• Nier automata anime soundtrack album

  YouTube-DLG (https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/) is by far my fave method after all this time. It's an open source desktop app so no need to deal w Bs ads or potential malware or any sort of other nonsense. Source: about 1 year ago

• How to prevent sites from disabling context menu items?

  It seems that you have found a site that uses Media Source Extensions to stream videos. Firefox is receiving the video in small pieces, making it impossible to download the entire video all at once using the context menu. Give youtube-dl-gui a try. It can download full videos from many sites, including Youtube. Source: about 1 year ago

• .mp3s downloading as .webms

  Hello, I have been using youtubedl for 3 years now. First, I used it via py, then I downloaded the command exe, but it stopped working, after which I switched to youtube-dl-gui, which it worked fine up until a month ago. Now I'm on yt-dlg, and it works but in a weird way. .mp4s are downloaded fine, but when I try to download an .mp3, it's usually done in a matter of seconds and the status at the end always says...

• Newbie, sorry if questions are obvious, not that tech savvy! 1. Recommended jdownloader2 to rip BBC sounds - copied link & faced with hundreds of lines, how do I identify which is music file? 2. Fed up with vinyl only albums not having digital d/l, can anyone recommend to use site to find digi copy?

  For downloading from BBC Sounds - Youtube-DLG is what you want - https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/. Just paste the link in and it will download it. You can also use get_iplayer if you want to dabble in the command line stuff. Source: over 1 year ago

• [Audio] The MQA Controversy: How an inferior format tried to take over the high-end audio market and caused major backlash

  Excessive licensing costs weren’t the only concern surrounding MQA though. MQA is touted as being DRM free, with audio streams able to be stored in the very popular, open source FLAC format. Only the lower resolution 16-bit audio is truly DRM free however. MQA’s authentication watermarking must be present in the file, and properly validated at playback, otherwise MQA decoders will refuse to unfold the audio to... Source: over 1 year ago

• What audio format do you put on your iPods?

  FLAC continues to be actively maintained and updated. Which, actually thanks for asking your question because in checking sources I noticed FLAC was just updated not two weeks ago. I thik the last time I updated my encoder libraries was after MP3 lost patent protection and dropped licensing a few years ago, so this is fortuitous timing! Anyways, FLAC continues to be meaningfully updated (homepage @ xiph and the... Source: over 1 year ago

• ELI5: How does audio compression (mp3, etc) make sound files so much smaller?
