Back to Piracy! โ๐ดโโ ๏ธ
Really though? It isn't necessary. Use Bandcamp, you probably have half your artists covered. The rest - one of those Spotify alternatives: Tidal? Qobuz?
Personally I do selfhost btw. Jellyfin, though I heard of a better alternative specifically for music recently - and forgot the name again ๐ฅ Something lowercase, ~~like a verb... "normalize" or some such.~~ Navidrome! Thanks @0konomiyaki@aussie.zone
Navidrome maybe? But I use jellyfin + symfonium myself. All my music is either bandcamp or used CDs. Started collecting music late last year and my entire collection is legally sourced now. No piracy required. Hardest part was starting very small and building the collection over time.
Yes! Navidrome!
I get them dirt cheap or completely for free. It's actually reverse piracy (no I'm not serious) since no doubt the previous owners ripped everything.
Yea, it literally makes no difference for the artist, if you pirate or if you buy a used CD.
Pirate it is just way more convenient.
