hi! yeah during that time i was having issues with the spotify api, but it should be working more reliably now. if you run into anything feel free to reach out via the feedback form on the site.

the self-hosted version has been improved a lot recently — works out of the box with zero config now. flac requires deezer or tidal credentials for now, but i'm working on a proxy solution so self-hosters can get lossless without needing their own subscriptions.


okay, i'm glad it worked! if you have any problems you can make report it through the feedback form on the site <3


hi! i'm so sorry for the inconvenience. which album/song? i'm happy to look into it. you can also report it through the feedback form on the site.


thank you <3


youtube links actually work; yoink resolves the song and pulls audio from the best available source (same as spotify links) but its a bit less reliable for matching since it depends on song.link to identify the track, but it should work for most things! <3


op here, happy to chat about this, feel free to reach out (me@yoinkify.com)


thank you, i appreciate it.

regarding the network error, i do apologize for that. for now i've implemented a better retry mechanism but i'm still working on making it even better - more specifically a b better ui for for it

thanks again <3


lmao it's just tidal > deezer > yt

i've added an update comment to this post


thank you <3


hi, op here. since this was posted i've added yt-dlp as a fallback, so the self hosted version works straight out of the box with zero config now; just docker compose up -d. in addition to that, i've also addressed a lot of the issues mentioned here, thank you <3. for those curious audio sources are is tidal > deezer > youtube

i've also made a feedback form for an easier way to report bugs and feature recommendations!
