Thanks for the all your responses guys - it was most appreciated.
I found a surprisingly simple solution - Quickplayer! (believe it or not)
thanks, I tried using Audacity but I got an 'incompatible plugin' error message.
Soulseek is great secondary source but often a little slow to get the latest releases - users appear to source their new music from elsewhere (like DJ Sound Top or Electronic Fresh). I was hoping that there might be other primary sources.
thanks for taking the time out to clarify this for me.
Unfortunately, I'm too stupid to make sense of how to use yt-dlp
You managed to download it for yourself using yt-dlp?
thanks very much for that.
I don't see the required yt-dlp app (or whatever) for the iMac and the above just appears to be a link that I can't use.
Can you please clarify what I might need to do to install/download yt-dlp?
Transmission used to be my preferred app hands down but recent updates have negatively impacted its performance on my end. If all it needs to do is download torrents, why does it now sometimes seem incapable of connecting to a given (popular) swarm ?
Particularly unfortunate is that once it does connect, the download speed has now become arbitrary: it keeps alternating between 'incredibly fast' and 'surprisingly slow' and takes three or four times as long to complete. I've become so exasperated with it that I've been forced to move on (deluge instantly connects and consistently downloads at five times the speed).
I really like biglybt, but why is it so... slow to add torrents or shut itself down? It seems as if the app does so many different things simultaneously that it doesn't do them seamlessly or instantaneously. I mean, why does it need 'up to twenty seconds' to close after you've downloaded something? Is it bloat? Is there a way to streamline its running?
the app settings don't appear to say anything about magnet links
It doesn't appear to be a browser issue - same thing happens irrespective of browser
Thanks for the quick reply, but that doesn't work for me (there is no popup on my end).
Dough!
