Deemix is still the best.

I unfortunately have to link to Reddit:

Main post: https://www.reddit.com/r/deemix/comments/zlswiz/last_update_is_now_out/

Archive of Main post (above): https://archive.org/details/deemix

Archive of download (as the main website cannot be verified/trusted as it was purposefully not renewed by the developers; someone can come along and snatch it for malicious usage, so beware): https://archive.org/download/deemix/gui

Please do hash-check with files (of the program/application) you download to ensure they have not been tampered with.

Then use an ARL (essentially a user API with premium account status):

You can download uncompressed .flac or compressed .aac or .mp3 files.

Enjoy.

No. Fediverse is great by design, but is too complicated at the moment (maybe it’s just how platforms are set up at the moment).

The design is not too intuitive in looking at other posts from different instances/servers.

For example going to this post:

• Clicking !freemediaheckyeah@lemmy.fmhy.ml
  in the sidebar directs me to
  lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/freemediaheckyeah
  (different instance)
• Clicking FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH@lemmy.fmhy.ml
  at the top of the post directs me to
  lemmy.ml/c/freemediaheckyeah@lemmy.fmhy.ml
  (same instance)
