I was a happy Netflix user until 2018, before that I haven’t really pirated any movies (with very rare exceptions) for almost a decade but I recently started again. I’m was doing my monthly budgeting and realized I was paying for too many subscription services. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Shudder, Disney+, Hulu and Crunchyroll. My family likes to watch different types of content that is distributed on many different platforms.

I was never subscribed to these many services until a couple years ago. I was thinking which service I should cancel when I realized I had the option to cancel all of them this entire time. I’m torrenting again and I started saving a considerate amount.

The only service I’m paying for is Spotify which I think it’s fairly priced and offers all the music my family listens too (and it’s convenient). All the competitors pretty much offer the same content and that’s how streaming services should be.

I remember back in the day using eMule and BitChe (to look for torrents). Now I’m using Deluge as my torrent client and I I get my torrents from 1337x. What sites are you guys using?

    CD’s are 16 bit, 44kHz, and can not go higher. There are higher mediums, tho I agree with your sentiment.

    I use Musi and it has everything for free (I have no spotify) and acts like youtube red. No account needed. One ad if u don’t pay.

      24/192 rips from a half inch tape are the way to go.

      You don’t do anything with those though without a DAC that can play that without downsampling and an operating system with a sensible sound service.

      And the right genre and good ears.
