Does anyone download MP3s anymore?
| 60 gigs of music on my HDD. <3 Fuck streaming!
| Mp3's are great! I still use some for modding into my games and stuff. Mostly Persona 4 and 5 osts and VA-11 HALL-A tracks.
| I mainly use Spotify but I have 20Gb~ of downloaded music just in case
| I use youtube for music but I want to get a music collection again.
| Used to be happy with Spotify, but it lags badly now, so I'm back to hunting for MP3s
| Heck yeah I download MP3s still. I need them for my 3dS mUsIc PlAyEr!!1!
| soulseek baby, i got over 7,000 songs in my library
| Got a solid 300gbs of mp3s on my hard drive. FLAC would be nice, but fuck that hard drive space. MP3 ftw
| I do. Easier to store music on my phone rather than .flac's, even if the music quality isn't as high.
I don't like streaming music + don't have an unlimited data plan.
| I mainly use sites like freemusicarchive, jamendo, and other free music sources, so it's mp3s all the way.
| I mainly use sites like freemusicarchive, jamendo, and other free music sources, so it's mp3s all the way.
| I download about 5 albums using torrents every week, mostly metal derivates. I also seed most of them for 2 weeks or even months.
The sad part is I can't be online as much time as I would like in order to share.
| I have the archivist bug, I cant bring myself to just stream shit because I have shitty bandwidth caps andnfrequent outages, so I need to store everything
To make it worse I end up trying to find full albums or even discographies instead of just... Finding the one song and thats it.
How do y'all grab youtube stuff and keep the audio quality up? The shit ive tried either drops quality or has weird metadata problems that make winamp think a 3 minute song is 30 minutes
| Streaming can be a huge problem, since you don't have a internet connection everywhere
Mp3s are just safer for me
| >>416178 I use YoutubeDLG. It can download the full vid or just the audio. Also has no problem with downloading a playlist. I don't notice any quality decrease, though, I am not an audio person, so I am not 100% sure if it would satisfy you.
| Real talk. Does anyone still own an MP3 *player*?
| Yep, dont like ti stream my music
| Got the audiophile bug a while back, so I track down FLACs whenever I can and then convert to opus since thats the hot new format.
But im too lazy to do that for anything but full albums so half the time I end up on my youtube playlists.
| >>416178 I relate... Even if there's only one song you want and you could just grab it off Youtube, the whole album or even discography just feels right, despite the hassle...
Plus, when the internet is out, it's a reminder that having a stored copy is worth the effort.
| I still do, don't really like usimg streaming servicea nor have the data plan to do that.
| spotify users.

I had this shit since like 2007 and its not like I can fit all my music on my shit-ass phone, so... I'm just gonna keep using this ricketty bitch til it craps out on me. The battery is already starting to go since it barely holds a charge likr it once did but fuck it
| Occasionally, although I buy probably 90% or so of the music I get, so I have a lot of CD's, most of which I rip as ALAC.
But I just can't get into music streaming. I feel completely disconnected from music that way.
| post youtube downloaders links
| I do (actually ~80% of my mus is flac, not mp3). Because I still use player. Plus my musical preferences haven't changed since like 2010 and I've collected all music I regularly listen.
(for a ~ year in 2016 I've been using deezer, but it sux and there's no app for my player)
| I wish I could find a good cheap headset for better audio quality but no matter whether I buy pricy or cheap they ALL cheap out on me within a year and a half anyway...
| >Does anyone download MP3s anymore
Absolutely, most of my music comes from Bandcamp in the FLAC or MP3 format. I want to actually own my music so I don't use disservices such as Spotify.
| I rip tracks from Spotify. Yes, I'm fully aware that I am a filthy pirate.
| I have over 200GB of music on my hard drive. I usually use Soulseek for downloading music. It's nice to have everything on my computer/phone so I don't have to worry about streaming and bandwidth costs.

| I do... Is it out of fashion or something?
| I rip .ogg and .opus files pretty regularly, and if I make music and drop it it's either mp3 or off depending who it's for
| I try to buy all my music in flacs from bandcamp and 7digital (going the piracy route if need be) but yeah I’ve ditched steaming services, only using them to disover songs to download
| >>418617
youtube doesn't do FLAC. in fact you won't get lossless off it, and it's pretty much the biggest audio website i've heard of.
| I get spotify premium from my roommate's family plan and its pretty good. the audio quality isn't great but I can't afford good audio equipment anyways so its not so detrimental.
when I download music from bandcamp, I use mp3 on my phone because often flac is just too large for the tiny drive. on my desktop, I use flac.
| MP3 is still a good quality lossy format and unless you're on some really high end dac/amp plus studio monitors you won't tell the difference between MP3 320 and FLAC. You also have to be careful with finding lossless files since mouthbreathers like to transcode lossy to lossless (eg MP3 to FLAC) and waste file size for no reason. Opus is a very good format but not considered a traditional part of the golden four.

| Every music in my phone are mp3s
| Dear /mu/ g/u/rls. I used to be a poor and sad YouTube to MP3 downloader, until I stumbled across this thread. My eyes have been opened. I now either find quality music torrents, or buy music on Bandcamp, and download every file format they give me, storing it all neatly in a folder on my computer. I plan to go out and purchase a quality external storage unit, to hold all these newfound lossless audio formats.
| I am no longer a poor and sad YouTube to MP3 downloader, but am now a happy, and even poorer FLAC and other formats downloader, because I am paying for some music. I'd like to sincerely thank you /mu/, for educating me, and for supporting me on my journey to becoming a knowledgeable, and cultured audio collector. MP3 is now a thing of the past, reserved only for my phone and MP3 players. I extend my sincerest gratitude to you all.
| MP3 is a no brainer since I'm not going to tie my music access to Internet availability.
I used to rip everything from YT, and while its not unbearable, the low fidelity definitely makes it very unsatisfying if you listen too closely. So now I want to go back and track down high quality MP3 or flacs of my songs. Especially after I bought a couple of real CDs for comparison.
But, that takes time! And I just don't have much of it these days, so it'll probably take a while.

| I still do. I have a couple dozen gigs of music on my hdd. The internet service quality in the midwest is shit.
Also I don't like or use Apple, itunes, or spotify.
