Download straight from the source like Deezer so you know your file is legit and not a user generated file who re-encodes a 128kbps mp3 to flac.
It only lets me search from Spotify. I tried manually selecting Deezer, but it still shows just Spotify.
Just make a free account on Deezer, get the link of the song or album and paste it on the the doubletop website.
you can also search for the song on a search engine and just type deezer at the end of it, then get the link that way.
Such a great tool, but I would love to just download in MP3 320, as FLAC is overkill for a music collection, and eats storage for breakfast :-( Is there something similar for MP3 320?
Yes, get the Spotify link of a song, playlist or album. Then go to the options of doubledouble top, choose for MP3 320kpbs in the Spotify section.
Thanks for the advice, sometimes it is so freaking obvious :D
If you learn how an encoder works you can compress the FLAC into whatever format you prefer yourself. I highly recommend 256kbps AAC using Apple's encoder (specifically that encoder, other AAC encoders are much worse) but you can also do VBR MP3 in any bitrate you want. Plus, if you keep the FLACs in archive, you can re-compress them later to a better format if one is developed.
Hey, thank you for the advice. I'm aware of the function of an encoder, and use ffmpeg to re-encode the files from .flac to .mp3. But I was looking for a “more comfortable” way.
