7 days agothe way people listen to music nowadays is awful and has made the average person wayyyy less capable of talking about music. It’s actually very sad. Constant drive to consume new tunes without any context of deep listening to an album or looking at the evolution in a bands discography. I hope streaming services die for this reason alone. Being more deliberate about what you listen to is a good thing for your artistic mind. So hopefully some people do actually switch to pirating again and spend time building out a library of their own
I did this a couple years ago. It was definitely a huge task. I split it up over the course of a few months. Downloading albums I didn’t already have from slsk, tagging them with music brainz, putting them up on a plex server (I bought a tiny cheap PC and a hard drive for this purpose alone). I’m very glad I did it and now I can stream the library anywhere but it’s definitely a mammoth task
