Visits to music piracy websites went up more than 13 percent last year, a new report says. The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.

Songs and albums that I’ve listened to for years have disappeared from my Apple Music subscription. I swapped completely to a paid service and never looked back until they removed things I could listen to last month.

If I cannot buy on Bandcamp or Boomkat or directly from the artist then I sail the high seas, proudly.

I refuse to stream.

I want to counter that buying individual songs and albums would get too expensive compared to streaming, but then I realized I've been listening to the same set of playlists in the past few years and the total cost of streaming subscription in those period is probably more than enough to buy those songs.

Heh. I never thought about it this way. I just need to finish downloading my Spotify playlists I guess, then plexamp l the way

My current favorites playlist, accumulated over 15+ years, is 4,235 songs. I don't think I can afford to buy that.

Anyone have a private tracker invite they’d share with me? Lidarr is the only arr I haven’t set up yet. Wouldn’t mind upgrading my library which I haven’t looked at since college.

No one will give you one. Music trackers are more difficult than average to get into and harder than most to maintain ratio. I wouldn't risk my account on it.

You can give this script a go though to download from Dezeer or Tidal from Lidarr

Where is the scene to at least start being considered for private trackers?

I don't understand how the scene is supposed to stay alive when it's this exclusive. You have to be in a chat from a forum where you've spent years just to get the trackers, let alone do anything for the group other than seed.

sure I recommend either Oink or What.cd, whichever you prefer.
