Freyr can be fed a spotify/apple music link, find the highest quality version and pull the file from YouTube music or YouTube. Then it will automatically write the appropriate metadata and cover art to the songs.
If all else fails, yt-dlp to directly rip from YouTube.
Or buy it legally. In the past I’ve gotten songs by buying from Artists’ website, bandcamp, and iTunes.
Shazam what I hear around me and like. Often it’s just bus drivers listening to music, and since I sit in the front if possible, I can discover music. Or just radio, whether it’s FM, DAB+ or internet. AM is usually limited to news and bazillion chinese stations.
But how do you get latest tracks?
