Some Free Audio, If You Want It
Sep. 30th, 2025 10:50 pmI have been messing around with the Innioasis y1 and while it's definitely got bugs I have been enjoying using it and have been generally filling it with lots of stuff. So, instead of keeping everything to myself, I'm sharing these:
Listen Notes is one of the few podcast streaming websites I've been able to find that still has an audio download link on every podcast and does not take you to an app (Podbean does this for most but not some -- I have not found any feeds that do not link to actual mp3 files on Listen Notes yet). So, if you're using an mp3 player without apps, this is a good choice to download your podcasts from. I generally use Swinsian (not free) to clean up the metadata before I upload it but that's definitely not strictly necessary.
The Current radio station allows free downloads of The Song Of The Day going back five days. A long time ago iTunes used to have this feature, where they had a free to download song every day, so this is similar. The Current is an alternative station but they're pretty eclectic so it's worth checking out even if alternative specifically isn't your jam.
And a pay-what-you-want album, Blank Banshee 0 by Blank Banshee, which has been in my heavy rotation for me for a while, though may partly be because it comes up early in the album listing, haha. It's considered pretty foundational vaporwave with other influences. I had the surreal experience a few nights ago listening to a song on the radio that was very clearly sampled in here.
