Do you still (illegally) download music despite streaming services being extremely cheap? Why?
I do. I get a thrill out of it. Plus actually "owning" the stuff and playing them on players that are actually better than Sporify and so on feels good.

Won't divulge how I do it though.
>>
I haven't paid for music since the year of our lord 2001.
>>
I purchase all of the music to which I listen.
>>
i use a large space ipod and have like 30k+ songs on it so yeah I like not having to give a fuck about spotify, i've never used it but I know for a fact that multiple things I listen to aren't on there. I've almost filled my first ipod and I actually have 2 which both had the same library but now I'm thinking on having one ipod have 1 library versus another and I think that sounds like it could be kinda fun. God bless slsk
>>
when i seed torrents i feel like Jesus when he multiplied the loaves and the fishes
>>
i pay for spotify and use slsk for anything that isn't on spotify
>>
>>130796506
I don't like the idea of music that I forget after listening, so to find it again, I need to scroll through my list with likes
>>
>>130796506
cause the music i want to listen to isn't available on streaming services
>>
>>130797039
like what?
>>
>>130796506
>actually "owning" the stuff
Yea okay lemme take a magnet to your pc and see whats what
>>
>>130796506
Yes, I do.
>despite streaming services being extremely cheap
Still too expensive for a poorfag like me.

Also,
>>130797039
somewhat this. There's a lot of music I like that is not on streaming services.
>>
I use foobar2000 32bits with the 2SF Decoder (foo_input_vio2sf) to listen to some Nintendo DS sountracks.

I use foobar to convert some downloaded audio files in FLAC format to OPUS so It sounds well without taking much space.

I also use YT-DLP to download songs on youtube that aren't available to download anywhere else. I use this command to download in opus 128k (highest quality audio on youtube) and keep the thumbnail:
yt-dlp -f bestaudio[acodec=opus] --remux-video opus --embed-metadata --embed-thumbnail <URL>

Fuck them subscription services, fuck internet connection. I want my files, with my encoders, on my players, with my metadata, on my drives, on my terms.

>>130796506
streaming doesn’t pay artists so idk what youre complaining for
>>130797205
like bootlegs or unreleased material
>>
>>130796506
please correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't spotify very easy to jailbreak
>>
>>130796506
>Won't divulge how I do it though

There are explanations on how to pirate in the sticky pinned to the top of the board lmao
>>
>>130800012
the jailbroken and cracked apks of spotify aren't identical to premium and usually only work for a couple of days
>>
>>130796506
all of the music i download is b& from streaming services
>>
>>130798093
>actually "owning" a guitar
Yea okay lemme just take a router to your guitar and see whats what
>actually "owning" a painting
Yea okay lemme just take a hacksaw to your painting and see whats what
>actually "owning" a car
Yea okay lemme just put some TNT in your engine and see whats what
>actually "owning" a home
Yea okay lemme just take some gasoline and matches to your home and see whats what
>>
Yeah, licensing stuff that stops me from being able to listen to good music legally anyway. Lots of acts seem to not care about my region or think anyone here would be listening to them
>>
>>130796506
Yes
Because a lot of extreme metal and hardcore punk I listen to isn't on streaming, my data runs out regularly and I like to have offline copies of everything
