  • If you must use Spotify, use ZSpotify with DOWNLOAD_REAL_TIME and hope you don't get banned. Alternatively, use it with a burner account.

    I prefer Deezer and pay for Deezer HiFi. Deemix still works to rip FLACs from there.

  • Isn't YTM like 128-192kbps AAC? I'd rather not even bother ripping that lol

  • Spotify's encoding (vorbis 320kbps) should be transparent at the maximum bitrate. However, it's possible that the files uploaded on there are mastered differently, for average consumer consumption instead of the full dynamics of most source material. I know SoundCloud enforces "loudness" mastering with presets when uploading for example.

    The real reason Spotify's quality is inferior to others is that, if you have the music files, you can apply in-app parametric equalization on every platform and compensate for imperfections of your output device.

  • Tidal, Deezer and Quboz all have ways to download the content. The most stupid one being to record the output of the music player, but there's tools that automatically get the full metadata too and ensure the audio is cropped to silence.

    To do it in an intended way, Bandcamp and other services let you pay once to have access to the source file on your account "forever".

  • Opus at max bitrate is only like 1/4th the size of FLAC. At that point, why not just store it in 10GB while keeping the full quality?

  • Without DirectX or OpenGL you'd have to create a GPU driver or do CPU rendering...

  • Fonts can be handled by Windows itself.

    I don't care about internationalization, just EN-US is good enough.

    Having more pixels doesn't change asset sizes when the pixels used per asset are the same. Just show me the smaller button or use vector graphics.
