Sites and rippers
List of a ways to get lossless files for separation process
Various music is scattered across various streaming services nowadays. If you can’t find your track on one service, or its ripper currently doesn’t work (it constantly changes) or you encountered an error (usually due to regional lock) check some other streaming service or the net (more below).
List of all lossless streaming services with rippers below:
Tidal (also hi-res, Atmos), Qobuz (also hi-res), Apple Music (hi-res, Atmos with more channels), Amazon Music (they support hi-res), Deezer (16/48 FLAC).
Notes: Qobuz bans accounts using Qobuz-DL since October 1st 2025, so it might not be supported by any sites. Also Deezer stopped being supported quite some time ago (but things could change since then).
Spotify's new lossless feature was outputting either fake or incorrect lossless at least for some files.
0) antra.hoshi.cfd (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal, Qobuz, or Deezer, for link pasting; good for some stuff not downloadable from Tidal below and not on Amazon, or erroring out below, although they have some limits for free users; downloading requires pasting link, then clicking download, then again download below, but it works; if you see red “quality” error for Tidal links, decrease output quality to FLAC 16, the “Paste” button doesn’t download, it only paste your link from the clipboard, hence it asks for privileges, as well those for saving the cache to temp location before saving; if you see “could not be written” error, just click small download icon near your song title)
0) lucida.to | lucida.su (sometimes works, sometimes redirects to doubledouble.top)
(Qobuz, Deezer [may not work], Tidal [incl. 24/96kHz FLAC stereo], Amazon Music, Beatport, lossy: Spotify, Yandex Music, Soundcloud). Various subscription regions, for now there’s no Apple Music) - for URLs generated from share option on these services.
Troubleshooting
a) Try out 2-3 times for at least Tidal links when having errors after ripping started.
- Send your request again if you got site unreachable browser error during download
- Sometimes it might fail generating download in the first place
- It frequently shows that it’s down, simply retry entering
b) “if a track has a status code 404, it means it is unavailable (region locked or completely unavailable) you have to try with another country/account under 'advanced…'”
c) Downloading more than EP (7-10 songs) at a time works clunky - it’s slow (at least from Tidal), plus during downloading track ~10 it might give an error, so you need to click retry, sometimes a few times, and then the whole album ripping will be completed. It might occur more than once for one album
d) Clicking retry while downloading whole albums from e.g. might end up with loops of “An error occurred. Track #1 error: Max retries attempted.” errors, after long wait on “Sending request for item 1” or series of interrupted downloads, while downloading single songs will work fine
c) You cannot download Dolby Atmos versions of songs from e.g. Tidal (use am-dl for Apple Music instead)
d) For "An error occurred. Unexpected token '<', "<html> <h"... is not valid JSON." just retry the task, or uncheck add metadata option.
e) For a search found as “unidentified” with generic cover, e.g. on Amazon, use Japan region and retry the search
- All linking schemes like:
1) https://www.deezer.com/xx/track/XXXXXXXXXXXX?host=XXXXXXX&utm_campaign=clipboard-generic&utm_source=user_sharing&utm_content=track-XXXXXXXXXXXX&deferredFl=1&universal_link=1”
2) Later converted by lucida automatically to: https://www.deezer.com/xxx/track/XXXXXXX or
3) https://link.deezer.com/s/xXxXXxxXxxxXxxXX
can can give “uh-oh!” error - if stats page shows 0 downloads for Deezer (or any other service), it just doesn’t work (then check antra).
*) Sometimes links from Deezer in the sharing option might not show up, then just play the preview of the song, and try again
- Sometimes Tidal links will work after retrying the pasting link request, or if you cut everything which follows https://tidal.com/track/xxxxxxxx/ so the “u” (not sure which one).
- In Amazon linking scheme, referral number appears in the middle, not at the end of the link, so you can debloat the following to restrict the tracker: https://music.amazon.com/albums/B073JR1FBD?marketplaceId=A3K6Y4MI8GDYMT&musicTerritory=PL&ref=dm_sh_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&trackAsin=B073RRBQR5
By the following:
https://music.amazon.com/albums/B073JR1FBD?marketplaceId=A3K6Y4MI8GDYMT&musicTerritory=PL&trackAsin=B073RRBQR5
When you use shared Amazon links, sometimes they must be deprived of some information after “&” mark, in order to not return error on the site, but because they contain an “album” string, you might end up with the whole album downloaded instead of a single song if you did it wrong.
At some point region string was better to be rather US instead of whatever your shared links have (it seems the accounts have US region), but now other regions in the links work too, and currently are changed automatically to US, and sometimes changing them manually to US might cause another error. Setting Japan in the Lucida region might alleviate some issues, but it will give Japan names of artists in the output files (both in tags and file names).
I think at least some of these linking issues were fixed since then.
0) doubledouble.top (Qobuz, Amazon Music, Tidal doesn’t seem to work for the EU region for now, and for US rarely] and Soundcloud) Sometimes works, sometimes redirects to Lucida. For URLs, it supported Apple Music unlike Lucida (but later it stopped working too or worked rarely or with specific music, then Lucida started supporting it), and at some point it returned only mp3 128kbps from Deezer (check current “server stats” at the bottom).
In specific cases, some streaming services might not have FLAC for your song, then use other streaming service.
0) arcod.xyz (works for Qobuz)
0) am-dl.pages.dev (for Apple Music: ALAC, Atmos, and music videos, allegedly downloading whole albums might start downloading lossy. By default it downloads in lossy AAC (m4a). When you place “-alac” before your link to Apple Music, it downloads losslessly in ALAC [in m4a container]; the same goes to Atmos - just place “-atmos” before your link. E.g.:
-alac https://music.apple.com/lt/song/tone-deaf/1545457716
Be aware that it can stop for a minute or two on “Preparing”, but then it initializes normally).
~) yams.tf (it seems like old accounts where lost, you need to re-register - very simple registration without email now is required; it shows only 5 first hits from the search, so use artist and song name for the best hit; based on song search, it allows playing the files in your browser in FLAC and creating your own playlists, but at least the web version now stopped playing anything after errors were shown.
Downloading was only possible with Settings>DevTools>Media>Start playing>New entry appears>Open in new Tab>...>Download. But it outputs generic file names and tags are empty). Didn’t check what streaming service it uses now.
Before, it supported Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, Spotify and Apple Music only at 320 kbps, and worked only with URLs.
___
?) monochrome.samidy.com - (currently it says it’s under maintenance at the top, and not only playback, but also downloading doesn’t work, later if it fails to download anything [error after “starting” which in fact is the download process], use incognito mode [disabling adblock doesn’t help]; it allows downloading from queries in the search, don’t click download button more than once - wait a while - the download will start after a moment. Sometimes the search doesn’t work immediately, or needs manually inserting URL looking like: https://monochrome.samidy.com/search/rjd2%20deadringer
Also, once in April 2026 the yellow message in the left said it was unstable at the moment, and sometimes could break downloads - retrying a few times helps, but a special Chromium-based browser extension allegedly helps to fix that if it still states any problem to you. Some, e.g. Tidal links, not working in lucida or doubledouble won’t work here too, but no error will appear after the download button will be clicked - the download will just not start without any error. If redirecting to a specific album doesn’t list the tracklist and everything is grey, you won’t be able to download it directly from search clicking on three dots).
Mirrors (if the above says it’s still under maintenance, the following will have the same): monochrome.tf | lossless.wtf | if-it-runs-ship-it.lol | monochromemusic.pages.dev | monochrome.samidy.com | mono.squid.wtf
Unofficial mirrors:
indiachrome.pages.dev | mono.kennyy.com.br
?) t2tunes.site (currently it says it doesn’t work and you should check it out later; works searching by song titles or by albums, various regions in settings, and hi-res; if you look for songs on specific albums which don’t appear, write just album name without an artist, the same goes for song titles (then don’t write artist name) otherwise the search won’t work correctly; don’t click download multiple times, at some point there was no indicator that the downloading has started nor any progress bar, it just downloads in background and notifies when it’s finished (clicking download button manually shows current progress); it seems to download only from Amazon Music up to 192kHz)

New services might appear sooner here and here or here

Telegram ripping bots
Note: To use Telegram in a browser, visit
You need the app installed and an account registered on your phone, and then QR code from there is needed.
1a) Bot
1b) Amazon bot (up to 24/96 FLAC)

Q: “I hit start bot, but nothing happens”
A: “Once you start the bot, you must type /codec and send, then it will show a menu where you pick the format you want (mp3, flac, atmos)
After selecting a codec, you simply need to send a link to a track or album.
The bot will download all the tracks in the format you pick, but if the track is not available in Atmos it will be ignored”

3) Apple Music ALAC/Atmos downloader
https://github.com/adoalin/apple-music-alac-downloader (valid subscription required, you can’t use an account that’s on a family sharing plan, more about installation below in Dolby Atmos section)
Might be less comfy to install for beginners. It requires Android (rooted at best and in Android Studio w/o Google APIs) and installing specific Frida server version (for not rooted devices it might be more complicated) and specific version of Apple Music app.

5) Tidal Downloader Pro (the fastest method for batch and local downloading) in GUI.
HiFi Plus subscription is no longer necessary, just valid Hi-Fi subscription (for at least Hi-Fi albums, the two are merged in one for the price of the cheaper one now).
You won’t be able to download with better quality than 24 bit/48kHz and in Atmos with this downloader (then use orpheusdl_tidal instead, or tidal-dl-ng (mirror, 2) - but for that one I’m not sure if it downloads Atmos files) or tiddl.
Install Tidal app on Windows and log in, then open the downloader and click log, copy and paste the given code in the opened browser tab and voila.
Or if that GUI temporarily doesn’t work, go to: https://github.com/yaronzz/Tidal-Media-Downloader/releases and download the newest source code. It contains CMD version for downloading, located in: Tidal-Media-Downloader-202x.xx.xx.x\TIDALDL-PY\exe
Documentation: https://doc.yaronzz.com/post/tidal_dl_installation/
If you have problems with running the app and people also write in GitHub issues that the current version is not working, keep tracking new versions, or read all the issues about this version, it may happen that someone else will update the app before.
Versions “2022.01.21.1” and ”1.2.1.9” need to be updated to newer versions, they stopped working entirely.
(not needed anymore, as current should still work)
You can alternatively grab this recompiled version by another user.
By these downloaders you can easily download whole albums including hi-res and in GUI (PRO), and also queue for single tracks to download automatically is available (Pro).
There are cases when certain songs are behind regional block, and won’t be downloaded by any Divolt or Discord bot resulting in error.
In such a case, you’ll need the above downloader used locally, along with a Hi-Fi Plus subscription bought for your localization. Accounts bought from elsewhere, or paid with foreign currency, will most likely have regional block for some other country, so after you log into the service, certain songs won’t show in search, so the only way to show them without proper account (at least for your region) is to log out from regional locked account, start new account, and visit: https://listen.tidal.com/ (you don’t need to have a valid subscription to search for songs on Tidal).
Besides trial, you can go for Tidal Hi-Fi cheap subscription to: https://www.hotukdeals.com/vouchers/tidal.com or pepper.pl or mydealz.de which always have some free or almost free giveaways (linked to a ready search). Then install the desktop Tidal app and log in and open the downloader. It might automate the login process in the downloader
(if you need to switch an account, you better delete Tidal-GUI folder from your documents folder in case of any problems). Monthly Argentinian subscription is the most reliable solution now if you don’t want to change your account every month or two searching for new offers.
Tidal over some other streaming services has some tracks in master quality which is 24 bit, and it gives better results for separation as the dynamics are usually better. But check if your downloaded file is really a 24 bit and your downloader is configured properly (read the documentation in case of any issues).
But, on Tidal there are were some fake master files in the past, which in reality were 16 bits, and they’re MQA to save space on their servers or mislead people, so there is no benefit from using them vs Audio CD 16 bit rip, since MQA alters quality in higher frequencies (only) and it will have an influence on separation process. So to verify if your downloader is set up properly, check whether you can download any track from Music To be Murdered By, by Eminem in 24 bit. If you can, you have properly installed and authorized the downloader, so it can download 24 bit files or at a higher sample rate than 44kHz if available.
You can paste links from Tidal into the GUI browser to find that track. Just delete “?u” at the end of the shared link.
5b) Colab for downloading from Tidal and Qobuz using your own valid account (based on streamrip, active subscription required):
colab.research.google.com/github/r-piratedgames/rip/blob/master/rip.ipynb
6) For Deezer https://archive.org/details/deemix - it allows you to download mp3 320 and FLAC files for premium Deezer accounts, and only mp3 128kbps for free Deezer accounts.
Be aware that deemix.pro site is unofficial, and the PC 2020 version linked there is not functional. The last 2022 is on the archive.org linked above from reddit.
Qobuz or Deezer might give better results since Tidal is recently deleting FLAC support for 16 bit files on some albums, making all the files 16 bit MQA, which is not fully lossless file format, but close (of course Tidal Downloader converts the same MQA to FLAC). It also provides some high resolution files, but most likely less of them than on Tidal.
Be aware that using some streaming services downloaders or even official Deezer/Tidal/Spotify apps, you might not be able to find or even play there some specific tracks or albums due to:
a) premium lock (it won't be played for free users)
b) regional lock (search will come up empty [the same applies to Tidal here])
Example: Spyair - Imagination instrumental - it shows up in search probably in Japan, though it cannot be downloaded using 2) https://free-mp3-download.net, but deemix with premium Deezer subscription did the job in downloading the song (not sure if it was Japan account).
PS. You can cancel your trial subscription of Deezer or Tidal immediately to avoid being charged in the future, but also keeping the access to premium till the previous charge date at the same time.
Warning: Qobuz started banning accounts using Qobuz-DL; can’t guarantee that other downloaders are not affected.
7) https://github.com/yarrm80s/orpheusdl
Supports Qobuz, Tidal (with this module, and unlike tidal-dl, also downloads files greater than 24/48 and Atmos) and probably more
7a) Bas Curtiz GUI for Orpheus (still needs working subscription)
(*May not work anymore)
7*) If you have a Qobuz subscription, you can just use qobuz-dl (last updated a year ago, probably no longer works, but not sure, there might be some alternative already).
Alternatively check:
Qobuz Downloader X
or Allavsoft (both requires subscription)
https://www.qobuz-dl.com/ (takendown frontend browser client for downloading music for Qobuz. The code for hosting on GH)
7b) https://github.com/nathom/streamrip
A scriptable stream downloader for Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer (active subscription required) and SoundCloud.
8*) For Deezer you can use Deezloader or Deezloader Remix - it doesn’t require any subscription for mp3 128kbps, just register a Deezer account for free before, and use the account in the app. For free users it gives only mp3 128kbps with 16kHz, so it's worse than YT and Opus, so don't bother.
9a) For Spotify, you can use Soggfy, or
9b) SpotiDown (premium subscription for 320kbps downloading and app compiling required)
9c** Seemingly you can use https://spotiflyer.app/
but it “doesn't download from Spotify, but from Saavn, in 128kbps/low-quality.
Also, since it doesn't d/l from Spotify, you can't d/l exclusives released from there.”
It doesn't require a valid subscription irc and also allows playing and sharing music inside the app.
9d** The same sadly goes to this telegram bot downloader:
https://t.me/Spotify_downloa_bot
9e) https://spotify-downloader.com/
10) JDownloader 2 / yt-dl / yt-dlp
for YouTube Music - higher bitrate (256kbps) than max 128/160kbps on regular YT for Opus/webm (48kHz/20kHz cutoff) and AAC/M4A 128kbps (44kHz/16kHz).
Similarly, like in Spotify - it can possess some exclusive files which are unavailable in lossless form on any other platform, but most on YTM are available losslessly on other streaming services, so use them instead.
If you have YouTube Premium you apparently can download files from it if you provide your token properly to yt-dl.
Maybe logging into Google account with enabled premium in JDownloader 2 will do the trick as well.
Anyway, Divolt bot (or any other currently available) will work too.
Note: Google can block your account if you use AdBlocks on YouTube. Use some spare one you won't regret losing for it.
Also: If you’re forced to use regular YT uploads, you can enhance their quality by combining opus and aac streams following this.

General bots usage instructions
(but might depend on a service)
Go to proper dl request channel and write
!dl
and after !dl (on Discord $dl), paste a link to your album or song from the desired streaming service and send the message, e.g.
!dl https://www.deezer.com/en/track/XXXXXX
Follow this link pattern. Sometimes the sharing option on the site changes the link pattern, so you need to open the changed link, and then it will redirect to the one similarly looking like above.
To open the Deezer player to search for files without active subscription, log-in and just go to:
https://www.deezer.com/search/rjd2%20deadringer
And replace the search query with yours after opening the link.
If the bot doesn’t respond in an instant, it probably means the track/album is regional-blocked, and you should use a link from another service or another channel (UK and NZ alternative servers available). It's capable of printing out unavailability errors as well.
Some bots rip tracks or whole albums from Qobuz, Deezer, Tidal - all losslessly, while:
Spotify, Soundcloud Go+, YouTube Music, JioSaavn are lossy.
Providing valid links for bot
For your comfort, you should register and log into every streaming service and share links for specific tracks or albums from these services (e.g. instead of pasting full album links if you want), when you can’t simply find a specific single track in Google for this service, or share the link only for it comfortably. So basically go to https://play.qobuz.com/,
and you can share single tracks to paste for bot to download - available only after logging into free account and only in the link above instead of regular Qobuz file search you can find in Google - there you cannot share single songs to download using bot later. It can happen that you’ll see an error that Qobuz is not available in your country. It’s fine - you won’t have to buy a subscription at this step in order to use their search. It’s enough to log-in using specific link and not the main page, use this one:
https://play.qobuz.com/search/tracks
And it will allow you to log in.
Because the bot rips from Qobuz, it’s the best source of 24 bit files which I recommend if only available (either 44, 48 or 96kHz) as it delivers FLACs for end users, instead of partly lossy MQA on Tidal when some album/song uses Master quality which is compulsory for 24 bit (44/48) there, but MQA 16 bit and Master is also possible for some albums (and you should avoid 16 bit MQA). Of course there might be some exceptions where 24 bit MQA on Tidal will sound better than FLAC 24 bit on Qobuz as I mentioned above - the example is Eminem - Music To Be Murdered By (Deluxe Edition) - Volume 1 (the newer Side B, track - Book of Rhymes).
For using Deezer links with bot, you need to find a song/album, use option to share a link to track or album, then open the shared link so it will be redirected, and then rename the link to this form for a single song (otherwise bot will return “processing” instead of ripping or even possible error):
https://www.deezer.com/en/track/XXXXXXX
(ARLs trick doesn’t work anymore) Hint: There's also something like ARL, which is a cookie's session identifier which can be shared, so everyone can log into the premium account and download FLACs with ARLs of different regions and regional locks. Might be useful for some specific tracks. ARLs are frequently shared online, though harder to find nowadays (Reddit censorship).
IRC, Deemix might use ARLs beside regular account log in process.
________________
Other sites
(not downloading directly from streaming)
A warez site allowing playing files and downloading them using the method below (the method wasn’t patched-out as on allflac and flacit).
The album ID’s are the same as on flacit, but different from allflac.
You also need to register before playing any file there (registration is free).
0. Register, log in (otherwise the audio player won’t show up)
1. Find desired album (don't press play yet!), set CD instead of mp3 quality (if there’s such)
(if you already started playing in mp3, refresh the site and set CD, otherwise it won’t work).
2. Open the Chrome Menu in the upper-right-hand corner of the browser window and select More Tools > Developer Tools>navigate to “Network”
3. Press CTRL+R if prompted
4. Play audio file
5. If it's 16/44 FLAC, go to media, sort by size, right-click on the entry and open in new tab to download (sometimes it appear after some time of playing and only in “all” instead of “media”)
6*. On some 24 bit files, go to all, play the file and sort by size. You will find an entry with increasing size with xhr type and FLAC name if it’s not shown in the media tab.
7. Recently it happened once, that the point 5. stopped working and the FLAC link is red. Now you need to go to the console and open a link with ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID in the new tab and open the site, clicking on advanced.
In case of a 32 KB/s download, get Free Download Manager, and paste the download link there, and with 2 active connections in the downloader, it will speed up to 96KB/s occasionally (properly set JDownloader also allows increasing number of connections).
Haven’t tried switching accounts to check if it will make the speeds back to normal (it wasn’t like that before).
Some albums there don't have tracks separated, but all the albums are in track 1.
If you want to physically divide the audio file -
In such case, you can search for cue sheet here: https://www.regeert.nl/cuesheet/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/dcue/ https://cuenation.com/?page=search (database of niche artists apparently) - just ask AI and paste Discogz text with titles and track times
Place it near the file, and eventually rename, and it's ready, but it's only for playing and playlist purposes. It doesn't separate the audio file physically. To cut the file losslessly you need lossless-cut https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/releases/ - it allows importing cue sheets to cut the album. Newer versions since 3.63.0 implemented re-encoding for FLAC files during the process in order to fix bad headers causing wrong bitrate or track time detection. If you want to avoid re-encoding and cut the file similarly like HxD would do, use older versions like 3.54 (MKVToolnix allows placing any file to Matroska/mka container fixing the bitrate or time issue without re-encoding).
Now if you have all the files divided you can probably use MusicBrainz (probably Foobar2000 plugin is available) to tag the files (but not the filenames - for that, you need mp3tag and tagged files to copy tags to filenames with specific masks). I know that lossless-cut might be not precise, and it may create a problem with automatic content detection in MusicBrainz, but I know that tool or similar allowed to just search for the album you specifically searched for, and not by just mark files>album detection in Foobar which may fail. So technically cutting and tagging the files should be possible, but time-consuming.
Looks like, unlike 24/48 files, all 24/96/192kHz ones are just vinyl rips taken from various torrents. If again there’s only one or two files with the whole album, originally attached with cue, you should be able to find specific cue files simply searching in Google for its specific file name with quotes (file list is below track list there). Of course, you can also cut your album manually, or even make your own cue sheet to cut the album.
Also be aware that sometimes you won’t be able to download the file, and it won’t appear as FLAC, if you do not press CTRL+R on Network before starting playing the file, otherwise you need to close and reopen the tab and press CTRL+R in Network again.
And also, such files can reset during downloading near the end (maximum size of downloaded file cannot exceed 1GB, otherwise it gets reset for some reason). To prevent it, copy the download link from your browser, and paste it to some download accelerator. Even free BitComet will do the trick since it supports HTTP multiple connection downloading. If you’re lazy, to prevent losing at least these 1GB, simply open the still downloaded file using MPC-HC and Chrome won’t reset the file size after it starts to reset the whole download (because the file cannot be deleted now), wait for the reset of the download, now just make a copy of the file and rename file extension to FLAC from temporary extension added by e.g. Chrome during downloading. Now you can stop downloading in Chrome. The downside is - the moment the file gets reset is not when it ends, meaning it’s not fully complete. But mostly. Of course, you can be lucky enough to find the original torrent with the files and simply finish downloading by verifying checksums of existing ones in P2P client (filenames must match to torrent files, simply replace them and find option to verify checksums).
Some hi-res songs don’t play, and show errors in DevTools>Console, but if you find an error with links looking like:
song_url:: //store.adamsfile.com/Store/flac.php?id=XXXXX&sid=&song=XX fake_load: false
Just copy and paste the link starting with “store” in the address, and the download will start.
~10b. https://www.flacit.com/
The same library as above, and as on allflac. The download method above was patched-out here like on allflac, but here it still returns the download token in devtools, so you can use the old downloading link scheme from allflac, and simply paste the token showed in devtools into it to still download songs:
This is a working download link obtainable in DevTools before it was patched-out:
https://dl.flacit.com//Store/flac.php?id=43816&sid=8ef1bf76167d4fb3855e45b97e695cfa&song=1
- “id” is album (https://flacit.com/album/43816)
- “sid” is obtainable when you play the file in the:
DevTools>Media>stream?token=xxx>Payload>RBM>Copy value.
Now replace both in the link above to download your track.
It should be very easy to write a Chrome extension doing that for you automatically.
Also it doesn’t skip to the next track after 30 seconds, so if it also gets patched-out, there might be a way to download the song from browser cache.
It has the same library taken from adamfile, and album IDs are the same, but the search here works much better, so obtain ID from here if necessary and use on adamfile.
Some 24-bit/hi-res albums previously previewing on allflac doesn’t work here.
10a) allflac.com
The old download method stopped working, but the same workaround as above works.
The old links generated before the changes on the site still work, so changing currently obtained links to the old scheme works, the same payload method works, and also by pasting fragments of the new link into the old working link scheme.
The exemplary old working link obtained on the site (working at least when logged in, or maybe bound to specific account):
https://dl.allflac.com/Store/flac.php?id=12480&sid=066d8e9842a35d9c6b33a0a8f4c98420&song=1
The new non-working link obtained with the method above for the same file:
Just copy “1791111194782.UeU2NEj4afGtRoEhcnYz0toHAEG55gy7FDUVVsYe7WI” from above link in place of sid:
Or the same is obtainable if you copy it from the payloads option when you highlight “1?t=xxxx” with media type content being downloaded when you start playing it on the site when CD quality is chosen and the DevTools window opened. The sids look different now, but work. Who knows, maybe anything written there would work.
They don’t pay royalties to the artist and its labels, as I spoke with at least one. They don’t keep up with the content with the streaming services, but they share stuff also not available on streaming services, even including vinyl rips as hi-res ones. Most if not all the files on the site are CD rips taken from around the net and not from any labels, and file names of downloaded files clearly point out to scene releases (and sometimes they share logs from rippers in plain text, so you could search for the specific releases elsewhere). And it’s a precious source of rips while many of the older albums on streaming were altered, or are shared from re-editions (sometimes slightly different song lengths, so most likely reencodes, sometimes also different masters).
Since the patch, it looks like they introduced some form of streaming system in the player, along with more strict Cloudflare timeouts forcing you refreshing the site more frequently if the player shows 00:00 (sometimes doesn’t even work stable, esp. with big files).
Optionally, there might be also some other method to save the stream from a fully played song, because the streamed content now is still downloaded to your browser (and I doubt it’s encrypted), it’s still one stream (so probably nothing complicated like M3U8), full song length is still being shown, but straight-up playing of the file changes into another song after the first 30 seconds. So there might still be a way to send some requests to the site to play outside this boundary.
But just be aware that Cloudflare timeouts you after some short period of time, and that’s also the cause of why the player doesn’t respond at times, and shows always 00:00 - you need to refresh the site and go through Cloudflare check.
11. http://flacmusicfinder.com/
But it has a smaller library than the above.
*. Other FLAC sites are listed also here
12. Soulseek - but it’s simply a P2P based client, so carefully with that, and better use VPN (good one at best). GUI - Nicotine+ and Seeker working on Android
13. Rutracker (the same advice as above)
14. Chomikuj.pl (use their search engine, eventually Yandex, Duckduckgo, Bing) - free 50MB per week for unlimited amounts of accounts, free transfer for points from files uploaded or shared from other people’s profiles. People upload there separate tracks on loose as well, but they frequently get taken down, so search for rather full album titles in archives rather than single files. Mp3 files and those files which allow preview, can be downloaded for free with JDownloader, but occasionally some of such files might not work in JDownloader, and they’ll have to be downloaded manually.
16. https://dab.yeet.su (requires free account creation)
17. Simply search for the track on Google, or even better - Yandex, Duckduckgo, eventually Bing, because Google frequently blacklists some sites or search entries. Also, your specific provider may cut connection to some sites, so you'll be forced to use VPN in those cases when a search engine shows up a result from a site you cannot open.
18. Redtopia archives on torrent sites

Outdated/closed/defunct
0) 0) https://tidal.qqdl.site - TIDAL (redirects to Lucida; as for April 2026 either all downloads were failing or corrupting files in the middle after download occurred - downloading in hi-res was introduced at some point - if it occurs in hi-res, maybe change to CD quality in settings or try on PC instead of mobile; some smartphones generally run out of memory running the site, it’s a a new site by Lucida stuff)
0) https://tidal.squid.wtf/ - TIDAL
0) us.deezer.squid.wtf | (out of order for now, Deezer only; search didn’t respond before) eu.deezer.squid.wtf/ (also offline) - works for queries, not URLs, single songs or albums, if you don’t check the “Save songs on download” (supported on Chrome) you need to press download button manually after ripping finishes (so once you’re notified), sometimes ripping can be progressing very slow, but consequently when you zoom the progress bar. Also, sometimes downloading in your browser might get interrupted in the middle (press resume in your browser download queue if necessary).
Some users (e.g. French) are unable to reach the site (e.g. 403 error) then use VPN.
0) https://us.qobuz.squid.wtf/ (went offline) | https://eu.qobuz.squid.wtf/ (back offline; Qobuz only) - -||- It can happen that using search on Qobuz won’t give you the desired results, while the search in the link will be successful.
0) https://qqdl.site/ - Qobuz (currently redirects to TIDAL), some smartphones might run out of memory running this, a new site by Lucida stuff, previously redirected to doubledouble.top
0) https://deezmate.com - Deezer - mp3 or FLACs, working with links
0) https://free-mp3-download.net (Deezer, FLAC, separate songs downloading)
Here you can find (all?) mp3/flac files from Deezer. If the site doesn't work for you, use VPN. If the site doesn't search, mark "use our VPN". Single files download and captcha. No tags for track numbers and file names, FLAC/MP3 16 bit only.
- If you see an error “file not found on this server” don't refresh, but go back and click download again.
- From time to time it happened that it didn’t show up the FLAC option, and that it's “unavailable”, and sometimes it can show up after some period of time. The site started to have some problems, but it was fixed already.
-Open every found track in a new tab, as back button won't allow you to see search results you looked for
1 b) (doesn’t work anymore for 07.02.24)
Discord server with sharing bot (albums and songs)
https://discord.gg/MmE4JnUVA
-||-
https://discord.gg/2HjATw6JF
(another invite link valid till 12.11.13; needs to be renewed every month, probably current invitations will be on Divolt server here when the above will expire)
Later, they required writing to the bot via DM to access the welcome channel with requests. Once I couldn't access the channel, and I needed to update Discord or wait 10-15 minutes, so the input form appeared.
To download, in welcome channel, paste:
$dl [link to the song or album on streaming service without brackets]
More detailed instruction of usage below.
(Defunct)
2) https://slavart.gamesdrive.net/tracks
(sometimes used to work, but not too often)
As of June 2023-March 2024 it is defunct, and throws: “There was an error processing your request!” on track download attempt, or in the past it was loading forever and nothing happens on multiple tries, before it worked after download button will stop being gray, and it’s green again, so you should click it and download may start shortly, but it stopped, lately it was working, you only needed to wait a bit.
Similar search engine for FLACs. Files are sourced from Qobuz (including hi-res when available). Songs listed double are sometimes in higher bit depth/resolution (different versions of the same track).
If you want to know what is the version you download, go to https://play.qobuz.com/ share track from there, and use download bots.
1 b) Join their Divolt server directly by this link (if the above stopped working):
https://divolt.xyz/invite/Qxxstb7Q (currently the bot don’t allow posting, containing only Discord invite, check it again later for valid link if necessary)
Free registration required.
If this Divolt server is also down, go here:
https://slavart.gamesdrive.net/ (defunct)
to get a valid Divolt invite link (it might have changed). But it had the old link for the long time later.
