Do I use a website to download songs off of YouTube or Spotify?

Where should I store the music? I haven’t any clue about self-hosting. I’m running GrapheneOS, is it enough to save the songs in Files and play in an app like Auxio? Maybe sync with SyncThing?

What’s the best way to compress mp3 files but still retain the quality (even possible)?

Could really use some help as I’m very inexperienced. :)

    Lidarr is all you need.

    You can do other methods, but this one is simple and effective. Set it up, tell it what bands you like, wait a day and you’ve got the entirety of your childhood favorites and nearly every discography you can think of. All for maybe an hour of upfront work.

    Versus remembering every band/song you ever liked, tracking it down, downloading each individually… Like yeah, you can do that. It’s what I do for shows and movies for curation. But for music, I have so much and so many that curating like this just isn’t as worthwhile as checking off a band in Lidarr and having all of their stuff in a few hours.
