Cheating on Redacted (formerly PTH/Passtheheadphones)

**JohnareyouOK** · 07.12.20, 09:06

I'm recently considering to switch from spotify to youtube music since it allows to upload my own music collection (and audiobook!), turning it into a personal one-stop Online Piracy Music Center! 100,000 max songs and 128Kbps is totally enough to common use.

Since you already have a such large music library you plan on uploading, how about self-hosting? Even a "bad" upload speed is good enough for medium-bitrate MP3 streaming, and you'll be the captain of your own ship: no limits, quotas, takedowns or tracking.

I don't know any modern solutions I can recommend, but back in the day we had Vibe Streamer (which in hindsight was ahead of its time).

and
https://github.com/airsonic/airsonic
iirc there were more but they aren't just coming to my mind. and the best solution for hosting would obiviously be a pi4 with good ram and 1tb hdd should be enough for more then 100k cd flacs and vinyls

Airsonic looks very good, and definitely worth a try.

Anyone cheating on Red nowdays? Or even ghostleeching?

**Bewegter** · 07.05.24, 23:12

why yall trying to cheat? A friend just used scene releases and ripped from deezer himself to upload and gain ratio this way. Is it really so hard and unfair how the tracker works?

V2 rips are trumpable by a V0 of the same release, and Deezer rips are well taken care of by a small army using automation and gigabit seedboxes, so it's like trying to beat the Dream Team.

With that said, this unfairness isn't a problem unless you want to access the invite forums or download more than your required ratio allows, in which case it is.
