Where do you pirate your music from?

[Yellow Yam Scam]

Now that What is gone, obscure music is much harder to find for me since I don't really trust public torrent trackers. Any of you guys know good sources for tunes that are private trackers or file share blogs?


Here are two of my favorite sources

For kpop: k2nblog.com (Lots of ads but uploads practically all major kpop VERY quickly and in high bitrates.

General pop, hip-hop, jpop: http://www.love-melody.com/ (No real bitrate information but mostly rips from iTunes.

I just use a YouTube to MP3 emulator. That seems to work pretty well.

kickass torretns was seized. It was the place to go for discographies.

I had a few friends who were members of various private trackers, what cd (RIP) included.

I would ask them to redirect a torrent my way, or would give them a thumb drive to put FLAC discographies on.

SoulSeek in 90% of cases.

 

[Todesfurcht]

I don't.
But when I do, I just download them off of YouTube.

Yeah. Stopped using public torrent trackers because the majority of music I was downloading was low quality and tbh, I listen to some pretty obscure things sometimes, and the Youtube converters are a much easier option.

Thank you, I'm a fellow kpop/khiphop fan and it's always good to find communities dedicated to that

Yeah, but I was having a really hard time trying to find some mathcore music on regular torrent sites. And the ones labeled as mathcore weren't even close form being mathcore.

You sound like some kind of criminal!

Piracy is totally evil!

Google.com

Just type the name of the Artist, Album and year + rar/zip and you almost always find a file. Just make sure to scan that shit before you open it.

Rutracker.org has entire discographies of various artists of all genres, both in mp3 and lossless. It's in Russian, though.

If I need to download a track that isn't available there (like various obscure trance tracks), I go to VK and rip it from the site's music streaming service with the help of Flash Video Downloader extension for Firefox. That's another reason why VK is better than Facebook.

I stopped pirating when Spotify became a thing. And usually anything I want that isn't on Spotify is indie shit on Bandcamp and cheap af or pay what you want.

Isn't there a trend of musicians who refuse to use spotify? I know Prince held a firm stance on that

Even as such services go, Spotify is pretty shit, their software is buggy spyware, and it doesn't play things in an order I like.

I used to use last.fm and even subscribed to it but now it's been basically eaten by Spotify, too.

 

[StraightShooter]

Unless Spotify or Youtube doesn't have it I don't bother pirating it.
