DoubleDouble

# How does this work?

For the nerds, this is essentially a wrapper of downloader programs like yt-dlp, OrpheusDL, and others with accounts pre-added. See here for more info.

For the non-nerds, it streams music to a file rather than a person from these services and gives you said file, no BS.

# Why is it down so much?

This site is ran by volunteers for pretty much nothing other than a love for music and the community. Expecting 100% uptime from a service provided for free is a bit silly. If you want to see better uptime, consider donating.

This also allows better versions of DoubleDouble to come out faster, including more supported sites.

# When is [insert service] being added?

Don't see something you want? Tell us!

Planned to be added at some point:

• Localized music sites like KKBOX (implemented already), potentially - No ETA yet, if at all

Never being added:

• Bandcamp - Primarily used by indie artists, support them :)
• YouTube Music - Accounts are too instable, might come back at some point

# When is the rewrite coming out?

We're planning on getting a public beta out sometime this month. We only need to finish a few more things. Stay tuned to the discussion group!

# Are you OSS/FLOSS?

At the moment, no. I plan to eventually be, but my code is incredibly messy and I'm not ready for it to see the light of day.

Some aspects of my codebase, such as OrpheusDL (for Tidal, Qobuz, Napster, Deezer, Amazon Music and Apple Music [both are closed source]), yt-dlp for Soundcloud, and librespot are currently open.

# Why do you have ads up?

As much as I hate advertising, these servers aren't cheap to run. I also have to either pay for the premium accounts for each service or dig through forums looking for them.

I made sure the ads weren't invasive. No pop-ups. No sound or lewd ads. Just picture ads. Hence why I ask nicely, please disable your adblocker <3

# Where are you hosted?

# Why is there a queue now for Apple Music?

The site when under a lot of requests are going at once tend to slow the site down for everyone else. We plan on getting multiple download servers at once in the rewrite, but for now this is all we can do.

Plus, this keeps our accounts running for as long as possible.

# What should I do about region locked music?

I know this sucks to hear but not much, really. I plan on rolling out multiple-region support, but at the moment, we try our best to stick to US-based accounts whenever possible. UK-exclusive, India-exclusive, or wherever-you-live-that's-not-the-US-exclusive music likely won't work at the moment.

Consider looking at Songwhip to find songs in a compatible service and region, you might get lucky there :)

Also consider joining the Telegram discussion group, some people have accounts I don't and are willing to pitch in.

Note: Amazon Music supports all available regions. Please report any region-related issues in the discussion group.

# Why are Apple Music files .m4a and not .alac?

It's still lossless! No need to worry. It's ALAC, just in an M4A container.

# FakinTheFunk says your file is fake!

We're kind of a weird case. We provide 100% real decrypted files from the services you request from. (Spotify comes from Spotify, etc.)

All we do in the downloading process is add metadata to the files.

# Do you have an API?

No, we do not have a public, nor private/paid API. This is not an invitation to bot our website.

We already had to implement a CAPTCHA. Please, please, please stop ruining the site for other people by abusing it.
