@hot coral

[shadow breach]

wait24h

[maiden river]

I have the same problem and waited for 2d, the timer restarted

[sharp lance]

@maiden river and "True" this is currently a problem because a Project Called Anna's Archive is apperantly using SpotDL to mass download Spotify songs.

The Client IDs/Secrets that are shipped with the application will not work because they are used massively now.

Spotifys Reaction was to also block Making own Secrets and IDs

[maiden river]

ic

[steady beacon]

Is there any other program that can be used instead?

[bitter kettle]

Spotiflac

https://github.com/afkarxyz/SpotiFLAC

[fleet bison]

thats annoying

[sharp lance]

No not really there is the Spotiflac Alternative now and yeah Anna's Archive is trying to help us

Just does it wrongly

[fervent cedar]

anna archive really ruined all developer on spotify
and spotdl

[sharp lance]

Spotify probably would have shut down SpotDL some day but yeah My API key is now dead...

[fervent cedar]

Spotdl is legal, because it’s just you as a user to fetch on spotify api

[fervent cedar]

You still are able to use some auth token for now

[sharp lance]

In which way is it legal to pirate songs? They still go to YTDlp afterwards

SpotDL is breaking YouTubes and Spotify TOS...

[fervent cedar]

Donwloading is legal

Hosting files online is not

It’s like watching ‘illegal’ streaming website

[steel peak]

they're not using spotdl?

they're just using the official api

to scrape, or just store the metadata from spotify

[sharp lance]

You are speaking for all Countries now hmm....

In most it's illegal

[steel peak]

its actually not?

because you dont get any music streams from spotify

you only get the metadata from spotify

spotdl uses the isrc code and song title + artist title to get the song from ytm or yt

its completely legal

[sharp lance]

What about downloading the song from YouTube???? That's still illegal

You are downloading copyrighted content

[steel peak]

thats just against the tos, not illegal

[sharp lance]

In Germany that's totally illegal for me

[steel peak]

its basically in grey area

[sharp lance]

That's like you pirating a movie or a game

There is literally no difference

[steel peak]

god knows

but

spotdl is in the grey area

nowadays even google's own ai recommends using yt-dlp or some yt downloader for many purposes lmao

[sharp lance]

Yeah because their stupid AI is just a AI trained by reddit

[fervent cedar]

if buying isn't owning, then pircay isn't stealing :D
but yeah, spotdl is technically downloading metadata, and this is from the api, and afaik using an api has never been illegal

[steel peak]

bruh

[fervent cedar]

well, google and all those LLMs providers did train illegally too

sooooooo at this point...

[sharp lance]

Let's stop forgetting the Spotify part... The YouTube YT-DLP part is illegal

[steel peak]

nvidia also uses sources from aa dont forget that ^-^

[sharp lance]

I mean I don't care about it but like you are saying it "YEAH THIS IS JUST A GREY ZONE, YOU ALL CAN PIRATE FINE"

[sharp lance]

Oh yeah true, I love that

[steel peak]

i didnt use all caps tho?

[fervent cedar]

so, watching videos from youtube is legal, but recording or downloading the audio part is not?

[sharp lance]

Go into a cinema, do the same... You will be kicked out and maybe even sued here

[steel peak]

they explicitly say its against the tos to share the content without copyright or owner's permission

[steel peak]

basically everywhere

[fervent cedar]

watch youtube, open the camera and record your screen XD

[steel peak]

but i'll mention one thing

we're not using it comercially

we're using it personally

[fervent cedar]

to me, as long as you don't share it it should be fine

[steel peak]

nobody cares if we download for our own personal use

[fervent cedar]

i am not seeding it

[steel peak]

yea. spotdl is a tool. not sharing platform

[sharp lance]

I know, I know still doesn't remove the fact that it's technically not legal at all. I mean who cares besides the million of artists that don't get paid

On the same side Spotify also pays them really badly

[steel peak]

it technically is illegal by youtube's terms, but not by government terms.

and also.

youtube distributes them for free to be playable.

basically allowing users to use it as they want.

listen, clone, understand, study. what ever.

also many times.

artists do get paid.

in good amounts.

and more listens = more revenue

and companies pay them to make them

[sharp lance]

It should be illegal by the government but yeah the law is dog shit.. I mean it's technically illegal still by their TOS and also by the law if it was correctly formed and written. So yeah it's theoretically illegal but again no one cares

[steel peak]

and its their choice to make or not.

[steel peak]

it will never really be. its not like the pirate's bay. its normal and thousands of people do it

[sharp lance]

$0,003/Perstream Oh yeah that's totally enough...

[fervent cedar]

remember when people back in the days (when i wasn't born) rent a dvd, and then used to rip a disc to get a copy? haha

[steel peak]

can you also tell me how many times have you listened to a certain song? and also tell me, how many people listen to that song? and also how many people play that same song again and again and again.

its not a one time payment

nor a high paying

its a normal/casual thing to get paid eventually.

[fervent cedar]

so 1000 views is 3$??? i remember on youtube it was 1$ per 1000 views
here it's spotify streaming is even easier, so it's still good i believe

[steel peak]

lmao frr. i wasnt born either but i have seen alot of those

[steel peak]

btw are we forgetting that there's over a hundred platforms you can sell that song's copyright to?

[sharp lance]

Cavetown - Devil Town - I should have listened to it around 1100 times at least because it's the starting song of my Sleep music Playlist then the many times I heard it while I cried.

I could check now how many time It was heard but I'm too lazy

[steel peak]

then just guess how much would you have made for that artist just by that.

[sharp lance]

So yeah 3 bucks...

[fervent cedar]

awh... i hope you are doing okay?
hope you don't cry too much!

it's crazy so you spend like 3000 minutes, and that gave them 3$

[sharp lance]

Yeah I am, I just cry a lot

[steel peak]

and dont forget alot of people listen to it too. your not alone.

[fervent cedar]

yeah, in that sense it's not a lot

[steel peak]

take care of yourself, its not a good thing to always cry!

[sharp lance]

Yeah I know, it's a pretty popular song but still money is money. Imagine thats a little band needing money

[steel peak]

be a strong boy/girl!

[fervent cedar]

i hope nothing too bad happens to you a lot of times

[steel peak]

yea, but it was their choice, their pasion so they made the song, not for money, but for pasion and love.

[sharp lance]

Ouch, I'm non-binary lol, please don't be sorry for miss gendering me, you couldnt know

[fervent cedar]

you should have looked at their profile haha

[steel peak]

that's fine, everyone's kinda different. its fine. you're just special!

[fervent cedar]

and their straw page (i'm a stalker)

[steel peak]

i dont really check people's profile.

[steel peak]

lmaoo

[sharp lance]

I'm a stalker too lol

[fervent cedar]

true, me neither, i only did after you sent that message XD

[fervent cedar]

you won't find anything from me!

[steel peak]

loll

[fervent cedar]

(bet)

[steel peak]

fr, bro has nothing on his profile.

[fervent cedar]

i should have an emoji

[fervent cedar]

what is discord opsy?

[steel peak]

that's a pokemon i remember, i forget the name but ash has him(satoshi)

[steel peak]

just a friend's server

[fervent cedar]

woah this looks so sick!

and i wished i could see the blurred video

[fervent cedar]

yeah you're on the right track, it's my pfp

[steel peak]

stalker-

[fervent cedar]

greninja

[steel peak]

yea i saw

[fervent cedar]

what do you expect when you put links on your profile lmao

[steel peak]

there's content below too, but i just have the spotify part broken.

[steel peak]

ahem.

great my kinda twin kinda gf is now angry that i'm ignoring them.

[sharp lance]

The blurred video is really distracting

Makes the text unreadable

[steel peak]

that's the reason i kept it blurred, or else it would be even more distracting if it wasnt blurred

[sharp lance]

The video has too many switches in it which is really distracting like from dark to full brightness which makes my brain focuses then on it than on the text

[steel peak]

that's tbh on how much adhd you have-

tbh i change the edits frequently

it was different before

[sharp lance]

I don't think I have ADHD

[steel peak]

probably

i do

and i get distracted by the smallest things

[sharp lance]

I don't want to take medicine for it that's why I don't test myself

[steel peak]

i dont take any medicine either?-

there's medicine for that?-

[sharp lance]

Yeah?

It stops Dopamine...

[steel peak]

i thought its a symptom, not a disease

[steel peak]

the thing to sleep?

[sharp lance]

No the hormone that gives you happiness

[fervent cedar]

this is melatonine

[sharp lance]

The medication apperantly let's you focus on on things but also let's you feel like your brain is stuck in a box

Methylphenidat is what you have to Google if you want

My gf takes it

[steel peak]

ohh, then that's a reason im always sadistic lmao

[steel peak]

ohh

[steel peak]

welp i dont want that

(this guy has a gf? is this a guy or a girl...? she/her/they/them...? i dont get it, i dont get what non-binary even means...)

[sharp lance]

I'm biologically a male, Non-binary is when you don't feel like any gender at All. You can either call me guy or girl I don't give a fuck right now because you don't know what that is lol

[steel peak]

(btw sorry im just really dumb-)

[fervent cedar]

that's because you're 10

[steel peak]

ohh

[fervent cedar]

:p

[steel peak]

im 15....

turned 15 this year atleast..

[sharp lance]

Oh wow you're young

[steel peak]

yea

ig

ig so

[fervent cedar]

and he already has a github with stars

[steel peak]

probably

[fervent cedar]

that CS guy genius

[steel peak]

eh? ;-;

[sharp lance]

I'm also in a organization with Hundreds of Stars

I love GitHub

[fervent cedar]

hmm?

[steel peak]

fr

its kinda cool

[steel peak]

captsolo?

[sharp lance]

Computer Science

[steel peak]

ohh

[fervent cedar]

Dia, i can't locate your eyes on your pfp

smh

the more i look at it, the more i get confused haha

[steel peak]

here

[sharp lance]

sorry... Thats the plan of it

[steel peak]

he has more than 2

[fervent cedar]

why is it on the north east XD

[sharp lance]

some random guy from Discord took my original one and made this and just randomly sent me this

[fervent cedar]

it's hilarious

[steel peak]

lmao

[fervent cedar]

the nonsense i love

[sharp lance]

Like lol

[steel peak]

lmfaoo

[fervent cedar]

i'm sorry

they just came to your dm, and sent this, and disappeared?

[steel peak]

yoo kde plasma cool

[sharp lance]

yup

[sharp lance]

This is just on my gaming laptop, i have hyprland on my main Tablet

[steel peak]

ooo, with arch or fedora??

[sharp lance]

arch

[steel peak]

are you using preconfigured or custom?

[sharp lance]

i was too lazy, so preconfigured. I just needed something good looking on 4gb of ram and wanted to see how it goes and ive never got the time to set it correctly up

[steel peak]

ohhh, which preconfig are you using?

[sharp lance]

Kool something

[steel peak]

oh, idk about that but okayy!!

[sharp lance]

https://github.com/JaKooLit/Arch-Hyprland

[steel peak]

i use hyprland too

[fervent cedar]

(i am lost)

[steel peak]

thats not bad

[steel peak]

lost where?

[fervent cedar]

about what you are talking about now

[sharp lance]

I think he is lost by our Linux talk

[fervent cedar]

it's like linux things?

[steel peak]

probably

[steel peak]

yea

[fervent cedar]

why do you all have linux

[steel peak]

its coooool

[sharp lance]

RAM, open source, im a dev of stuff

[steel peak]

lemme reboot into linux
i'll just grab my discord token

[fervent cedar]

discord token?

[fervent cedar]

oh dev of what stuff?

[steel peak]

yea?

i dont wanna login manually

[sharp lance]

Im in a group that takes PC games and we port them to Linux arm64 handhelds

[fervent cedar]

THAT'S AWESOME

[sharp lance]

Yup, im "porting" games for like over 3 years

[fervent cedar]

tbh, this is really amazing, i want to have this skill but i feel like my mind is too restrictive lol

those linux people get my admiration

[sharp lance]

I got into that project without a PC, so i needed to do most of the stuff via phone which was quite funny but now ive got 3 PCs ( one of them is a server) and im constantly developing all kind of stuff but yeah linux is really a pita to learn at the start but once you figure the base out then you can unleash your whole power

[steel peak]

woah coool

[fervent cedar]

it's amazing, maybe if i am curious i could reach out to you!

so... you're porting those games legally???

lol

[steel peak]

im also on linux now :D
after days ig, cus i wanted to play games

[fervent cedar]

meanwhile, me on my mac

no games

it's 6AM!!!

you have to sleep!

[sharp lance]

Yeah, no including of game files etc also a lot of engines are open source like godot, love2d, GameMaker ( isnt open source but we hack into the Android version)

[steel peak]

i also got a mac. :D
but, its basically useless.

[steel peak]

who cares-

i aint sleeping-

[fervent cedar]

dia 1 AM
neuvii 6 AM
smh
those teeny not sleeping

[sharp lance]

I wish

[fervent cedar]

you wish to have a mac????

[sharp lance]

Yes a arm64 one, would make developing a lot easier

[steel peak]

true, i got a intel one, that's its useless

[sharp lance]

I mean like for compiling, it would make everything 100x faster

im thinking about buying myself the new one with the iphone chip

[steel peak]

depends if you're compiling a rust project or a simple react website.

[sharp lance]

Often C++ things that can take ages

especially linking

[steel peak]

i wont really recommend those, i believe air series is better.

[steel peak]

true.

[sharp lance]

But also way more expensive

[steel peak]

probably

but performace wise

its better

its just 20-30% i think

(price)

[sharp lance]

I mean i got my gaming laptop for everything but yeah compiling on arm64 would just be nice

[steel peak]

depends how strong is your gaming laptop

[fervent cedar]

yeah
you use docker for that?

[steel peak]

its normal to not sleep

for me

[steel peak]

no?

nobody uses docker for compiling stuff? like why docker?

[sharp lance]

https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/laptop/ryzen/ai-300-series/amd-ryzen-ai-9-hx-370.html

pretty strong

[steel peak]

then its on you why would you need a mac. btw i wont recommend a mac cus finder is really weird for me... but its on who's using it.

your choice, buddy.

use whatever you like.

[sharp lance]

My biggest problem is the 16gb of ram in here, i cant do anything when im compiling something... A Mac would be faster and make my system not unusable

[fervent cedar]

so basically you need a mac as another compute lol

[sharp lance]

I thought about buying a Chromebook too but yeah their arm64 chips are shit

[steel peak]

same tbh. i just got 8 gb of ram and it oom' so many times, i just cant do much. like i had to once switch to tty just to compile a thing cus everything else was too heavy

[sharp lance]

"once" is nothing. I needed to do that so many times because i had discord and spotify open

[steel peak]

i had to close everything, even my login manager(sddm, i forgot the term)

[steel peak]

damn man.
but atleast you might be rich or old enough to do your own finances, im too young to get anything new lol. atleast in this ram apocalypse, probably

[sharp lance]

Im 16, im not rich, i dont work and would save my allowance for over a year

[steel peak]

i'm more into ai/ml, and i even have stuff like api of my own. its much harder for me to load anything over a 4b model tbh

[steel peak]

ohh, i do work tho, but its for friends or some cheap clients so i can get what i need but in the end of the day, its not much.

[fervent cedar]

15 and 16

damn

imma retire

[steel peak]

lmfao

[fervent cedar]

i feel like a poor dude with no talent XD

[steel peak]

i'll retire next year, i got boards.

[sharp lance]

Haha, you dont have too... You have other talents!!

[steel peak]

nah, you got a lot of talent to help people here!

[fervent cedar]

i work in ai/ml ! here we can talk about that!

haha

[steel peak]

you cant code, or do anything but atleast you might have alot more talents and skills, just burried

[sharp lance]

( fuck, you both now found a topic )

[steel peak]

ooo, what do you like to do with ai?

LMFAOOO

Im a common here ig, XD

[fervent cedar]

CV

(computer vision)

[steel peak]

ooo

[fervent cedar]

and robotics

[steel peak]

but

what with cv

[fervent cedar]

lidar stuffs

camera stuffs

[steel peak]

ohh

[steel peak]

ever trained a model by yourself?

[fervent cedar]

come back!

[sharp lance]

oki

[steel peak]

lmao

[fervent cedar]

Good.

hahaha

[steel peak]

its fine, i can handle both topics at the same time

[sharp lance]

I was just distracted getting a cable to power on my handheld

[steel peak]

no need for anyone to leave

[fervent cedar]

i love how you respawn

[fervent cedar]

i did yeah, it's not like state of the art but it does what i needed

[steel peak]

what model is it then?

[fervent cedar]

nobody leaves here!

[fervent cedar]

YOLO

finetuning

[steel peak]

tts, asr, cv, llm, image, video, motion, code, and whatever else

[sharp lance]

fuck, i should maybe not start two gpu drivers at once... My Handheld is freaking out lol

[steel peak]

ohh, how many parameters was that?

[steel peak]

lmao it will, its like both of them are tryna control one steering wheel at the same time

just restart if its windows, that might get resolved

[fervent cedar]

i forgot haha i work rather on integration rather than training models

[steel peak]

if its linux just go to grub shell and disable the gpu

[fervent cedar]

the field moves so fast, it's like crazy

[sharp lance]

Its a arm64 Handheld, so Linux. Im making my own OS

[steel peak]

and

[steel peak]

omfg, that's cool mann

[fervent cedar]

i bow down

[steel peak]

i wanna make a os too, but too lazy

[steel peak]

ohh, any project

?

[fervent cedar]

i skipped compiler class lol

[steel peak]

how old are you?

[fervent cedar]

i did more interesting stuffs during my student days haha

[fervent cedar]

in the mid 20s haha

[steel peak]

24-26?-

[steel peak]

ohh.

[fervent cedar]

i guess this looks right :')

[steel peak]

btw i have a question

for both of you

have ya'll read the name of the thread we're in? 🥀

[fervent cedar]

people will read this thread and be so lost

they willl be like "so i have to port a game in arm64 handhelf to get spotdl working?"

[steel peak]

lmfaoooo

[steel peak]

or train a language model while configuring linux with hyprland

lmao

or get a mac

[fervent cedar]

mac solves everything

[sharp lance]

I mean is this thread kinda useless now?

[steel peak]

whoever's thread this is, i'm really sorry that we just shamelessly chatted here!

for whoever needs help, please refer to this message:

[sharp lance]

wait more like wasnt it already useless before

[fervent cedar]

it will be useless tomorrow anyways

[steel peak]

it's already useless

[fervent cedar]

well i still use spotdl

[steel peak]

and its still broken

[sharp lance]

i switched to Spotiflac, i mean who doesnt want flac files

[steel peak]

what's that?

is it opensource?

[fervent cedar]

flac files are lossless audio

[steel peak]

i'll make a version of mine- ahem

[steel peak]

so are wav

[sharp lance]

Spotiflac is open source yes and uses tidal to download music that way

[steel peak]

i guess i'll check it later, slide me the linkie.

[fervent cedar]

wanna create a gc together?

or nah

[steel peak]

sure, i got no problem being friends with yall!

ya'll are really cool!

[sharp lance]

https://github.com/afkarxyz/SpotiFLAC

[steel peak]

thanks!

[fervent cedar]

smh when you're playing github

this is peak cs genius

[steel peak]

eh?-

[fervent cedar]

send a fr

[sharp lance]

yup haha, i had my laptop one for like one week once and my friends were confused why i was playing Github for over a week

[steel peak]

how do you do that

[fervent cedar]

ask @sharp lance

[sharp lance]

PreMID a Browser plugin

[steel peak]

accepted.

[fervent cedar]

but why you wanna show people you play github XD

[steel peak]

is it chromium based?

[sharp lance]

https://premid.app/

[steel peak]

okii

[sharp lance]

Its just cool to show what project im working on currently

[steel peak]

its cool, you wont understand-

[sharp lance]

It can also show when im watching netflix etc

[steel peak]

ooo

[fervent cedar]

no more privacy

[steel peak]

its still cool-

[shadow breach]

yea its really cool until u forget to turn it off while navigating to the funny orange website

[umbral magnet]

how well does this work

[wraith rivet]

and why do u not rotate the keys? is that also impossible? or maybe block somehow its ip u know

[sharp lance]

Because Uhm you can't create new keys and your old one is now blocked and needs Spotify Premium , you now need Spotify Premium

[steel peak]

whoever's thread this is, i'm really sorry that we just shamelessly chatted here!

for whoever needs help, please refer to this message:

[dense jackal]

Wait so if we get Spotify premium can we still download? How?

[steel peak]

user auth token, or a client id and secret, duh.

[nimble condor]

so what im hearing is that i have to wait for Annie Archive to download everything before i can use spotdl again

[steel peak]

no?

AA is illegally pirating everything from spotify, so spotify has restricted every way of accessing them, rn AA has alot of metadata, and they're probably gonna get more soon but slowly. so for that spotify restricted the api enough that even normal apps like spotdl and some other projects also cant use the api. we have to find some other way to export metadata from spotify and my way is to get a csv from exportify.net, with that i have a working spotdl fork.

so we have to wait until spotify will make the api back to normal again, or atleast less restrictive.

(in my message, AA refers to anna archives)

[nimble condor]

Ah Thats makes sense thank you

[steel peak]

yes.

[fervent cedar]

No.

[steel peak]

what no?

[fervent cedar]

Yes.

Nothing nothing

[steel peak]

huh

[nimble condor]

So it’s obviously still saying that

What have been the best alts y’all have used

Cuz right now I tried this other website and it downloaded a Swedish movie somehow instead of the song

[fervent cedar]

oh lol

well i still use spotdl

it works like i want

[naive garden]

Hey, I've been having the same error for requests

The only resolution is going for an alternative right?

[fervent cedar]

i don't know because for me it works perfectly

[naive garden]

yea, managed to make it use my key and i still have a request limit

[carmine escarp]

aw

it failed for me as well

[brave flume]

Not sure if this is any help, but I made a PR that fixes it all, no premium required
If you want it to work, do pip uninstall spotdl, then
pip install git+https://github.com/TzurSoffer/spotify-downloader
Spotdl should work again.
if you have GitHub, you could star the repo to help it reach more people, that would be appreciated
https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader/pull/2626

[white lava]

how can i fix this?

[brave flume]

u dont have git, either install git or download the repo as zip, ynzip, and do pip install . inside the folder

[shadow breach]

@brave flume is it known that your fix is missing ISRC and LYRICS?

lyrics im not 100% sure, but i just retried the same spotify link as an old file back when spotdl was good, and that had lyrics (idk if i added them later myself is why im not 100% sure)

[brave flume]

isrc is working, but disabled due to lack of use, and it requires sending a post request to an external website.

I tested isrc, it has little to no effect

[shadow breach]

how do i turn it on?

oh i meant

it doenst embed

in the file

[brave flume]

u cant turn it on via commands, you would have to change the code

in the spotify.py

[shadow breach]

alr ill ask mr gippity

[brave flume]

i would like for it to be enabled via commands. but idk how to do that and noone seems to know and the mods arnt checking their prs

[shadow breach]

im fine without, i was just comparing ur fix and thats all i noticed, figured id mention it

[brave flume]

do u care ifs its disabled? its not hard to enable, you just goto know what file to change

[shadow breach]

id prefer it on cuz why not

tbh i dont care, if i could turn it on, id probably look to see if i could get more fields to embed anyway

like those mood ones

[brave flume]

if you go into spotify.py and find where i do from SpotipyFree import Spotify as SpotifyClient
thnwe you would replace that with somthing like

    from SpotipyFree import Spotify as SpotifyClient_base           # type: ignore
    class SpotifyClient(SpotifyClient_base):
        def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
            super().__init__(*args, getIsrc=True, **kwargs)
