    Usually music made by artists from my country, if they have a website where I can pay for their music directly to them I do it that way.

      🙌🏻 I buy CDs and newer unseal them, but pirate the songs because it’s more convenient.

        Sometimes I rip CDs to replace music I’ve already pirated just for the feeling of having music I ripped myself.
        Makes no sense, I know, but music is just for the feeling after all.

            I mean, I can put up with far worse quality.

            In some cases I have to. For example I have some classical songs ripped from YouTube that sound absolutely horrible, but I am kinda accustomed to those specific performances, and it’s not always possible to find a better recording from one specific performance. And the other ones just sound… off. Sometimes this is also the case with remasters.

            The worst one I have is a song from Beatles I am keeping both because it’s one of the first files I downloaded when I was 8 and however weird it sounds, I got used to the compression artifacts. It’s 32kbps HE-AAC at 22.05kHz sample rate. I don’t even know its name. The name and metadata is in Chinese.
