What else is everyone using to get music? Other than Soulseek.

      Can I trust Deezer to not fuck it up? There were reports a while back that when checked in a spectrogram (or something) that Deezer was packaging fake FLACs by upsampling some other codec

    Usenet. Like a little over $100 a year for a news host and an indexer or two and you get quality music downloads of basically anything, depending on your indexer. Once you’ve got most of what you want, just stop paying and you still have your music or TV or w/e you download, and there’s no real need to worry about a VPN.

        Word. This seems to make my ARR stack easier. I’ll probably get some torrents running before too long but for building a library, I’m sticking with Usenet. Then I’ll go back to torrents and things like soulseek for more obscure or individual things
