Is there a better place than TPB or 1337x for getting music?
#1
Been a while since I've tried accumulating my own collection as I use a lot of spotify, but there are albums not on there I'm trying to source, and it seems with demand being lower of music, there's a lot less showing up in the places I'd think to look.

Where do you guys use?

Though it may seem counter-intuitive, I use YouTube a lot.  You can get full albums, mixes and singles on all kinds of music.  I'm pretty impressed by much is available.

There are many YT downloaders out there, many available as browser add-ons.  I usually set my downloads to 360kbps since I'm usually not that concerned about the visual part of the file, but more and more files are becoming available in higher bitrates.

Believe it or not, I use the library.

They have an endless collection of albums that I borrow to rip the tracks and then return.

Try it sometime.

EDIT: The only things they don't have are discographies.

I use rutracker and the Soulseek network with the Nicotine+ client. I prefer using rutracker in most cases because they have full quality FLACs with log files a lot more often and torrents are faster, but Soulseek is still really good on its own.

Definitely rutracker.

Need more, work out an invite to a private site such as orpheus or red.

If you find yourself on a private ship, pillage that vessel and bring back some booty!

Make tpb better!
