Man this makes me nostalgic for the old internet… Is it the song you want or is it something very different? Or does it have some hidden virus? You won’t know until tomorrow because dial up takes forever! I know I’m in the wrong place to say this but, I don’t even know how to do that anymore. Spotify spoiled me. Now it’s hot garbage. I should’ve never given up owning my media.

Soulseek is the best place for music outside of private trackers imo

Try Bandcamp as well for nonpiracy options. Buy and download FLAC albums from the artists themselves. No DRM

I highly HIGHLY recommend cancelling your streaming. Ive been no streaming for a year and a half and its been amazing. Music is mostly youtube download and convert these days. I just do it in command line but there are still apps too. You can still leech music if you want. Its not much dfferent than movies or something. As long as you know what to look for, its pretty safe.

Go back to your roots. It all works still. Soulseek, edonkey, torrents, IRC stilll has xdcc, and of course lots of direct download. There are more programs than ever before to help you host your own music easily.

Theres a github program that let’s you download your Spotify music as a list that you can concert into a YouTube playlist, then you just download the YouTube videos as mp3’s. A lot the music I listen to isnt even on Spotify but that YouTube video I found 10+ years ago still is.
