WTF happened to Droidsound-E? by JFD62780 at 6:46 PM EDT on August 17, 2021

In my daily check on the Github for a new release, I find the software, just disappeared. (The readme had the links to the builds)

Upon further research, the reason (which has also since disappeared) only says 'copyleft infringement and removal of software', or something like that.

I hope that don't mean what I sadly think it means. x.x

???
I googled 'droidsound-e', and in the github page, they said 'we're moved here!' with new page link.

Cool, continue to use and support the walking GPL violation. How about using ZXTune or Modizer instead?

@kode54, It's not that we want to, for me, there are some formats that droidsound supports that zxtune sadly doesn't. Like for me, droidsound supporting all of these pluss with things like nsfplay and nezplugpluss pluss, feels like winamp for chiptune. I joaked one time in the github issues and asked him if he could rename droidsound E to droidamp LOL.

DroidSound-E's main site (droidsound-e.web.app) is gone! What could it mean? I hope the creator won't get away...

Mirror for last version is on my GitHub at https://github.com/DevanWolf/Droidsound/releases/download/2.1.312/droidsounde2_1_312_64bit.apk

If you still have droidsounde2_1_312_32bit.apk downloaded on your computer after droidsound-e.web.app takedown, please share it.

Uh oh! You forgot to set the file's General access (Ctrl+Alt+A) to Anyone with the link/Public ! Please fix it now then I can download it.

GPL Violation by DeadAwake at 3:58 PM EDT on September 28, 2026

I'm with kode54. This project is dead for a reason. Its corpse will only rot as time goes on—which is ironic, as the contract it refused to uphold is the very thing that could have prevented this.

Access granted by Katsur at 3:20 AM EDT on September 29, 2026

I opened it.

by Devan Wolf at 3:32 AM EDT on September 29, 2026

That's the 64-bit version which I already downloaded. I want the 32-bit version.

by Katsur at 11:09 AM EDT on October 12, 2026

Dammit, I couldn't download the 32-bit one :(

Hi,

Here is a 7-Zip archive containing Droidsound-E v2.1.311 and v2.1.312. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are included:

https://sprend.com/en/download?C=9aa1210bf0864b718ce24cd518169114

The download expires on 2026-10-26 at 08:20 PM (max 5 download attempts).

It's a shame that the Droidsound-E site is down. Has anyone been in contact with the author? I hope all issues can be solved. If the author is unable or unwilling to continue, I hope someone else can take over the development of the program.
