There are no "legal" music stores that approach the breadth and quality of the music library that was available on what.cd.
As the music industry's revenue stream changes from music sales to low-bitrate streaming services, we will see our shared musical heritage regress to the pre-compact-disc era in terms of audio quality and long-term availability.
We'll be lucky if recorded music of today survives long enough to exit copyright and be added to public libraries before being lost forever, or at least before we lose the "master" recordings.
- fuzzywalrus 10y agoMost of my downloads were of out of print / rare releases. Want the Oh My God CD Single that featured a few A Tribe Called Quest remixes? They had it. Want a Willie Hutch vinyl that never made it to CD? They had it. Wanted a Beatles album, specific release/print? They had it. Heard a punk 45 single from the late 70s? They had it.
