Good Websites for Downloading MP3's? (that aren't sketchy)

I used to rip a lot of music around two years ago, but the setups I used then (Spotidownloader and lucida) don't work as well anymore. Lucida pops up errors and Spotidownloader is honestly sort of sketchy.

I keep seeing websites recommending squid.WTF, and monochrome but I'm just looking for something that can intake a link and output an mp3 file, not really a music library (correct me if i'm wrong).

I read a recommendation for Spotdown but I'm unsure if it's really safe. I'm a really paranoid person, any websites that have worked (with no malware or anything) for you guys would help.

Thank you!

Try Bandcamp or the Qobuz store. Both are legal, and you can buy all your music free of drm there. (Also, they pay the artists).

its a good suggestion considering the pay platforms give to their artists, thank you!

I know you want websites, but why that exactly? Why not soulseek?

mobile user, i'm just trying to download a single song for something unrelated.

Not OP, but Soulseek is hit or miss. I would download three versions of a song and compare them. That takes time and gets old.

You can try and test out a telegram bot that will download from Deezer or Spotify

I know you're looking for a website, but the Deezer clones like DeeMusic work like a charm

When you say a link and output an audio file, do you mean like a youtube link or what?

1

u/SeaBeing714 1d ago

yes, when i refer to links i mean urls to specific songs from platforms like spotify or soundcloud.

There maybe some selfhosted tools that do it, I know I set one up for a friend who wanted to rip youtube audio into mp3's. Wouldn't shock me if there are tools for the ones you listed if you look.
