hey can everyone do me a favor and put in the tags why they chose their name? even if you don't go by a chosen name irl, you can put why you chose your online name.

#foxx bright is from an old minecraft gamer tag and i liked it so much that it stuck #because foxes are the best and I needed a boost emotionally so I tacked on bright #bright is such a good descriptor like to a star or a scientist so why not make it describe me?

“bits to use in everyday conversations”

Mmmm I wanna give lil fun facts about my thingy thing without posting a related doodleeeee........ I think I will make a tag for it. Because I wanna. #Steppin sounds right for it

#woooooo #I love my little guys!!!#I wanna talk about them and their world all the time!!!#hence doing this!!#I hope it won't be annoying!!!

Found a whole rat snake shedding. Very cool. I've never seen one in one piece before

#it looked like it came out the bottom instead of through the head which was very weird #unfortunately I dont have a pic of the underside to show what I mean :/#and I can't because it has since been destroyed in the effort to see if it was actually just skin and not a shrivled up snake >:/#not Step by Step #snake #rat snake #snake skin

Sketches from my travel sketch pad

#Gonna start putting my lil fun facts at the top of the tags from here on out #so anyways •°•☆Fun Facts☆°•°#Finnick and Enrio are Asexuals. En is questioning his attraction and Finn is biromantic #As judged by the picture #but Finn has a very clear type which is white haired boys with fangs and/or tails #(they think the combo of features looks neat and kinda want fangs too)#and women that could easily beat them (be it physically or mentally)#but En's attraction is leaning more towards leadership and confidence which makes sense since he's royalty #moving on #Enrio is very skilled at playing the violin. It's a secret hobby of his but he's gonna try being more open with it on the road #he also composes and writes both songs and poetry #(and would rather die than let anyone see his work. It's not that any of it is bad but rather very personal)#(also a good portion of that poetry he wrote growing up was about desserts and he thinks it's embarrassing)#Luc is younger in that last one! I wanna place it before he got his bounty hunter's certification? Near that? Somewhere #it was around then that he was starting to get the hang of traveling #he left home at 14 and got his bounty hunter thing at 20 soooo maybe he's 19 or 20 in this?#Step by Step #Finnick #Enrio #Lucano #pencil sketch #oc art

Oh look a doodle of Finn that I did a while back. Ignore the corner cat, couldn't crop it out

For anyone who can't read my terrible handwriting, it says: Talking about all the things they saw today and weird hypotheticals

Spotify Premium ad: “Imagine playing music without interruptions! Infinite skipping! Replay the song you want! And even do it offline? No ads! Whatever songs you want! For a small monthly payme-” Me: *nods, turns off Spotify and turns on my MP3 player and does all the things they offer, but for free and with songs they don’t even have*

jimtheviking

For those of you who might not know how to do any of this:

To convert CD audio into mp3s, you just follow the steps here

To play mp3 files, you download an mp3 player like Winamp here and away you go

On mobile? There are plenty of free mp3 players for your phone available, too, so check them out

You don’t need to be tethered to an online streaming service for your music. Be free.

You can also rip audio files from youtube and find files all over the internet. It is far easier to come across great and lesser known music if you dont limit yourself to spotify.

n7punk

Here’s a tutorial on how to get the music and playlists you like with unlimited listening/downloads. This is a free way to do it that I believe is a balance between cost, time, and pros & cons:

If you have the CDs, it will be easier to rip them. Most music managers include this feature and you will have all the track information loaded into the file. There are also pirate websites where you can download entire albums with their metadata attached, but there could be risks associated (I would worry more about viruses than lawsuits these days, though). Deciding a method for acquiring music is a balance of the required time, the alternative costs, and other pros/cons like supporting the artist or taking the risk of pirating sites.

1. Find the song on Youtube. YT has pretty much every song at this point, usually in comparable quality to what you would get on a streaming service.

This is great if you already listen to music on Youtube, but there might be a better method for going direct from Spotify, though this will work either way. The main downside to this method is that official music (and even lyric) videos sometimes have non-music portions so you might have to listen to the whole thing to be sure. SponsorBlock will highlight non-music sections for most artists, so if you have it installed you can tell at a glance if this is the case.

2. Download the audio from YT. There are many ways to download YT videos completely for free. It’s probably against the YT terms of service, but you’re not going to get sued.

I like y2mate for downloading YT videos (or their audio in mp3s) because it’s a simple, ad-free website. You just paste in the URL for the video you want to download. Sometimes it’s laggy and you have to come back later, but usually after a few moments the video loads, you select your download quality (the highest), and then save it. For easy file management, download everything in folders for the Artist, and then sub folders for the Album, and name the MP3 file the “song name”.mp3.

3. Upload to your music player/manager of choice. The file will currently be lacking metadata (Artist, Album, track number, etc) and will be added to the library as a song with its title set as the file name minus its .mp3 extension. Various music players/managers have different ways to add metadata (usually accessed by right-clicking the song) with varying ease.

iTunes is free and and logical if you have an iPhone, but limited in its capabilities. I do all my management/listening in MusicBee (free for Windows) because of its playlist and management features, as well as having a very customizable interface. You can set it to scan the folders you download music to so it will automatically load things into your library, or do so manually. Once loaded into MusicBee, you can batch edit an entire album’s metadata at once easily with Auto-Tagging. Auto-Tag can fetch the details from the internet and fill in artist, tracks, album artwork, etc and save that information to the mp3 file. You can edit this manually if needed too. Drag and drop the edited songs to any other player you may want to add them to so it can find the files.

4. Now you can use the player of your choice to listen endlessly, form playlists, etc. Some free music managers also have music discovery/recommendation features for expanding your collection.

MusicBee allows you to create playlists with folders, subfolders, and dynamic features. You can export these playlists for cross-platform play on other computers with MusicBee installed. I think the playlist features on MusicBee are better than what is on streaming services. You can create an auto-playlist of your recently-added music so you can easily find the ones that are new and might need need editing, adding to other playlists, etc. I have custom tags for music by LGBT artists, sapphic love songs, and more. I also drag-and-drop these playlists directly into iTunes so I have them on my phone too (you can do this to make a new playlist or just edit/add songs to a current one).

There are many music managers/players, including cross-platform ones with streaming, though they usually have fees for that feature. Because you aren’t streaming the music and rather storing it, you’ll need space on each device you want to play the music on, but memory is cheap these days.

You can buy a 2TB external harddrive for less than Spotify or Youtube Premium costs for six months, so having to store the songs isn’t much of a downside. Plus, the song will never “leave the service”, you can listen to it offline, etc.

I do encourage people to pay for art, especially from small, independent artists. You have to pay for art if you want to keep it alive, but there is debate over if streaming services are really “paying the artist”. Alternatives include buying and ripping CDs, purchasing merch or tour tickets (where artists make a lot of their money), etc to support them with something other than streaming views.

ID. a tweet from Don Hughes @/getfiscal dated Feb 18 21. it reads, “Started imagining paying for Spotify for the next thirty or so years and got a bit dizzy, cancelled a bunch of subscriptions, installed Linux on my computer and then pulled out my old CDs to rip. Going caveman.” End ID.

Seconding MusicBee! Also, you can use a library subscription to access Freegal, which allows (depending on your library system) up to five free downloads a week. Completely free, actually legal, yours to keep, no DRM or any crap like that.

For indie producers, always check if they have something like Bandcamp! Bandcamp lets you download as well, and has significantly higher royalties going to the actual artists (Spotify pays them… very little).

fluffmugger

Jsyk, winamp rips cds natively. You can set whatever bitrate you like. Been doing *that* since last century.

Don’t forget that you can borrow CD’s from your local library! Borrow, rip, repeat ad infinitum!

jughead-is-canonically-aroace

for playing mp3s on android - musicolet, very customizable, bajillions of options, and you can edit the metadata in-app including album art and lyric files

on firefox - there’s a youtube video downloader add-on that lets you do it from page, though only as video - but most video players have an export-as-audio option

benevolentwanderer

If you have installation privileges, I would strongly suggest Mediahuman’s audio downloader which, in addition to scraping youtube audio can also capture from a variety of other sites, is highly configurable, does not rely on a website provider choosing not to become malware, AND downloads/converts the audio in around the amount of time it would take that video to load?

For another huge collection of free tools, I recommend exploring FMHY. They even have a beginner's guide for folk new to this stuff. It's an amazing resource to add to anyone's arsenal

Inhaled and spent a minute coughing out a gnat, saw the chonkiest bumblebee, and saw the shed skin of a ratsnake. Today was alright

#Step by Step #oc art #Finnick #Enrio #Lucano #sketch dump #pencil sketch #The guy who Enrio is being angy at is named Edge #Edge Mackan is the second son of the power throuple that heads all the stuff around morph marks #(which I'll get to explaining someday)#He's also the guy Finn has an unnamed bout with #Which makes Enrio jealous because “hey that's MY Fissel” and he's a protective little attention whore #Also he just straight up doesn't like Edge's brother but that's for another time #Falling Luc was a fun pose! I never finished it how I wanted. Maybe I'll draw it properly one day?#Enrio being spooked by a bug came of an idea I had for Luc teaching the duo how to scrounge up bait for fishing #The mouth is Enrio's. Luc has fangs too but they'd be a little bigger since Meoross fangs are always bigger than Anver fangs #The torso is Luc's. I just wanted to try and feel out how jacked he'd be
