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. :)

    I’ve used Spotify for like 20 years now, and I’m finally going back to pirating.

    They started “innovating” and adding shit I didn’t want last year to justify fee increases.

    I can’t trust businesses to not enshittify, so might as well continue on with where I left my library all those years ago.

    Plus: So much music isn’t available on there. I have a huge collection of Japanese Rock, Pop, Visual Kei from the 90s and 00s that you just can’t find easily.
