But why would you download a (probably illegal) rip that is poor quality, when the act of downloading and keeping the rip is probably illegal in itself (not exactly sure about that) from a platform that is notoriously unsuitable for music when you could just download high-quality release from a music tracker specially optimised for this use case?
I mean, if you are ok with doing something (probably) illegal, why not get the best experience out of it?
- philh 9y agoIn my case, because I know youtube and youtube-dl, and I haven't noticed the sound quality being bad, and I don't even know what a music tracker is.
- kuzimoto 9y agoI agree with your sentiments, but to play devil's advocate grabbing music from youtube protects you from DMCA notices from your ISP, is always available (no having to wait for seeds/peers on more obscure music), and is much safer (for an average person) where content on public trackers has some risk of containing malware/virus/etc.
