how do you download music now?

evil wasabi · Mar 19, 2019

Please no limewire, napster etc. I am looking for whatever the successor to torrent is, as my go-to demonoid is gone.

famicommander · Mar 19, 2019

I don't. I mostly use Spotify but every now and then I'll still buy a CD or a record. Maybe 3 or 4 per year.

I used Napster and Limewire when they were big but Spotify is so much less of a hassle that it's worth ads or a subscription fee.

Typing (album name) + download into google works surprisingly well sometimes.
otherwise get a VPN and keep torrenting from TPB or whatever

Spotify mainly, no need to pirate music anymore.

I haven't downloaded music in years as I've found streaming from Youtube is far easier and of course accessible anywhere there's internet. I know it's not lossless or even 320kbps but I can't say I really hear the difference anyway.

Spotify. If I buy music it's usually on Vinyl or CD. Yes I still from time to time buy CDs....Then back them up to my PC to put on my various devices.

I stream music as well, right now I think I have a free promo from Amazon Music. But once that runs out I’ll probably just go back to using Hoopla, Freegal Music, Soundcloud, and borrowing CDs from the library.

I use Spotify or newsgroups nowadays, newsgroups just for some of the deep electronic stuff I try to find.

roker · Mar 19, 2019

I have a paid sub to youtube and I can use the yt music app for all the songs I want and I can download songs on my phone for offline use. It's all sorts of awesome and gay all over the place.

I’m out of the loop. Why is torrenting no longer an option?

I occasionally buy CDs still too, but rip them and file them away in my CD rack in case of random HDD crashes. Vinyl is mostly how I buy my physical music tho.

Same.

HornheaDD · Mar 19, 2019

Yeah mainly spotify here as well. But I think Soulseek still works, doesn't it? I havent used it in over a year so I could be wrong.

GohanX · Mar 19, 2019

I don't really download, I mostly stream through Pandora. If I really need an album I'll find the cd online for like 5 bucks and then rip it to whatever format I need.

terry.330 · Mar 20, 2019

Just go to Bandcamp and do the name your price thing. There is tons of lossless free shit.

Late · Mar 20, 2019

I've never really pirated music en masse, if there's something that I already have on vinyl/something that's really hard/expensive to get a physical copy of, I use Soulseek.

Plus, I buy vinyl and tapes mostly. Cd's not so much anymore.

Takumaji · Mar 20, 2019

I mostly buy my music. When I download a track, it's usually via YT and some online YT to mp3 convertor.

Support your small producers, buy their shit!!1! :buttrock:

Blu-Ray audio is crazy awesome.

If I were to be buying or downloading anything, it would be that.

thermaltreasure · Mar 20, 2019

Soulseek

NeoSneth · Mar 20, 2019

I just rip the music video from YouTube.
or rip the audio only from YT.

100proof · Mar 20, 2019

Bigger bands I mostly just rip individual songs from YT or use a VPN to torrent the album (there are still several big public torrent sites out there). Smaller bands/artists, I'll usually just buy the album but there are private BT trackers out there for most genres of music.
