How does /mu/ actually listen to music these days?I remember when everything was MediaFire/4shared links before Spotify took over the world.I've been using Apple Music for years, but increasingly it feels absurd paying every month to rent a music collection that disappears the second I stop paying.Do you guys still torrent/use Soulseek? Buy stuff off Bandcamp? CDs? Keep a massive local library? Or has everyone here surrendered to streaming?Considering going back to hoarding MP3s like it's 2009.
>>131674387>hoarding MP3s yes, leech on slsk
>>131674387Soulseek
>>131674387Spotidownloader ripping things that aren't downloadable anywhere and putting them in my Soulseek folderIf everyone did this with just a few albums, the whole of music history would be preserved

>>131674387>hoarding MP3s like it's 2009there is no other way
>>131674387just moved to slskd from soulseek because fuck leechers. sharing 5tb+ mostly music but also some books movies and comics/manga, including some of my own rips/scans. occasionally purchase from bandcamp.
>>131674387I use Spotify like every normal person.
>>131674555should also mention that I use spotify for free with spicetify for playlists. my local collection is mostly for listening to full albums. I don't keep stuff if I only like a few tracks.
soulseek :) alive as ever, i burn cds of my favourite albums to make sure i age with them
>>131674387>I remember when everything was MediaFire/4shared links before Spotify took over the world.everything is still MediaFire/4shared links, you just don't know where to look
most mega links are dead but a lot of mediafire links in the 4chan archive still work
Forced to use spotify on my phone cause i get it for free and I don't have enough storage to use local files but on my computer I use rhythmbox which came preinstalled with my os and files from soulseek I like it way better than the spotify app for pc its extremely laggy
YouTube has more music by volume than anywhere else
>>131675365I just listen to all my music on youtube nowadays to be honest, it's easier to just have all my music and subscriptions in one place
>>131674387Bandcamp + Soulseek. I don't torrent much music these days.>Considering going back to hoarding MP3s like it's 2009.If you're fine with MP3, just use Vorbis or Opus.>>131674555Thank you for your service.>>131674867>>131675365This. For YouTube uploads, I just throw them in a semi-sorted folder titled "youtube rips". Making the distinction keeps me sane.
>>131674414Fippy bippy
>>131674387youtube
as a 135 iq person that loves music i have youtube premium
>>131674387>Keep a massive local library?this one
>>131674432I recall reading about an absolutely massive archive of music ripped from Spotify that is on Anna's Archive or something like that.>>131674842Bullshit. It's nothing like the good old days circa 2005-2015.
>>131674387SoundCloud app on xbox. Downside is a lot of songs from important artists aren't available. Upside is it doesn't have any advertisements between songs like desktop and mobile versions which is surprisingly sweethttps://on.soundcloud.com/YKn5AuFQtEEM4uAKWX
>>131676278there is nothing more beautiful than having your own carefully curated music library, personalized with high resolution artwork and optimal hand-selected masterings of albums, and even more so if you have them on physical format too. streamcucks carefully and meticulously tongue my anus.
>listening to music for at least seventeen years>still streaming>doesn’t have a job and a physical music collection by nowI suppose you also helped drive ad revenue to Pitchfork and Fantano and are only coming back to /mu/ because Reddit disallows explicit discussion of piracy. You are cattle.

>>131674387Media library stored locally on my PC with a couple hundred vinyl and another couple hundred CD's.
>>131674387I use YouTube Music Morphe. It's a hack that unlocks YouTube Music Premium for free. But I also have an mp3 library for stuff that I know I like.
>>131676474>I earned my cuck pod and pile of cuck plastic to adorn it's walls for when other cucks come over so they can learn all about my interesting cuck personalityGet real
>>131674387private torrent trackers, soulseek as a backupyoutube when I'm outside but I'll never pay for it. I'll put a few albums on my phone's hard drive too if it's something not on youtube
download with soulseek or bandcamp and listen with foobar
>>131676450streamcucks don't do anything carefully or meticulously
>>131674387Listen to an album first time on Youtube.Screenshot any songs I like, download them using Soulseek/Deemix. Add them on my phone so I never have to use data when I'm out and use vlc for when I'm on the pc
