If you worked your ass and at the end of the day the manager told you ain't getting paid you'd be furious.
Buying music isn't being a pleb. Pirating everything is.
I love pirating stuff when i can't pay for it but justifying it with something with shit like "it's 2016 bruh" or "lul sharing is free it's my right on the internet it's art" is just retarded. Pirating music or movies is stealing. Just like they told you in every dvd.

I buy everything from bandcamp if possible. If not, I either pirate or buy physical. Then I upload it to Google Play so I can stream it when needed. Subscriptions are not an option

The funny thing is the pirated movies don't tell you not to pirate, while the movie you payed for treats you like you did.
Also, the hipsters who support indie bands buy enough vinyls to support that band, and the big bands attract enough normies who don't now what pirating is or are too stupid to wrap their head around it. We won't make Kanye go broke because I stole a few of his records. We just got to keep this shit on the down low.

Another vote for Spotify Premium. I know the artists get about 0.001 cents per play or something, but it's better than nothing I suppose.

Have bought merch and digital copies directly from their stores to support. Going to shows helps them out a lot more too.

I only download discographies of tpb

Learn how to use Soulseek QT and don't forget to share your music folder too.

Ever since I found out about this a few years back, I've been able to download almost 99% of even the most obscure 70s and 80s j-pop. If I can find that, it should be enough to tell you how good it is.

>>57050272
Can you explain how that would be a limitation? Assuming a PII could run a "modern browser" in some form or another.

https://www.nyaa.se/?cats=3_14

>>57050310
I'm not sure, but even with a fairly modern browser it just won't load either legacy or new captchas.

>>57050325
Fuuuuuuck, maybe I'll just do something else with it

>>57049071

I do because I don't want to have to deal with bullshit ratios or buying seedboxes. google play music man, 15 bux for the senpai

soulseek 100 percent

>>57049957
Pirate the music, see artists live (if you really want to be nice buy some merchandise). Screw the label as much as possible

I just read up on Soulseek. How has it not been shut down? It sounds like an exact clone of Napster, with a central server and all.

>>57050364
You can browse most other websites, though. Probably slowly if you don't have the 450MHz model.

>>57050280
I've been using slsk for years now, and everything I downloaded sounds acceptable to me, but when it comes to tags, metadata and album art it's horrendous. Got any tips, especially on being able to download with or attatch some album art to its respective album?

If musicians worked like normal people work maybe then i could pay their shit

but making music is a pleasure of life so fuck off

>>57049082
>Pay for it and support the developer you fucking idiot.
>support the developer
Developers are people who work from 8 to 5 and get paid by the hour, they don't care if you buy or pirate, as long as you enjoy the product.

Publishers care that you buy their product.

>>57049071
I download and find new artists from Technicaldeathmetal.org and Valhallametaldownloads.com

I then refine my tastes to the albums I really like, and buy those, usually from bandcamp

what.cd

>>57051600
What a retarded post
How is being a musician different to normal work?
And it's not really a pleasure of life if you're not getting paid for it. That would make it a hobby

>>57053741
The sales of the product are a metric for the publishers to determine the success of the developers. Bad sales = unhappy publishers = fired developers

>>57053929
They get less than 5%-10% their money by selling albums/songs to individuals. And yes, any form of an entertainment job is highly overpaid these days and is pretty much a hobby-like job instead of a serious one.

Nope.

Also publishers have no power over developers, studios do.

You really don't know how it works nowadays, this isn't 1998.

When I was underage with no income I mostly torrented (or bought pirated cd before that)
Nowadays I mostly torrent because most music produced is listen once and forget, only buy if its worth buying

This, the restrictions on dvd/bluray are insane. You cant skip menus, you cant change aspect ratio, you need hdcp, you need special software, player has to be updated.

Soulseek senpai, I don't see why I should use anything else desu tho

Reminds me how matroska has support for all the shit like menus, but nobody ever uses it because its worthless.

Normies, how do they live with that shit?

>>57049071
I don''t pay for music if the musician doesn't get 80% of my money. If I really like something, I'll pirate it and either donate directly to the creator (if possible) or buy something I know the majority of the money will go to them for (and overpay if possible). Third option if neither of those work is to go to one of their shows and buy a CD directly after pirating it.

If I don't like it enough to do one of those, I normally delete it.

>>57049071
My friend gave me 1TB HDD of music. Don't think i'll need more till my own end.

Apple™ music™
works great, and is high enough quality that I don't notice a difference between flac and what they offer.

Spotify, Soulseek if you're a cheap bastard like me.
But buy your favorite albums, buy tshirts, go to concerts. Support them for making music you enjoy.

i would use piratebay for studio albums or go to datpiff for fire mixtapes

hi i see you're new here, uh.. but just keep lurking and discovering the cool new lingo because you're a bit behind! high five!

A lot of what I like is released gratis by the artists on Soundcloud and Bandcamp.

what.cd

or if you can't into torrents:

https://github.com/reversing-research/deezer-download/blob/master/deezer-download.py

Shit quality (160k VBR), but free deezer catalogue is surprisingly vast.

>>57054866
>>57054867

>>57049071
Surprisingly Soulseek.

I would try buy or go to concerts, but most of the music I get are obscure bands that I can barely find info on. They've most likely broken up, don't tour, or aren't making money off of sales.

It is hard to keep up with new releases though.

>>57055023
slsk is legit if it weren't for the shit speeds, (or more like shit ui why it cant select the fastest peer automatically? why every first click is burgerbro on dialup in wyoming?).

Why would anyone in 2016 still want to sign to a major label?

Plenty of artists have made it without them especially now with YouTube and self-releases.

You don't need a professional studio to record anything either. This was recorded a decade ago in his band member's house.

>>57055040
Even youtube-dl can do better than that.

>>57055036
I have the latest version and it usually sorts uploaders based on wait time and speed. Those at the top have fast speed and no wait.

>>57055040
Some Russian sites I've been to have pretty every DnB release, pretty cool but still sketchy.

>>57055060
VK.com is state approved, nothing sketchy about that.

The free ride is over though, now you havet o hand over your cell# to FSB to rip shitty dnb encodes from there.

Record labels and publishers are making record profits. Executives and artists alike don't need to be paid $20+ million a year for a talentless effort.

I pay for physical and torrent from many sources.

>>57049071
Spotify.
10€ per month really isn't that much when you got a job and earn money.

If you're a faggot you can also use the web version and block the ads...

>>57054669
Blu rays and various digital services. You gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette I guess.

From the Touhou music database of course. Over 1.35 terabytes of touhou music!

I rip everything from Spotify. It's really comfortable and I get high quality audio.

-download flac from torrent
-download shit from deezer with deezloader

>>57050947
I used MusicBrainz Picard some time ago. It's pretty good for automatically setting metadata and covers if you have full albums. The audio fingerprint feature works pretty consistently too.

>>57051508
Well shit. Guess I'll be doing that.

>>57049071
i don't store music locally but i guess if i did i'd use some sort of youtube downloader, pretty much everything is on there that i'd want to listen to

>Where does /g/ get their music from? Please don't tell me you pay for it.

I buy it. I pretty much only listen to CDs or LPs.

How can you expect people, whose music you like, to keep producing music, if their not getting paid for their effort?

Isn't that pretty shitty quality though?
