Does anyone know how I can legally convert a copyrighted song into an MP3 file?
>Aquire ffmpeg legally for the low low price of $0>Aquire song legally in non mp3 format>ffmpeg -i [song_original_format] codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 192k output.mp3The direct way. Other programs are usally just ffmpeg+LAME frontends.
>>1576728>Other programs are usally just ffmpeg+LAME frontends.I suggest Foobar2000. It plays the mp3s in addition to stuff like converting files
>>1576728>192k320k
>>1576732Unnecessary (already transparent) but mp3s are so small anyway, so why not.
>>1576732No>How the mp3 cycle works1) You download a mp3 2) You reencode the mp3 and burn it to CD 3) You rip it again @128kbps4) You share your new mp3 on the internet 5) Loop back to 1)
>>1576726You want OLD software for this stuff (early 2000's), before the total enshittification of the internet and apps:WinampfreacExact Audio Copy (EAC)CDexAudiograbberEasy CD-DA ExtractordBpowerAMP Music Converter / CD RipperdBpowerAMP Music Converter / CD RipperFreeRIPMusicMatch Jukebox RazorLAMEFind the earliest versions of any of those in archives and abandonware sites, and adjust compatibility setting in exe if needed.
>>1576818latest version of EAC and latest version of LAME will do a better job
>>1576818>WinampThat's ass if you have a 1080p (or *gasp* higher rez) monitor, and newer builds don't make it better. Foobar2000 was already mentioned. Foobar2000 was always better than Winamp, it has current support and the latest version is not enshittified at all.
