections are essentially available in every single household in Aussie?

Funnily enough, I have relations in the Indonesian Government and they use pirated software on a day to day basis lol. So nah, definitely not a first world problem, just me being paranoid.

Honestly, hearing back from a fellow SE Asian took a lot off my chest. Let's just hope I don't get "randomly checked" for my devices I guess.

Damn, didn't think this would gain this much traction. Thanks for the suggestions and help everyone.

Judging from the fact that I'm going with a Student Visa, I guess my best course of action is just uploading it to a cloud service. Might not be the most bandwidth efficient, yes, but sure as hell has the best chance of succeeding.

Again, many thanks for the suggestions, seafarers! May your ship sail smooth, mateys.

Indonesian moving to Australia soon, I'm just concerned my laptop/phone will be checked for pirated content.

The general rule of thumb I've seen around the internet is "encrypt your drive", which is easy enough. But the other approach typically says "bring a burner phone / laptop" which of course isn't viable in my case.

Can anyone confirm on the legitimacy of these claims? I know I pirate light (""light"" compared to the vets here), but I'm just so paranoid that I could be held up and sent back home, because this might be my only shot.
