I encourage you to check out https://hdtracks.com https://hdtracks.com. As far as the expense goes, yes you're right it's a drag. One thing I like to do is buy used CD's on ebay or Amazon (usually about half price from a reseller, or even cheaper from private sellers) and rip them to flac.
- voltagex_ 9y agoYep, I think the last time I looked at hdtracks, less than 20% of the songs I wanted were there, even without taking into account the asinine geoblocking going on there. Don't they also force you to use a pretty terrible download client? And yes, I've grabbed discs from eBay and Discogs, but it takes up a lot of time. Then, if I get rid of the disc (or omg, sell it to the one person left who wants discs) am I still allowed to play it? I don't like dumping CDs in landfill.
- jarman 9y ago>buy used CD's If artists receive nothing from such trades, why not just pirate (assuming you do not care about physical disc)?
- mrguyorama 9y agoFor me, I don't have a "Collection" of music I like. My tastes are hard to define, ephemeral, and silly. I will play a song hundreds of times and then a week later never play it again. I want to support artists but doing so through anything other than a subscription process would bankrupt me
