Why do you care? Are you trying to spy on me? :scream:

I use Jdownloader now to just fetch the audio directly.

I’m just curious because that’s how you learn new things. :smile:

FWIW I stopped using Jdownloader because it corrupted one of my hard drives due to the way it downloads multiple parts into temporary directories.

I’m so glad you liked it! Hahahaha

I love the movie too. It’s so touching. And Alt-J’s “This is From Matilda” always gets me too. :butterfly:

I use YouTube Downloader for Android when I come across a song on Pandora I want to add to my device. You can select what format you want the audio transcoded to after it’s fetched from YouTube. The app isn’t available on the Play Store so you have to sideload it. There are instructions on how to on the suspiciously plain looking Github website. Don’t worry, it’s a safe app. There’s the original release thread from the author on XDA if you want to search it out.

Whelp, Jdownloader sometimes pulls 50Mb+ files as audio files… @spudmuffin looks like I’ll have to try that app

This better be safe and good :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Edit: I think it works just like I want it, thanks a lot @spudmuffin !
Too bad that the auto convert won’t work (reliably), guess one can’t have everything :see_no_evil:

Help: Is there any way for me to insert a link to a video? The song I want isn’t listed officially :laughing:

I think I might have found a way, but now my means to send the link to myself don’t work anymore, Telegram is absolutely unusable now…anybody else wt that issue in general?

What a ride, after it crashing constantly I deleted it, reinstalled it, ran a virus scan, it still didn’t work, now it suddenly is fine again.

The whole how do I download that unlisted track is still unsolved tho lol

Hmm… If you’re still having trouble you can convert the file jDownloader grabbed in VLC and use it to convert to an audio file. I think the option to transcode is under Record.

You may also want to try opening the audio file(s) that don’t seem to seek properly in another audio app on your device and see if it seeks correctly. It may actually be the music player you’re using that’s having trouble in this case. :thinking:

Transcoding via VLC never worked for me, idk why :sob: I always get files nothing can play ._.

Yeah nah, I think we had that before, I tried it in other players which had the same issue and also I tried seeking in bought m4a files which didn’t cause any problem ^^

Easy isn’t it!

You’re ideally looking for music with a hard shelf at around 20khz, which will signify a 320 encode (or thereabouts). If you have a self at around 16khz, and it’s at a bitrate higher than 128 then it’s a transcode.

I compared a free track from 2 sources and funnily enough downloaded via soundcloud is higher quality than downloading the official mixtape rofl
