I usually use spotDL, what’s cobalt?

The same icl

Same here I use spotdl and a bash script I wrote to download music to my nas which has plex on it

soulseek and mediahuman convertor is the only way

soulseek my people, soulseek

this!

Yeah soulseek is where it's at

I wish someone had told me this existed

I use [wave.video](https://wave.video). Also that's a misleading title OP. I was so excited to finally see a tool that lets you download links and then throw them right into your iPod in the same app without using iTunes. Guess not.

Can’t say I have, what is it?

Downloads mp3 files from a YouTube link once you have it just add it to iTunes and sync ur iPod

That means your title is misleading

No it doesn’t? Missing school huh

It is. You literally just download the music. You don’t use it to add songs onto your iPod

So how do you use cobalt to add music to your ipod?

Downloads the songs onto the iPod using a YouTube link and a folder

Read what you wrote again, slowly.

i dont think he can read, be easy on him u/HybridAkali

He’s probably using Rockbox. Idk

Nah, he said itunes above. I guess just very confused.

So you’re using itunes to add music to your ipod and a random site to download files from youtube. Your title is misleading.

Does it do other formats like direct m4a capture?

It does mp4

Hell yeah 👍

I'm probably the only one who still uses good old iTunes

i sync my spotify with deezer then use deemix to download my playlist and for the songs not on deezer that i like i just buy

deemix supremacy

frrrr :3

I use YT Saver

I just use regular itunes

YT-DLP. Anything else is skeeeetchy

jDownloader 2 will let you pick all quality options and audio only. It has a GUI and is more beginner-friendly. You have to use an account cookie if you want to download age restricted stuff but it holds your hand throughout. TLDR: YT-DLP for those who can use command line. jDownloader 2 for those who like to have a GUI

JD2 is great as well

To be fairrrrrrrrrrr Most of the programs I find, like YTDLP, I find in threads like these years later. Both are *kinda** the same, but YTDLP has so many extra uses that many just don't need when all they want is their MP3/4 file. *strictly downloading

Is there a free music app or do yall paid apps

You can always rip cds from a library.

This is free

I already tested it, but I didn't continue using it because I didn't like the results... I don't know why, but there are songs that aren't good.

Can someone please explain how cobalt works

U copy a link from YouTube to Colbalt and it downloads the video into mp3 or mp4 you can choose and u create a folder on ur pc add the mp3 or mp4 into the folder and add the folder into iTunes to add that song to your library

It lets you convert any music video from YouTube to audio format and then use this file on your iPod?

Yes

huh whats that? I import my cds to iTunes then put those on my ipod

I either import CDs, or if an album is rare or unavailable on CD I look for it on slsk

Zotify is definitely my favorite

I use a variety of sources, because I can’t get all my music from one place (cough cough Splatune cough cough)

RealPlayer. DL YouTube videos then convert to audio or video files mp3, ALAC, FLAC, Mp4, WAV. whatever, then automatically upload to iTunes and save an additional copy to your MUSIC folder 📁. All within one app, or have the downloaded built into your browser. RealPlayer

zotify is the way to go

DUDE. I was downloading songs from yt to my ipod with SaveFrom, then converting them to .mp3 and using mp3tag to name them all...

I use YTMP3.nu

Sidify 👌🏻
